What are the goals for human genetic engineering?
First and foremost, there is currently no known research anywhere in the world with the purpose of growing genetically engineered humans. There are discussions about the benefits of such technology, as this would allow us to eradicate genetically inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis and haemophilia. Genetically engineered human embryos could be used for research to understand how and why defects occur during development of a baby in the womb. Theoretically, it could allow modifying most biological traits of the human body. Some people consider this an advantage, but across the world it is most commonly considered unacceptable and/or undesirable. Genetically engineered human cells (as opposed to entire humans) are already in use to treat severe genetic blood diseases. For this purpose, haemopoietic stem cells are taken from the patient's bone marrow. They are then genetically modified to correct the mutations that cause the blood disease. Finally, the patient's bone marrow is eradicated and the treated haemopoietic stem cells are injected. These stem cells then restore the bone marrow to a healthy state. Similar technologies are being developed to cure other organ-specific genetic defects.
What diseases can be treated with chelation therapy?
Edetate calcium disodium (EDTA calcium) and dimercaprol (BAL) are given through an intravenous line or in shots, while succimer (Chemet) and penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen) are taken by mouth.

Why does garbage have to be disposed properly?
Garbage must be handled properly to prevent the spread of disease, reduce vermin, and minimize odors. Garbage treated through a garbage disposal must be properly vented, macerated and rinsed in order to prevent backup in the sink drains and into the dishwasher (if one is present). Food waste and food containers are tremendous sources of odors and are extremely attractive targets for rats, mice, pigeons, ants, and other disease carriers.

insulin
Disadvantages of genetically modified insulin?
Advantages * Cheaper to be made then by normal methods * the E.coli bacteria are friendly to the body * bacteria can be placed in yoghurt- 1-3 yoghurt's a day should be all you would need * bacteria can produce exact amount of insulin needed in response to the host's needs * no allergy problems - using pig insulin caused problems for people allergic to pigs Disadvantages * is still being tested with mice * yoghurt would need to be eaten regularly to replace bacteria
