hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism

Explanation: Thyroid is a small gland with the shape of a butterfly located in the lower neck that controls the body's metabolism by secreting two hormones: thyroxine (T4) and iodothyronine (T3). A well functioning thyroid secretes the right quantity of hormones that are needed to maintain the normal body metabolism. When the thyroid malfunctions, it results in a thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism is a thyroid disease that results from the undersecretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland while hyperthyroidism is a thyroid disease resulting from the oversecretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Hypothyroidism results from an interactive thyroid gland and it is characterized by weight gain and lethargy while hyperthyroidism results from overactive thyroid gland and it is characterized by weight loss and increase metabolism.

a few examples of ethical concerns involving genetically engineering of humans include

-privacy of genetically tested people

- potential side effects

-long term effects

Answer from: Quest

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
