Health
Genetic
engineering enables scientists to create plants, animals
and micro-organisms by manipulating genes in a way that
does not occur naturally.
The
World Health Organization defines health
as:
- "A state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being, and does not consist only of the absence of
disease or infirmity."
In any organism, health is a form of
homeostasis. This is a of balance, with inputs and outputs
of energy and mass in approximate equilibrium (allowing for
growth). Health also implies positive prospects for continued
survival.
In humans, with the capacity to analyze and anticipate, health
is more than immediate homeostasis. That is, not only must
everything be all right at the moment, but there should be
subjective understanding that the "healthful" balance will
continue. This understanding comes from
somatic perception, including
pain
and discomfort, as well as
cognitive perception. In order to feel health, people need
to feel that they look well, are functioning as well as they
always have, and that no external or internal risk imminently
endangers their healthful state.
The study of health of humans and animals is
health science.
