1) cause controversy in society because of patient deaths and scientists are not reporting all side effects.
2) is considered a moral and ethical controversy because some people believe that "tampering" with genetics is against their religion and some believe it is just inhumane and unfair to those being tested on and altered.

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection

An 88 year-old widow with uterine prolapse and multiple comorbid conditions has been unsuccessful in the use of a pessary for treatment elects to receive colpocleisis (lefort type) to prevent further prolapse and avoid more significant surgery like hysterectomy. the treatment is successful. what are the cpt® and icd-10-cm codes reported for this procedure?
