Abstract

Designer babies, a concept once relegated to science fiction, are now a burgeoning topic of discussion and exploration in genetics and bioethics. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the designer baby phenomenon, examining its definition and evolution from cinematic fantasy to scientific possibility. We delve into the intricate mechanisms behind designer babies, shedding light on the genetic engineering technologies, particularly CRISPR, that underpin this concept. While these technologies hold immense promise, they are still nascent, awaiting rigorous development and ethical scrutiny. The paper highlights the current state of designer baby research, emphasising that successful implementations on human subjects remained unverified as of its writing. Notably, we recount the controversial case of He Jiankui, whose unapproved and ethically questionable experimentation with CRISPR on embryos in China sent shockwaves through the scientific community. The arguments surrounding designer babies are dissected, presenting both proponents' views, such as the potential to eradicate genetic diseases and enhance human potential, and critics' concerns about ethical dilemmas, reduced genetic diversity, social inequality, and unpredictable consequences. Ethical considerations are paramount, touching upon human dignity, social justice, eugenics, unintended consequences, autonomy, and the impact on religious and moral convictions. Once a fantastical notion, designer babies have become a tangible subject of scientific inquiry and ethical discourse. This paper endeavours to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted dimensions surrounding designer babies, allowing readers to contemplate the ethical, social, and scientific implications of a future where genetic engineering may shape the very essence of human existence. As society grapples with these profound questions, we must navigate this uncharted territory with wisdom, responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to ethical principles.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare has drawn a lot of interest, especially in health counseling. Research on embodied AI has demonstrated emerging clinical significance for therapeutic applications in mental health services. AI in health counseling has a bright future, certain issues still need to be resolved. It is important to carefully negotiate the ethical difficulties surrounding the use of AI in healthcare. Examining the possible advantages, difficulties, and prospects of AI-enhanced health counseling, this literature review explores the state of the field today. The development of a taxonomy of AI dangers in the healthcare domain aims to tackle new issues arising from the application of AI in the medical and healthcare industries. A major benefit of using AI-enhanced health counseling is that it may offer individualized therapies. This individualized approach reflects a holistic view of health by taking into account aspects of mental, emotional, and social well-being in addition to physical health concerns. AI-enhanced health counseling may be able to help with the accessibility and cost issues that come with traditional counseling services. Regardless of location, virtual counselors provide handy support via computers, tablets, and smartphones. When compared to conventional in-person counseling sessions, these AI-based therapies more affordable and scalable.

Abstract

This paper explores the educational policies in the Philippines that focus on the integration of information technology (IT) in public schools. It analyzes the core government initiatives, such as the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP), the Public Schools of the Future in Technology (PSOFT) Act, and the establishment of the Public Education Network (PEN). These policies are examined for their objectives, implementations, and impact on educational equity and quality. Furthermore, the study compares these initiatives with similar efforts in other countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, to highlight best practices and implementation gaps. The paper also addresses the challenges faced in the implementation of these policies and provides recommendations to optimize the digital transformation of the Philippine educational system.

Abstract

This study explores the complex relationship between anxiety, stress, and the digitalization of education among students. The transition to online learning and the increasing reliance on digital tools have intensified the challenges students face in adapting to new educational technologies. The demands for constant connectivity, the overwhelming amount of information, and the need to navigate digital platforms contribute to heightened stress and anxiety. Additionally, the reduction in face-to-face interactions and the prevalence of social comparison on digital platforms have further exacerbated mental health issues. This review synthesizes existing research on the impacts of digital education, emphasizing the need for strategies that address students’ psychological well-being. By understanding the factors that contribute to anxiety and stress, educators can create more supportive digital learning environments, promoting both academic success and mental health.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare and holds significant potential to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes through its application in midwifery. This scoping review investigates the role of AI in midwifery, emphasizing its benefits, challenges, and ethical implications. Guided by the Arksey and O’Malley framework, a systematic literature search was conducted using Google Scholar (2014–2024) via the Publish or Perish software, with keywords including "Artificial Intelligence in Midwifery," "AI and Maternal Health," and "Machine Learning in Obstetrics." A total of 15 articles were reviewed. The findings reveal five key areas where AI contributes to midwifery practice: (1) early detection of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes using predictive machine learning models; (2) remote monitoring of pregnancy through wearable devices and mobile applications; (3) use of virtual assistants and chatbots for patient education and psychological support; (4) optimization of healthcare facility management, including electronic health records and resource allocation; and (5) AI-based training simulations for midwives to enhance clinical competencies. While these advancements offer promising improvements, challenges remain, including high implementation costs, limited infrastructure, and data privacy concerns. Ethical considerations stress the importance of ensuring AI complements—rather than replaces—the empathetic, human-centered care that is central to midwifery. This review highlights the transformative potential of AI in midwifery and advocates for its ethical and balanced integration to maximize benefits for maternal and neonatal health.

Abstract

This paper explores the evolving psychology of the Digital Native, a term commonly used to describe individuals who have grown up in the digital age and are inherently familiar with technology. With the advent of the internet and its ubiquity in everyday life, the behaviors, cognitive patterns, and mental frameworks of individuals have drastically shifted. The objective of this article is to present a critical examination of the psychological implications of this digital immersion and offer a conceptual framework for understanding the interaction between scrolling, clicking, and thinking in the context of the Digital Native. This paper employs a comprehensive literature review to analyze recent research on the digital behaviors and cognitive patterns of Digital Natives, using sources published within the last decade for up-to-date insights. Digital Natives' constant digital immersion reshapes cognition, leading to efficiency in information use but also to overload, distraction, and reduced critical thinking. This shift impacts education, work, and development, requiring strategies that support deep thinking and focus.
