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

HEDWEB HI Abstract HI Table of Contents The Hedonistic Imperative 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.

Genetic engineering From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. 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

65. About Loka Begun in 1987, enables information and organizing about worldwide concerns with science, technology and society. genetic engineering by corporations, for example, has been a focus here. http://www.loka.org/pages/lokainfo.htm

A bout L oka "Loka" is derived from the ancient Sanskrit word, lokasamgraha , which means: unity of the world, interconnectedness of society, and the duty to perform action for the benefit of the world. Founded in 1987, the Loka Institute is a non-profit [501(c)(3)] research and advocacy organization concerned with the social, political, and environmental repercussions of science and technology. Loka works to make science and technology more responsive to social and environmental concerns by expanding opportunities for grassroots, public-interest group, everyday citizen, and worker involvement in vital facets of science and technology decision making. The Loka Institute is pleased to announce that we have moved our office to Washington, D.C. The International Center for Technology Assessment has kindly offered us free space for the next year at their own suite of offices, just blocks from the U.S. Capitol. The ICTA is known for its unusually thoughtful analyses of the human and ecological impacts of technology. Our thanks to Andrew Kimbrell and his associates at the center for their generous support for our work. We look forward to bringing Loka's message about the democratic wisdom of community-based research and community-based technology to the nation's capital. We also gratefully acknowledge Hampshire College for its years of generosity in contributing space for our old office in Amherst, MA.

This article originally appeared in the April 1995 FDA Consumer and contains revisions made in February 1998. The article is no longer being updated. For the most recent information on this topic, go to the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition's Biotechnology Web page. Genetic Engineering 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.

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.

Genetic Engineering The Uncover of the Pyramid 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 Montpelier’s 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.
