Genetic Engineering

What are some of the adverse effects and concerns of Genetic Engineering, in regards to plant, animal, and human life? And what are the concerns regarding nanotechnology?

Despite all the talk about genetic engineering, I have yet to see meaningful improvements to livestock, which is too bad because I can think of several non-existent farm animals I would like to see.

Advances in technology have isolated the human genome, offered medical breakthroughs through cloning and genetically modified bacteria, but are we as humans biting off more than we can chew?

Genetic Engineering involves manipulation of material that has such wide diversity, which is yet not fully covered or even understood by the scientists

Imagine a world with no diseases or starvation, a world where superhuman abilities are possible. Genetic engineering is the closest possible way of attaining such an environment. I say genetic engineering is acceptable, and so does history.

This is a review of the book Shrinking the Cat: Genetic Engineering Before We Knew About Genes, written by Sue Hubbell.

This is a research paper on DNA and genetic engineering. Focusing on the pros and cons as well as a brief explanation explaining DNA and genes.

Here is a review of the potential drawbacks to genetic engineering in humans.

Genetic Engineering has come a long way in helping mankind, mostly in the medical field. But the lesser known fact is that Genetic Engineering has been helping the farming community to improve the quality of their produce to a certain extent.

This article provides an indepth look at the risks and rewards of the burgeoning science of genetic engineering.

A college philosophy paper in support of genetic engineering of human beings.

The scary possible outcomes of genetic engineering.

Genetic science has come a long way. However, has it gone too far?

A proposal to spread awareness about genetic engineering.

Genetic engineering is bio-technology. It means the generating or developing of a new organism by a change in a gene, known as gene mutation, causing a stable variation. Genes are the chemical blueprints that determine an organism's traits

The development of the double-helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 was and is one of the most important scientific discoveries of our time.

This piece briefly discusses the argument for theoretical genetic engineering that would only involve manipulation of disease causing alleles on the genome.

A wondrous scientific achievement? Or an abomination?

There seems to be no simple solution to the controversy surrounding genetic engineering. It has undoubtedly done some good for farmers and for people with hereditary ailments. But does it run the risk of introducing new problems to replace the ones that it solves?

Genetic Engineering has developed a bad name over the years for no reason. Discover the myths behind the name, and understand that these techniques are not new, and are infact quite safe.

"Singing mouse" produced by chance by Japanese researchers, now hoping to get some clues about the evolution of human language.

This piece puts a new twist to the creation theory

Today, we have the technology available to take a piece of DNA and copy it a thousand times. We also have the ability to inject it into bacteria, plants, or animals to meet our consumer and medical needs. What are these methods? How does it all work?

Look who's coming to dinner: an extremely bright colored banana, a seedless orange and vitamin A rice. Is that normal?

With the evolution of technology, we have become a species driven towards perfection. However, with the development of newer, potentially dangerous technology, we must ask ourselves about the future: Where should the line be drawn?

Embrace the future with all six arms.

Not a few people still look at genetically-modified crops with much concern, particularly on the issue of safety. They contend that the safeguards currently in place are not sufficiently strong to protect the consumers.

Herein is the basic case set forth by proponents of genetic engineering, to improve foods' nutritional value and provide for the hungry.
