First, The Science - What is Biotechnology and Genetics?
Genetic Engineering is the heritable, directed alteration of an organism. A heritable alteration is a change that can be carried from one generation to the next. Genetic engineering is performed by modifying an organism's own DNA or introducing new DNA to perform desired functions. Biotechnology is a broader term than genetic engineering and includes non-genetic techniques to modify organisms. Genetic engineering is the most powerful and least understood tool for biotechnology.. Many of the same principles used in genetic engineering are involved in biotechnology Genetic Engineering involves DNA modifications. DNA is the genetic material in all known forms of life. DNA contains genes (just as a recipe book contains recipes) that give us many of our physical characteristics. However, we are not simply gene-based machines - the environment we are in also determines our traits. One of the challenges of genetic engineering is to determine how genes influence our traits and how to modify DNA to alter these traits. Genes affecting disorders such as alcoholism provide only a predisposition. Having the gene for alcoholism may make one more prone to alcoholism but does not guarantee that one will become alcoholic, nor does not having the gene mean one is immune.

    Introductions
    Julie Hill welcomed the members of the Engineering Genesis Working Group of the Society, Religion and Technology Project (SRT) of the Church of Scotland for an informal discussion.  She outlined the origin of the AEBC and described the horizon scanning group’s work, which was one of the three major work-streams for the Commission within its strategic overview of biotechnology for agriculture and the environment.  The group aimed to publish a paper by the end of 2001.  The AEBC group welcomed the opportunity for discussions with the Church of Scotland group, which had the benefit of considerable experience.   AEBC would particularly welcome input on particular aspects to keep in mind during its work. Donald Bruce described the work of the Church of Scotland SRT Project since its establishment in 1970, using slides which are attached as an annex to this note.  The Engineering Genesis working group was set up in December 1993 to study the ethical and social implications of genetic engineering in animals, plants and micro-organisms, which were seen as an important emerging issue in technology.

It includes interviews (audio) with keynote and other speakers, abstracts and viewpoints on conference sessions, and good links to other pages. In viewpoints there is one editorial, "Food and Culture of Biotechnology" that equates biotechnology with death. In the interviews there is discussion of intellectual property, the benefits for developing countries, and how to guide biotechnology and policy development. www.biotech-info.net/gordon_conway.html
    This is a transcript of a speech by Gordon Conway, "The Rockefeller Foundation and Plant Biotechnology." It addresses the backlash against plant biotechnology, how development in third world countries is poorly equipped for rapid change, the 'terminator technology,' food security in a globalized world, actions to improve research and development in developing countries, and devising a new way to talk about biotechnology. www.usda.gov/news/releases/1999/07/0285
