Genetic engineering
Changing genes in humans. Can be used to create designer babies.
2 of 16
Designer babies
.Children which have been designed with preferable characteristics chosen by their parents or have been chosen for lack of genetic disorders
3 of 16
Saviour siblings
A child conceived, often through IVF, with the genetics to allow organs and tissues to be transplanted safely to another child who is ill
4 of 16
Embryology
Experimenting with embryos and early life forms, the study of how living beings develop from embryos and their medical uses e.g. stem cell cloning
5 of 16
Cloning
Making a genetically identical copy of an organism. It is illegal to clone humans. Can be used for reproductive purposes.
6 of 16
Stem cell
Undifferentiated cells found in embryos, umbilical cords and bone marrow in adults which have potential therapeutic benefits.
7 of 16
Transplant surgery
A surgical procedure where organs or tissues are transferred between humans, normally into a patient. E.g. heart, liver, bone-marrow
8 of 16
Blood transfusion
An injection of blood from a healthy person to a patient, such as to replace blood lost during surgery
9 of 16
Human experimentation
The use of humans to test products/drugs to make scientific advancements/progression
10 of 16
IVF
A reproductive technology/method where an egg is removed, fertilised with sperm outside the body. After which the zygotes and embroos are allowed to form then implanted back into the body.

AID
Artificial insemination by donor - A precedure where a sperm sample from an anonymous donor is deposited in the womb for fertilisation

AIH
Artificial insemination by husband - Where sperm samples from a woman's husband are deposited in her womb
13 of 16
Surrogacy
Using a third person to implant an embryo in with the parent's DNA. The embryo is often first fertilised before by IVF
14 of 16
Quality of life
The wellbeing of a person, their comfort, happiness and ability to perceive - sentience. Disabilities could arguably result in a poor quality of life.
