1. Genetic engineering can be used to treat and cure genetic diseases by altering genes through techniques like gene therapy. This allows prospective parents to eliminate genetic disorders in their children. 2. The Human Genome Project provided information about all human genes that has implications for treating disease and diagnosing patients, but also raises ethical concerns about genetic discrimination and human cloning. 3. Advances in genetic engineering and genetic counseling allow prospective parents to understand genetic disorders and make informed choices to reduce the risk of passing on diseases to their children.
