Ethical issues Page 1 of 4 Printable version of this page Genetic Engineering Is it right to select the traits of our children? Is there a difference between screening for genes and directly engineering them into our children? Genetic engineering is a subject for debate througthout the world and especially for religious communities where faith experts apply ancient laws and principals to cutting edge science. Jewish experts have thought particularly hard about genetic engineering. Partly because their community has an obvious application for the technology since there's a particular genetic disease, Tay Sachs, that targets some types of Jewish people and partly because Jewish law, Halakha, has examined medical issues in great depth throughout history. It's also a painful subject for the Jewish community, not just because of the suffering of individuals, but because false genetic and eugenic arguments were used to justify the Holocaust in which over 6 million Jews were murdered.

PRINCIPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Biotechnology Information Series (Bio-1) North Central Regional Extension Publication Iowa State University - University Extension Biotechnology Defined Biotechnology can be broadly defined as "using living organisms or their products for commercial purposes." As such, biotechnology has been practiced by human society since the beginning of recorded history in such activities as baking bread, brewing alcoholic beverages, or breeding food crops or domestic animals. A narrower and more specific definition of biotechnology is "the commercial application of living organisms or their products, which involves the deliberate manipulation of their DNA molecules" (see glossary for definitions of bold-print words). This definition implies a set of laboratory techniques developed within the last 20 years that have been responsible for the tremendous scientific and commercial interest in biotechnology, the founding of many new companies, and the redirection of research efforts and financial resources among established companies and universities. These laboratory techniques provide scientists with a spectacular vision of the design and function of living organisms, and provide technologists in many fields with the tools to implement exciting commercial applications. Principles of Biology All living organisms are composed of cells that contain a substance called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the chromosomes. (See Fig.1.) The structure of DNA molecules contains information that is used by cells as a "recipe" for the organism; that is, the characteristics of any living thing essentially are determined by the information in DNA. The "words" for the DNA recipe, called genes, are derived from a 4-letter alphabet (A, C, G, T) and usually contain between 1,000 and 100,000 letters. The entire recipe, called the genome, may contain between 4 million (simple bacteria) and 3 billion (human) letters or more.

"The board must address several key issues before it is ready to announce grant recipients," said Marcy Darnovsky, the associate executive director of the Center. "Most importantly, the stem cell program doesn't have any money. It is irresponsible for its leaders to promise grants that they may be unable to deliver." The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) was created by last year's Proposition 71 to issue grants, funded by bonds, to support stem cell research. It has been unable to issue bonds because the constitutionality of Proposition 71 is being challenged in the courts.

Society is in the midst of a genetic revolution that some futurists predict will have a greater impact on the culture than the industrial revolution. So, in this essay we are going to look at the area of genetic engineering. The future of genetics, like that of any other technology, offers great promise but also great peril. Nuclear technology has provided nuclear medicine, nuclear energy, and nuclear weapons. Genetic technology offers the promise of a diverse array of good, questionable, and bad technological applications. Christians, therefore, must help shape the ethical foundations of this technology and its future applications. How powerful a technology is genetic engineering? For the first time in human history, it is possible to completely redesign existing organisms, including man, and to direct the genetic and reproductive constitution of every living thing. Scientists are no longer limited to breeding and cross-pollination. Powerful genetic tools allow us to change genetic structure at the microscopic level and bypass the normal processes of reproduction.

The Malaysian delegation criticised New Zealand for questioning the need for any rules on liability under the Cartagena Protocol would suffer loss from contamination from overseas, would be disadvantaged.

Links and Resources Join our Campaign to stop the release of GMO Taro! Click to find out more Welcome to the webpage of GMO - Free Hawaii. We are a coalition of grassroots citizen groups from each of the major Hawaiian islands who are working together to move Hawaiian agriculture away from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and towards truly sustainable agriculture. As of November 2002, there were 166 open-air field tests of genetically engineered crops being conducted over 8000 acres of land in the Hawaiian islands, more test sites and more acreage of experimental field trials than any other place in the world. We are concerned about the impact this experimental technology will have on our environment, our island economy, our local farmers and growers, and on the health of the people of our state. Genetic engineering affects us all, particularly those of us who live in the islands, and in order to responsibly guide the future of this technology we must be as educated as possible. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about genetic engineering in Hawaii, and we hope that you will join us in making Hawaii GMO Free.

120. Basic Principles Of Gene Cloning, Sequencing, Analysis of methods behind gene cloning, genetic engineering, DNA recombination and isolation, including discussion of restriction enzymes and ligase....... http://www.geocities.com:80/SiliconValley/5504/biochem.html

There are many steps in the process of genetic manipulation of DNA from cutting it to amplifying the recombinant molecule which has been produced. In order to isolate biochemically useful DNA the sequence should be as long as possible. The DNA must first be obtained from the required cells. If eukaryotic cells are being used this is a relatively simple process as they cells are surrounded by only a lipid membrane. Lipid is soluble in detergent and so adding detergent to eukaryotic cells will lyse them. A commonly used detergent is called sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). Enzymes such as nucleases, which lead to the degradation of genetic material also first, have to be inactivated and SDS does this too. The DNA obtained can be processed in slightly varying ways. If a high molecular weight is not required then adding a large concentration of ethanol, which is then centrifuged to form a pellet, can precipitate the DNA. The remaining ethanol is then removed by drying and the remaining pellet is re-dissolved in the required buffer. For situations where large DNA fragments are required, the DNA is not precipitated using alcohol, as the high pressures imparted by the centrifugation can lead to the molecules being sheared. 'Restriction endonucleases' or 'Restriction enzymes' are the backbone behind recombinant DNA technology. The power of these enzymes lies in their ability to cut DNA in to defined fragments at specific sequences of the genetic coding. Restriction enzymes originate from many different forms of bacteria. It had been noted that some forms of bacteriophage grew in forms of
