Contemporary Problems
The problem is you cannot prevent any genetic disease because you not even know about it in the first place.
Due to increasing employment opportunities and change of priorities, couples plan to have children later in their lives which increases the change of genetically caused diseases
Most of the people cannot really afford the treatments for these diseases. They simply ignore it till the point when they actually have to face it and die eventually.
Overburdened healthcare system due to life lasting diseases
Research Method
Interviews
Usability Benchmarking
Card Sorting
Why?
I've picked these methods because these are direct. The nature of the project is not of that sort where you can involve a lot of people. The people to research with/on are very limited and they come from different backgrounds, basically representing the whole human race. Even in the testing phase, this project should and must be confidential because it involves a lot of risk and misuse. Interviews can be conducting one-on-one and confidentiality can be ensured through these. Card sorting is necessary because this project has a lot to do with mental states of human and human behaviors overall in the world. This method will allow more us to collect more qualitative data by categorizing participants into groups with respect to diseases.
Questions
General
What's your take on this?
What do you think are the advantages and widespread impact of this in the longer run?
What will be the obstacles?
How can this be misused?
What will be the capital investment in this?
Can it reduce the variety in gene pool?
What will be the impact of this on ethnicities?
Is there a chance to acquire mutations after this process?
If the gene has multiple functions including useful ones, how will you compensate for the useful functions after you replace the gene.?
Application
Can it reduce the variety in gene pool?
Is there a chance to acquire mutations after this process?
If the gene has multiple functions including useful ones, how will you compensate for the useful functions after you replace the gene.?
could there be unwanted immune system reactions?.
Will there be any patients who experience incompatibility issues?
Broader Prolem
Inability to eradicate fatal/nonfatal diseases (Tay'sacha, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, Parkinson, Memory loss, generic deformities, abnormalities at birth)
Who to interview and why?
Geneticist / Biomedical Engineer - Because they have the technical knowledge about how gene replacement works and experience. They would potentially know the advantages and disadvantages of this project. They can give a very unbiased opinion.
