Function of Religious Capital in the Acceptance of Genetic Engineering
Religions and religious schools have always been one of the main and fundamental factors in the creation and development of civilizations or their destruction. With the establishment of a religious government in Iran; based on the values of the Islamic Revolution, more attention was paid for science and technology. Iran is now praised for its continued growth in scientific publications during t...
متن کاملEvolutionary Genetic Engineering in the Indo-Pacific: Conservation, Humanitarian, and Social Issues
The Indo-Pacific region contains a unique mix of opportunities for the development and use of genetic-pest-management, gene-drive, and gene-drive-like technologies. Here I collectively refer to these technologies as Evolutionary Genetic Engineering (EGE). Indo-Pacific Islands have some of the world's highest rates of endemism and extinction---species and entire ecosystems are at risk. This thre...
متن کاملConservation and sustainable exploitation of plant genetic rsources: International developments
Plant Genetic Resources (PGRs) are one of the most valuable natural resources of anycountry. Biotechnology through genetic engineering of plants and the creation of new plantvarieties can increase the value of these resources. Different technical and legalmechanisms such as ex situ/in situ collection of PGRs, and Intellectual Property Rights(IPRs...
متن کاملConservation and non-conservation of genetic pathways in eye specification.
In this review we highlight two genetic pathways important for eye morphogenesis that are partially conserved between flies and vertebrates. Initially we focus on the ey paradigm and establish which aspects of this genetic hierarchy are conserved in vertebrates. We discuss experiments that evaluate the non-linear relationship amongst the genes of the hierarchy with a concentration on vertebrate...
متن کاملEthics in Genetic Engineering
A relatively new and controversial science has been causing waves in today’s society. This science is called genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is the manipulation of a gene or strain of DNA by using bioengineering. Animals or bacteria that undergo genetic engineering are called genetically modified organisms. Recently, genetic engineering has been expanded to humans. More specifically in...
