Genetic Modification is the next buzz field in the life sciences industry. Gene editing technology has been developed that helps scientists now splice genes, and combine genes in lab setups to create modifications within any biological system. The presence of ...

Recent train accidents in India have exposed a series of serious problems:
Principal Reasons:
-Outdated Infrastructure: The tracks, bridges, and signaling systems are getting more and older, and accidents occur.
Human Error: The social issue that arises from your business organization is that staff negligence, which is a result of complacency or inadequate training somehow leads to an occurrence of accident which results in deaths.
Maintenance: Rails, wheels, engines and coaches do not receive proper attention as far as maintenance is concerned and therefore pose a threat to lives.
Excessive Speed: This speed is still high at the areas where the tracks are poorly done causing derailment and collision.
-Signaling Failures: When the signaling system malfunctions there will be confusion and random occurrences of mishaps on the rail track.
Safety Enhancement Measures:
-Modernization: Restructuring the existing systems such as railway line maintenance and in the datum bridges, effective signaling system among others.
-Safety Maintenance: Raising maintenance standards and carrying out examinations to check on the staibility of railway properties.
-Training and Skill Development: Providing complete training to railway employees, especially the actual and prospective locomotive drivers, signal Heritage operators, and railway line maintenance employees.
-Strict Adherence to Safety Rules: Such measures as maintenance of a strict standard of safety in the organizations and Sunbelts imposition of fines for recklessness with a view of discouraging negligence.
-Real-time Monitoring: High-technology ways in the monitoring of train and tracks.
Independent Safety Audits: Development of a safety management system and engaging independent experts for a regular safety audit with regards to possible hazards and measures preventions thereof.
Public Awareness: To enthuse the people about railway safety rules and regulation with a view of avoiding the occurrence of such a disaster.
Taking this into consideration, and recognizing the essential means of identifying shortcomings, implementing changes and precautions which can convert the railway system of India safer in the future, some key problems of safety should be mentioned.

The control of designer babies by means of the gene modification techniques is one of the most burning questions in bioethics. Advocates have said using the tool can remove hereditary diseases in human beings, thus, have healthier people and end up lowering healthcare costs. It also might pave the way for further developments of society since the given tech contributes to the increase in human IQ, physical performance, and immunity to certain diseases.
Nonetheless, there are severe ethical issues to ponder concerning this topic. There is concern that off-target effects and new health instances may also occur, which is a main concern. Further, there is also the danger of increasing social injustice where the few with money can afford to get gene editing while the rest cannot. Designer babies provoked the problem of converting people into commodities: making people according to one’s preferences rather than the genetic differences of the world. This might lead to the reduction of diversity and people are forced to fit certain categories or image.
Furthermore, nobody knows how the overall human genes will be affected in short, middle, or Long run, there are ethical questions as to how much people should tinker with the natural acts of evolution. Therefore, based on the evaluation of risks and benefits along with the consideration of the possible social consequences, gene modification for creating designer babies can be ethically acceptable if the regulation of access is done properly with proper ethical considerations.
