http://people.uncw.edu/tagliarinig/home.htm

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Think you're not eating genetically engineered food? Think again. Thousands of products on supermarket shelves are made with genetically modified organisms (GMOs).Companies that have fouled the planet with toxic chemicals are now manufacturing genetically modified food, which poses irreversible threats of biological pollution and a host of other risks. Get answers to frequently asked questions about GMOs U.S. wheat farmers - concerned that deregulation of Monsanto's genetically engineered Roundup Ready Wheat could bring economic, environmental and social damages - have filed a legal petition calling for immediate action by Anne Veneman, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary, and the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). One way to avoid gentically engineered food is to buy organic. But buying Certified Organic produce and products at your local supermarket can be both expensive and limiting, especially when they don't carry what you want or need. Fortunately, options are available and they're closer to you than you think!
Wired 8.04: Why The Future Doesn't Need Us.
Article on how technologies, including robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotech, are threatening to make humans an endangered species.
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy_pr.html

Extractions: 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.

Welcome To GEN
Why was the genetic engineering Network set up? genetic engineering is now a hottopic within campaigning circles throughout the UK and indeed worldwide.
http://www.dmac.co.uk/gen.html

Extractions: 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.

http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/john.rose/

Extractions: Updated: 12 October 99 * * * The biggest experiment in human history has begun, with us as the guinea pigs and the planets ecological system as the test site. The genetech industry wants it all kept quiet, as they push products onto the market with unprecedented speed to create a 'fait accompli' from which we can never return. Consumer opinion has been ignored and consumers have been treated with contempt, as if they were irrelevant. There will be no open discussion about it, they are arrogantly determined to push this technology on us whether we want it or not. Why? Because they see $billions in short term profits. What else? We want independent research whose starting point is the problems to be solved, NOT a technology to sell. * * * The industry prefers the term 'biotechnology' to 'genetic engineering', because it sounds friendly and technically sophisticated and of course leaves out the word genetic! The reality is that in the rush to cash in on the products, it's grossly under-researched. The scientific basis of genetic engineering is still little understood and relies on lengthy hit-and-miss tests to get results. * * * Does this technology just speed up the traditional methods of developing new varieties by exchanging genes between similar species? No, this is a whole new ball game, cutting out genes and splicing in new genes from totally unrelated species. Scientists are giving birth to their bizarre creations as I write, transferring genes from fish to tomato, human to pig, scorpion to potato, and just about any other unsavoury combination you can imagine.

Ethics And Genetic Engineering
A Response to the Department of the Environment's Consultation Paper Genetically Modified Organisms and the Environment
http://www.voice.buz.org/genetic_engineering/ethicsandge.html

Extractions: Ethics and Genetic Engineering A Response to the Department of the Environment's Consultation Paper - Genetically Modified Organisms and the Environment on behalf of VOICE (Voice Of Irish Concern for the Environment) Contents Introduction Introduction In January 1998 the Minister for the Environment promised that his department would shortly publish a consultation paper on genetic engineering. The document entitled Genetically Modified Organisms and the Environment finally appeared in August 1998. It purports to be an objective, even-handed document, explaining what genetic engineering is and outlining the national and European Union regulations governing the release of genetically engineered organisms or the sale of genetically engineered food. However, as many in the NGO (non-governmental organisation) community feared when the "consultation" process was announced the document is heavily weighted in favour of the biotech industry's point of view. They have defined the debate in their terms and therefore it is very difficult for those who come from a very different perspective to engage in a genuine debate at this point. The fears and anxieties which have arisen as a result of the biotechnology revolution were accurately captured in a joint statement by Minister Dempsey and his colleague, Joe Walsh T.D., present Minister for Agriculture while in opposition on April 26th, 1997. They argued that "it is premature to release genetically modified organisms into the environment or to market food which contain any genetically modified ingredient..." The reason for such a stand was very simple "Fianna Fail will not support what amounts to the largest nutritional experiment in human history with the consumer as guinea pig".

Bibliography 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.
