Human Cloning: A technology that replaces Humanity
... of the plant or animal that the clone was made from. Genes are like a set of instructions that reside in the human or animal's cells. These instructions tell the cell what to do (DuPrau, 1999 p. 6). Genes determine characteristics such as hair color, eye color ...
Stem Cell Research
... embryo stem cell research. Fifty-eight senators, almost all Democrats, sent a letter to President Bush, urging the same action. A federal bill passed the House on 2005-MAY-24 to allow government funded research on embryonic stem cells extracted from surplus embryos in fertility clinics ...
Stem Cell Research
... of ethics demonstrated by such research. Stem cells have proven to have an endless possibility for medical advancement, however, at the same time, the method by which stem cells are derived (particularly embryonic), remains a morally divisive issue. The progress in stem cell ...
Biotechnology - Anabolic Steroids
... of anabolic steroids that have been developed, but only a limited number have been approved for human or veterinary use, and each of them require a prescription in order to be used medically in the United States. Many of ...
Biomedical Technology
... researchers in the field of synthetic biology, that has assembled genes into a network designed to force cells to do what their programmers want (Gravitz). This technology along with bacteria can advance biosensing, which uses are detecting land-mined or biological weapons. Add human cells ...
Stem Cell Research
... stem cell lines. The research of stem cells, particularly involving embryos and embryonic stem cells, has created a widespread controversy and a major issue in political debates. This is because starting a stem cell line requires the destruction of an embryo and/or the use of therapeutic cloning ...
Viral Engineering.
... DNA product the scientists added transcriptase to the mix along with the RNA bases and the lo and behold the RNA was formed. The scientists then created a "juice" for the RNA to create a virus within. This "juice" consisted of shredded up human cells ...
Regulating Risks For Genetic Engineering
... of recombinant DNA experiments. Meaning, it was the scientists themselves who evaluated the risks first. As a result of the concern for regulation of research, national guidelines for DNA experimental work were written in 1975 and adopted by the National Institute of Health ...
