Dr. Bernard D. Davis, professor of bacterial physiology at Harvard medical school in Cambridge, stated “that after twenty years of expanding experience with biotechnology with no detectable harm to humans or to the environment, this concern has turned into a good idea” qtd. In Bender and Leon 23. Genetic engineering is defined as the scientific…

Genetic Engineering Rash development of genetic engineering and researches of stem cells are nowadays one of the most interesting, the most promising and contradictive area of discussions and actually medical researches.  Many researchers agree that development of genetic engineering would open new doors before medicine and would re-shape scientific approaches and theories, though severe limitations…

Healthy relationships help us grow toward balance and enlightenment. A relationship with another person is a sacred privilege to be appreciated and enjoyed. Like a garden, relationships need to be cultivated; those who nourish and respect significant others gain flowering results. As Relationship Coach, Ed Shea says, “We are born in relationship. . . we’re…

He loses millions of crops each year due to environmental factors. One of his friends has recently started using a different kind of crop that has helped him…

Targeted genomic editing using custom nucleases is a general method for inducing precise deletions, insertions, and sequence changes in a wide range of organisms and cell types. For many years, strategies to efficiently induce specific and targeted genome alterations were limited to certain organisms (yeast homologous recombination or mouse recombination) and often required drug-selectable markers…

Prenatal genetic testing involves the analysis of DNA, RNA and chromosomes to be able to identify if there is a predisposition towards a genetic disorder, ascertain the possibility of carrying disease, and to project early on how best to take care of the child given these mitigating health circumstances. While it does not identify the…

Question 3: If Blatchford’s deterministic view is correct, does it follows that it is pointless to punish (or praise) people for what they do? Can you think of any justification for punishment that is compatible with hard determinism? Blatchford’s deterministic view presents another method or perspective of reviewing the responsibility of human behaviors. It focused…
