Paradise-engineering : The Hedonistic Imperative
Outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life.
http://www.hedweb.com/

Extractions: The Hedonistic Imperative outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life. The abolitionist project is hugely ambitious but technically feasible. It is also instrumentally rational and morally urgent. The metabolic pathways of pain and malaise evolved because they served the fitness of our genes in the ancestral environment. They will be replaced by a different sort of neural architecture. States of sublime well-being are destined to become the genetically pre-programmed norm of mental health. It is predicted that the world's last unpleasant experience will be a precisely dateable event. Two hundred years ago, powerful synthetic pain-killers and surgical anesthetics were unknown. The notion that physical pain could be banished from most people's lives would have seemed absurd. Today most of us in the technically advanced nations take its routine absence for granted. The prospect that what we describe as psychological pain, too, could ever be banished is equally counter-intuitive. The feasibility of its abolition turns its deliberate retention into an issue of social policy and ethical choice.

Extractions: Genetic engineering genetic modification GM ), and gene splicing (once in widespread use but now deprecated) are terms for the process of manipulating genes in an organism, usually outside of the organism's normal reproductive process. It often involves the isolation, manipulation and reintroduction of DNA into model organisms , usually to express a protein . The aim is introduce new genetic characteristics to an organism to increase its usefulness such as, increasing the yield of a crop species, introducing a novel characteristic, or producing a new protein or enzyme. Examples are the production of human insulin through the use of modified bacteria and the production of new types of mice like the OncoMouse , (cancer mouse) for research, through genetic redesign. Since a protein is specified by a DNA segment or gene , future copies of that protein can be modified by changing the gene's underlying DNA. One way to do this is to isolate the DNA, cut it, and splice in a different DNA segment. Daniel Nathans and Hamilton Smith received the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their isolation of restriction endonucleases , which are able to cut DNA at specific sites. Together with

Extractions: Fast Forwarding To Future Foods by John Henkel Take a peek into the supermarket of the near future. At first glance, products on display won't seem much different from those you are used to. Cucumbers. Peppers. Corn. They'll still be there. But amid all the produce and other kitchen staples, you're apt to find new versions of familiar foodsones that are custom "built" to improve quality or remove unwanted traits. Insect-resistant apples, long-lasting raspberries, and potatoes that absorb less fat are among the more than 50 plant products under study now that are likely to reside soon on grocers' shelves. These commodities will arrive courtesy of genetic engineering, a process that allows plant breeders to modify the genetic makeup of a plant species precisely and predictably, creating improved varieties faster and easier than can be done using more traditional plant-breeding techniques. Genetic engineering already is improving lives in areas such as disease diagnostics and treatments, but at the moment it is a fledgling economic force in the commercial food business. Though genetic engineering promises better and more plentiful products, genetically engineered foods may encounter a few obstacles to widespread public acceptance. Some consumers, along with a few advocacy groups, have voiced concern about the safety and environmental impact of these new food products. Some urge an outright ban on any genetically engineered foods. Others support mandatory labeling that discloses the use of genetic engineering. Still others advocate more stringent testing of these products before marketing.

Extractions: Trends Analysis by Dr Patrick Dixon Futurist Recent Video / Articles by Dr Patrick Dixon 5.5 million hits in 12 months 4 million visitors on this site What is Genetic Engineering? Genetic engineering is the alteration of genetic code by artificial means, and is therefore different from traditional selective breeding. Genetic engineering examples include taking the gene that programs poison in the tail of a scorpion, and combining it with a cabbage. These genetically modified cabbages kill caterpillers because they have learned to grow scorpion poison (insecticide) in their sap. Genetic engineering also includes insertion of human genes into sheep so that they secrete alpha-1 antitrypsin in their milk - a useful substance in treating some cases of lung disease. Genetic engineering has created a chicken with four legs and no wings.

Extractions: You are here: Home Environmental Issues » Genetically Engineered Food by Anup Shah An issue that has entered the mainstream media in a lot of countries (noticeably not really in the US) is Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM) of food. A lot of food that we eat today contains genetically modified ingredients and usually without our knowledge. Supporters of this technology maintain that it ensures and sustains food security around the world as the population increases. As time goes on, the science behind genetic engineering is no doubt improving. Biotechnology could be the wave of the future and genetically modified foods could really provide alternatives to help increase food production. However, there is a growing wave of concern from citizens, farmers and scientists who question the

Genetic Engineering: Defining Our Children's Traits

http://www.jpreason.com/science/gene.htm

Extractions: Genetic Engineering Since Mendel's experiences and the discovery of the DNA as the genetic material, we started to know how and why we are like we are we; started to understand more about how our bodies work. Our genes are like the computer program running in us; we are what our genes code us to be. The first big success for genetic engineer (GE) was the production of insulin by genetically modified bacteria. It showed the medical, economical, and industrial possibilities of this technology. Like a pyramid buried in the sands of the desert, the possibilities and uses of GE were being uncovered. Thanks to refined techniques in molecular genetics and recombinant DNA techniques, its uses soon started to be employed in a vast array of areas: Medicine: in the diagnostic of diseases, understanding how diseases occur, and discovering how to fight them; Pharmaceuticals: producing monoclonal antibodies, antibiotics, vaccines, interferon, and many other proteins with pharmaceutical value; Environmental applications: bioremediation by creating and optimizing bacteria capable of degrading xenobiotics;

Over fifty farms donated time or food to make this event a success. Food was prepared by staff and students at Montpeliers New England Culinary Institute. Farmers are speaking out in support of policies that would eliminate the threat of contamination from GE crops. "We want to see the state take a strong lead in establishing policies and laws which protect organic and non-GMO farms. The Vermont image of pure foods would be destroyed by GE contmination and I would be off my farm," said Judy Clark, an organic dairy farmer from Hyde Park, Vermont. At 11am, a group of colorfully dressed citizens sang and juggled their way through the State House, calling upon legislators and staff to come out to the event (see video The event was organized by the Vermont Genetic Engineering Action Network, with support from the Institute for Social Ecology Biotechnology Project and other statewide groups.

Extractions: "There are many techniques, or tools, that are available to the scientist allowing her to conduct her cloning experiment. Just as you would use some different tools to build a table than when you want to fix a car, the scientist will choose the tools that make the most sense for what she wants to achieve. "Let's look at some of the tools that scientists can use. "One of the most basic tools, and the first to be used, is what scientists call 'molecular scissors'. These are a whole bunch of enzymes which are naturally made by various bacteria. Each one will cut a DNA strand at a specific nucleotide sequence. You can think of it as smart scissors that recognize a certain string of letters and snips every time it sees that string. Let's make our own smart scissors and see what happens to the sentence: MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB "First, let's make smart scissors that cut on the left side of the letter A.
