The Problems of Genetic Engineering
Peace Review, 2000When Aldous Huxley sketched the outlines of an anti-utopian society in his 1946 classic Brave New World, some did not take his fears seriously. But his dystopian society is closer to reality today than many could imagine. Bio-utopians have now launched a techno-scientific revolution that could have immense implications for the future.

Human Reproduction Update, 1995
Until now most research, and its funding, has been focused on animal and human health care as well as simple microbiological model systems such as Escherichia coli and yeast. Molecular plant studies have generally lagged behind, often simply adapting discoveries from the animal field to plants.

Genetically engineered kidneys
Pediatric Nephrology, 1993We review the available methods of creating genetically engineered kidneys. These include transgenic technology to introduce novel genes or delete existing genes and methods of gene transfer into the post-natal or adult kidney. The use of such technology has provided insights into renal development and growth and created new animal models of human ...

The advent of genetic engineering
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2001By early 1977, I had fulfilled all degree requirements and demonstrated that discrete genetic elements such as promoters, ribosome binding sites, and coding sequences, could be arranged into new and functional combinations. It was apparent that genetic engineering would be a convenient route to obtain large quantities of proteins that were commercially

Genetic engineering for haemophilia A
Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2006At first sight, haemophilia A would appear to be an ideal candidate for treatment by gene therapy. There is a single gene defect; cells in different parts of the body, but especially the liver, produce Factor VIII, and only 5% of normal levels of Factor VIII are necessary to prevent the serious symptoms of bleeding.

The dilemma of genetic engineering
Journal of Religion & Health, 1972Throughout history, scientific and technological advancements have pre sented a dilemma to mankind. The basic problem is that advances in knowledge do not automatically define the criteria for their use. As a result, we find that nearly all of our scientific knowledge has the potential of being "good" or "bad," depending upon man's application of it ...

Genetic Engineering of Livestock
Science, 1989Genetic engineering of livestock is expected to have a major effect on the agricultural industry. However, accurate assessment of the consequences of transgene expression is impossible without multigenerational studies. A systematic study of the beneficial and adverse consequences of long-term elevations in the plasma levels of bovine growth hormone ...

Genetic Engineering for Xenotransplantation
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2001Xenotransplantation is being pursued vigorously to solve the shortage of allogeneic donor organs. Experimental studies of the major xenoantigen (Gal) and of complement regulation enable model xenografts to survive hyperacute rejection. When the Gal antigen is removed or reduced and complement activation is controlled, the major barriers to xenograft ...

The Ethics of Genetic Engineering
Journal of Applied Philosophy, 1996ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to determine whether genetic engineering is ever acceptable. The prominent arguments which have been put forward by the opponents of genetic engineering are examined and evaluated. The arguments ‘we should not interfere with nature’, ‘we should not alter the genetic constitution of organisms’, and ‘we should not ...

Evolution and Genetic Engineering
2013A cell’s genotype represents the cell’s genetic potential, whereas its phenotype represents the expression of a culture’s potential. The genotype of a cell can be altered by mutations. Mutations may be selectable or unselectable . The rate of mutation can be enhanced by the addition of chemicals called mutagens or by radiation.
