Ovarian Cancer : In 1995, the rate of women being diagnosed
with ovarian cancer each year in the United States was 22,000
(Anonymous 1995). This form of cancer is not easily detected
in the early stages, which means that by the time it is diagnosed,
serious health problems have occurred. Ovarian cancer is less
prevalent than breast cancer, has a higher mortality rate and is
linked with the same genetically presupposed gene. It is the
fourth leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States
causing 14 500 deaths in 1998 (Bonn, 1999). An annual pelvic
exam and possible the new testing for the gene are the most
common preventative measures. This 5 page paper explores the
physiological repercussions of this deadly disease.

possibilities inherent in genetic engineering, but they often fail
to understand the true goals of the practice. Bibliography lists 4
