this should help (from the top of my mind you could def be more specific)
Genetic technologies have the potential to be significantly effective in preventing and controlling non communicable diseases. The ability to manipulate genes has enabled us to devise a number of ways to prevent certain non-infectious diseases, like infectious diseases. For example, the genetic technology of pre-implantation genetic testing involves eggs being harvested, fertilised and tested to get genetic mutations and only mutation-free eggs are retained and implanted. This ensures any potential of the zygote carrying non-infectious disease causing cells to be detected and eliminated. However, the usage of this technology is reduced due to ethical arguments about altering the genome of foetus as ‘playing god’. Additionally, diseases such as Vitamin A deficiency and nutritional diseases are also targeted by genetic technologies effectively through trangenisis. For example, golden rice which is created by inserting a gene from maize and soil bacterium which produces beta carotene for vitamin A production in the body. Despite having the capacity to prevent blindness and being immunocompromised, individuals are still uncertain in the usage and consumptions of GMOs due to how current they are. Therefore, genetic technologies have a great potential to prevent non-infectious diseases.
