A recent survey by the Prevent Cancer Foundation reveals a concerning trend among Gen Z (ages 21-27) – they are plugged into their phones but not into their health. #PhoneAnxiety and Knowledge Gaps Hinder Screenings The survey highlights two key factors impacting Gen Z’s screening rates: phone anxiety and lack of awareness. Phone Anxiety: Over half (55%) of Gen Z reported being less likely to schedule appointments if it requires calling a healthcare provider’s office. This highlights the need for more accessible scheduling options, such as online booking or appointment apps. Lack of Awareness: Many Gen Z respondents were unaware of the recommended screenings for their age group. For example, only 35% of Gen Z women were up to date on cervical cancer screenings, and 27% hadn’t received a skin cancer check in the past year. The Path Forward: Embracing Digital Solutions The survey also indicates Gen Z’s preference for digital solutions. Nearly half expressed a desire for online appointment booking. #Healthcare providers and organizations should prioritize these digital tools to improve accessibility and encourage younger generations to prioritize their health. https://lnkd.in/dHB6ZZDM

We all have those genetic traits that we wish could have played out a little differently. Maybe a little taller, smarter or stronger. And then, there are the devastating genetic medical conditions that none of us want to have. What if you could pick & choose the exact genetic composition of your unborn child? Would you do it? https://lnkd.in/daQY9XMX 🚫 The Problem: *Natural reproduction is a genetic lottery. We don’t always know how our kids will turn out until they are born — healthy or potentially battling a devastating genetic disease. ➡️ The Current Solutions: #ReproductiveGenetics Through techniques like Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) and Genetic Reproductive Medicine, we can screen embryos before implantation to reduce genetic disorders and improve outcomes. Some see potential benefits as follows; ✅Reducing Genetic Disorders & reducing long-term health burdens. ✅Enhancing Quality of Life, healthier lives, longer lifespans. ✅Empowering parents to gain more control over their decisions. ✅Improving IVF Success, higher chances of healthy pregnancies. ✅Potential for Positive Traits could make the world a better place. Others see potential risks as follows: 🚫Risk of Misuse: The slippery slope to non-medical enhancements. 🚫This tech isnt cheap, creating a genetic divide between rich & poor. 🚫Reduced Diversity, loss of genetic variation could have negative effects. 🚫Children might feel pressured to live up to 'designed' potential. 🚫Ethical Concerns: Are we playing God? Where’s the line? 🚫Unknown unintended Consequences: Is there long-term effects of altering natural selection. Is there a self preserving ''good reason'' why natural selection sometimes ''gets it wrong''. Big shout out to leaders in this space; CRISPR Therapeutics, Genomic Prediction, Igenomix, Part of Vitrolife Group Are you for, or against Reproductive Genetic Selection?
