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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Bioethics, 2005
ABSTRACTIn their jointly written book, From Chance to Choice: Genetics and Justice, Allen Buchanan, Dan Brock, Norman Daniels and Daniel Wikler defend ‘the development and deployment of genetic intervention technologies . . .’, including genetic enhancements, against charges that they exacerbate injustice.

Genetic engineering of the chloroplast
Biochimie, 2000Transformation of the plastid genome has a number of inherent advantages for the engineering of gene expression in plants. These advantages include: 10-50 times higher transgene expression levels; the absence of gene silencing and position effect variation; the ability to express polycistronic messages from a single promoter; uniparental plastid gene ...
