Text 1 Some difficult cases of medical ethics.
1. Whose baby?
Treatments now exist which сan decide the sex of a baby according to the parents’ wishes, but most doctors continue to feel that whether the child is a boy or a girl is a decision best left to nature. Mr and Mrs Schwarz are a married couple in their late thirties. They have five healthy children - all boys – are happy, unified family. They are now planning a sixth child, but they are desperate to have a girl this time. Mr Schwarz is equally insistent. “What possible harm can there be in granting us our dearest wish to have a daughter?” he asks. However, allowing parents to choose the sex of their children could affect the delicate balance of the sexes. It is estimated that 65 % of parents in the West would prefer a girl, with serious social consequences.
2. Choosing the sex of your child.
Scientists at the University of Texas (USA) believe they have discovered the key to stopping the ageing process - a simple chemical called telomerase which is produced naturally by the human body. Telomerase enables human cells to divide and replace themselves, but after a certain age the body stops producing it and begins to age. An American drug company has now applied for a licence to produce a drug containing large quantities of telomerase which, it is claimed, will enable takers to live for up to 150 years. No harmful side effects have been identified after five years of laboratory tests, though some scientists are concerned that there may be a small risk of cancer. With 16 % of population of the USA already over sixty years old, the implications for the worlds of health and work are enormous.
3. Drug to prevent ageing.
In 1996, the papers were full of the story of Louise, an eighteen-year-old girl paid by a Mr and Mrs Smith, a childless couple to be a surrogate mother for their baby. Louise received 30,000$. All seemed well until 2 days after the birth of baby Lucy, when Louise, refused to hand over the child, claiming that Mr and Mrs Smith were not suitable parents and that, as the child's natural mother, she had the right to keep her. Although she had no job or means of support, Louise claimed she would work to repay the money (which she had spent) rather than hand the baby back. The Smiths said they had no interest in the money, but only wanted their baby, and took Louise to court to get the child back. The judge ruled in their favour and at the age of 3 months, baby Lucy went to live with the Smiths. Louise was not allowed to have any contact with the child which was legally not hers.

What exactly is cloning and do I need to worry about it?
Cloning is 'making a copy of a plant or animal by taking a cell from it and developing it artificially. Plants were cloned in Ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago, and the first cloned frog appeared in 1968. But interest in cloning grew in 1997 when Dr Ian Wilmut and his colleagues from Edinburgh University announced the birth of the world’s first cloned sheep, Dolly. The truth is that there is no chance that any copy of a human being would be identical either physically or mentally, any more than children are identical to their parents. The possible benefits of cloning, however, are numerous, for artificially producing human tissues and organs for transplant. Biologists have already genetically engineered headless frogs so it may in future be possible to clone headless humans whose organs could be used for transplants. But would we want to?
How can transplants from other animals help humans?
A British girl born with a rare bone condition that left her with only one ear, had a new one grown for her at the Massachusetts Eуе and Ear Infirmary in the USA. By taking cells from her existing ear and transplanting them onto the back of a mouse, scientists grew her another one, which could then be transplanted back. American scientists have also used sheep blood cells to make a universal blood which could be given to any patient, regardless of their blood group while British scientists are close to manufacturing artificial blood, with the aid of milk from genetically-altered cows and sheep. Scientists have also transplanted monkeys' heads on to new bodies, paving the way for head transplants to be performed on humans.
Are we any nearer a cure for cancer or AIDS?
Scientists have produced an impressive list of things that might help prevent cancer: green tea, green salads, brazil nuts, spinach, kidneys, mushrooms, and even lipstick. And although no cure has yet been found for AIDS, extraordinary advances have been made in its treatment. Drugs called protease inhibitors can halt and perhaps even reverse the progress of the virus in the patient's body, so it may be that AIDS will soon no longer be an incurable disease. The problem is the expense: a course of treatment costs many thousands of dollars, and so will do nothing to stop the epidemic in poor countries, where the money would be better spent on preventing malaria, cholera and tuberculosis.
So what can we cure nowadays?
If you're a grey-haired, balding, colour-blind man who snores, there may be good news on the horizon. A doctor in England has announced that by adding a small amount of pigment to an ordinary pair of glasses he has been able to cure colour-blindness .A drug has been tested on dogs which stimulates muscles in their upper airway, thus stopping them from snoring. To prevent grey hair, a special shampoo has been developed that fools pigment cells into producing melanin, which gives hair its colour, and there may now even be a cure for baldness .
Why would anyone want to implant a computer chip into a human brain?
Could it be possible for all the things you need to know to be implanted in your brain on a silicon chip? Doctors at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Germany claim to have found a way of connecting nerve cells to a silicon chip. Such implants — which have so far only been successful in rats could be used to restore vision to people who have become blind or repair nerve damage after a stroke, but also to increase human intelligence. In theory, chips could be programmed to include all the knowledge a human being is likely to need during their life, so eliminating the need for school work!
