Genetic engineering is the artificial transplantation of Heriditary material[genes] of an organism. Genetic engineering is one of the most important field of biology.It has produced such varieties of plants and animals which can fulfill the requirements of food for 1 arge population. Genetic engineering is very important in the diagnosing of heriditary diseases e.g=Haemophilia, colour blindness e.t.c
What is genetic discrimination?
The Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (GINA) was implemented in May of 2008 to prevent employers from discriminating based on genetic information.

Is prenatal diagnosis of Alzheimer disease possible?
There are some genetic tests for Alzheimer's Disease, but I do not believe they are offered as part of routine prenatal genetic testing.

The Alzheimer's test is unlikely to be covered by health insurance. For a thorough consultation, speak with a reputable genetic counselor, and your obstetrician.
