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 ...

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 ...

Genetically engineered probiotics
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2003Probiotic micro-organisms have been used for many years. Originating as food supplements, they are now most often administered orally and offer an attractive alternative for treating of intestinal disorders. A better understanding of the mechanisms by which these micro-organisms act has now opened up possibilities for designing new probiotic strains ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
