Bibliography Abstract This paper sets out to defend human genetic engineering with a new bioethical approach, post-humanism, combined with a radical democratic political framework. Arguments for the restriction of human genetic engineering, and specifically germ-line enhancement, are reviewed. Arguments are divided into those which are fundamental matters of faith, or "bio-Luddite" arguments, and those which can be addressed through public policy, or "gene-angst" arguments. The four bio-Luddite concerns addressed are: Medicine Makes People Sick; There are Sacred Limits of the Natural Order; Technologies Always Serve Ruling Interests; The Genome is Too Complicated to Engineer. I argue that these are matters of faith that one either accepts or rejects, and that I reject.

Genetic engineering From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Genetically modified organism Discuss An iconic image of genetic engineering; this 1986 "autoluminograph" of a glowing transgenic tobacco plant bearing the luciferase gene of fireflys strikingly demonstrates the power and potential of genetic manipulation. Genetic engineering genetic modification GM ), and the now-deprecated gene splicing are terms for the process of manipulating genes in an organism , usually outside the organism's normal reproductive process It often involves the isolation, manipulation and reintroduction of DNA into model organisms , usually to express a protein . The aim is to introduce new characteristics to an organism in order to increase its usefulness, such as increasing the yield of a crop species, introducing a novel characteristic, or producing a new protein or enzyme. Examples are the production of human insulin through the use of modified bacteria and the production of new types of experimental mice such as the OncoMouse (cancer mouse) for research, through genetic redesign.

Genetic Engineering "It's time to stop worshipping gods, and start aiming at becoming gods." Markoff Chaney Key words: bioethics, ethics, eugenics, genetics, humankind, humanity, nuclear transfer, science The Uncover of the Pyramid Since Mendel's experiences and the discovery of the DNA as the genetic material, we started to know how and why we are like we are we; started to understand more about how our bodies work. Our genes are like the computer program running in us; we are what our genes code us to be. The first big success for genetic engineer (GE) was the production of insulin by genetically modified bacteria. It showed the medical, economical, and industrial possibilities of this technology. Like a pyramid buried in the sands of the desert, the possibilities and uses of GE were being uncovered. Thanks to refined techniques in molecular genetics and recombinant DNA techniques, its uses soon started to be employed in a vast array of areas: Medicine: in the diagnostic of diseases, understanding how diseases occur, and discovering how to fight them; Pharmaceuticals: producing monoclonal antibodies, antibiotics, vaccines, interferon, and many other proteins with pharmaceutical value;

Gene A. Tagliarini, Associate Professor of Computer Science at UNCW, received the BA and MA degrees in Mathematics from the University of South Florida and the PhD in Computer Science from Clemson University. Dr. Tagliarini, who has served as Principal Investigator for both Department of Defense and industry contracts, is an active researcher in the field of biologically inspired computing. In particular, he was active in the development of networks that have been used for classification of sonar returns, fingerprint matching, image compression, classification of minerals, combinatorial optimization, and constraint satisfaction. Under funding from Allied Signal, Inc., he developed a genetic algorithm to design chemical structures possessing specific physical properties. Recently, he has applied wavelet processing techniques to both one- and two-dimensional signals, with special emphasis upon combining wavelet and neural processing paradigms. Dr. Tagliarini has also been actively involved in the design and implementation of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and their supporting algorithms for a variety of applications. In an ongoing project funded by Square D Company (Seneca, SC), Dr. Tagliarini developed a GUI that enables manufacturing personnel to program a wire-harness-cutting robot directly from a description of the devices that must be connected by the harness.

Genetic Engineering is now a hot topic within campaigning circles throughout the UK and indeed world-wide. One of the most exciting things about the wider campaign against genetic engineering is the number of groups active on varying levels. While some groups are working on the animal welfare side of genetic engineering, others are working on the patenting of life. Some want complete bans, some the labelling of GE products and others moratoriums, while others are simply concentrating on raising public awareness. It became apparent that all these groups needed to establish some common ground and exchange information in order to be as effective as possible. The other need was for information to get out to the general public in order to inform and enable them to become actively involved. The Genetic Engineering Network (GEN) was set up in early 1997 to achieve these aims and exists as a clearing house for information.

print version Search: Wired News Animations Wired Magazine HotBot (the Web) [an error occurred while processing this directive][an error occurred while processing this directive][an error occurred while processing this directive] Issue 8.04 - Apr 2000 Why the future doesn't need us. Our most powerful 21st-century technologies - robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotech - are threatening to make humans an endangered species. By Bill Joy From the moment I became involved in the creation of new technologies, their ethical dimensions have concerned me, but it was only in the autumn of 1998 that I became anxiously aware of how great are the dangers facing us in the 21st century. I can date the onset of my unease to the day I met Ray Kurzweil, the deservedly famous inventor of the first reading machine for the blind and many other amazing things. Ray and I were both speakers at George Gilder's Telecosm conference, and I encountered him by chance in the bar of the hotel after both our sessions were over. I was sitting with John Searle, a Berkeley philosopher who studies consciousness. While we were talking, Ray approached and a conversation began, the subject of which haunts me to this day. I had missed Ray's talk and the subsequent panel that Ray and John had been on, and they now picked right up where they'd left off, with Ray saying that the rate of improvement of technology was going to accelerate and that we were going to become robots or fuse with robots or something like that, and John countering that this couldn't happen, because the robots couldn't be conscious.

What is Genetic Engineering? Genetic Engineering is the heritable, directed alteration of an organism. A heritable alteration is a change that can be carried from one generation to the next. Genetic engineering is performed by modifying an organism's own DNA or introducing new DNA to perform desired functions. Why does genetic engineering involve DNA? Basic genetics How does DNA work? Regulation of gene expression ... Summary Biotechnology is a broader term than genetic engineering and includes non-genetic techniques to modify organisms. Genetic engineering is the most powerful and least understood tool for biotechnology, and is the focus of these pages.

Genetic Engineering CivAb Summer 98 issue home From the Summer 1998 issue of The Civil Abolitionist Jeremy Rifkin applies for patent on human gene scrambling This is was shocking news for anyone who has heard or read the executive director of the Foundation for Economic Trends describe the dangers inherent in transplanting genes from one species to another. It turns out, however, that the purpose of making the application was to keep gung-ho gene jugglers from grabbing the ball and running with it before they know in which direction the goalposts lie. Rifkin and Stewart Newman, a cellular biologist at New York Medical College, at Valhalla, made their joint application for a patent covering the mixing of human cells with those of other animals to create a new creature in order to create a breathing space during which the advisability of interspecies gene scrambling could receive the careful consideration its far-reaching effects warrant. "We have announced this patent will be maintained as a genetic conservancy. We will keep it on hold for 20 years, so every government has time to have thoughtful debate," Rifkin told a Vancouver Sun reporter. "A new species, part human, part animaldo we want to take this next step, or do we want to step back and say this is morally wrong?"
