Genetic eugenics has become a very popular concept in recent years, and many parents are particularly concerned about the future health of their babies. Therefore, when preparing for pregnancy, they will understand the genes of both parents and conduct tests to determine whether the offspring produced by both parties have any sequelae. But many people still don't fully understand the definition of eugenics, what does eugenics mean?
What does eugenics genetics mean
Genetics: Organisms reproduce their species through various reproductive methods, ensuring the continuity of life between generations, which is called inheritance.
Eugenics: Eugenics refers to "genetic health". Simply put, eugenics refers to the birth of outstanding children or the survival and healthy growth of outstanding individuals.
Eugenics are closely related to heredity. The main goal of eugenics is to prevent the birth of children with congenital malformations and genetic diseases as far as possible, so as to reduce the incidence rate of genetic diseases.
What are the taboos of eugenics inheritance
1. Avoid falling in love with the same illness and getting married and having children. A marriage that falls in love with the same illness and eventually forms a family is an extremely unhealthy marriage. From a reproductive perspective alone, it is easy for both spouses to pass on the same disease to their offspring, which can seriously affect the health of the child.
2. Avoid getting married while ill. After getting married with illness, the changes in married life can affect the health of both spouses. If it is a serious illness, it can also bring crisis and cracks to the family. More importantly, if a child is conceived without being cured of the illness, it is likely to have adverse effects on the child's health.
If the genetic status of the couple can be understood during pregnancy preparation, and the health status of the offspring can be determined, then the baby's health level can be monitored, and possible sequelae can be avoided as much as possible. With the increasing prevalence of genetic diseases, especially genetic diseases, it is necessary for everyone to take cautious preventive and coping measures to achieve eugenics.
