- 111: Brave New World Summary
- ... world, Bokanovsky's budding process and Podsnap's ripening technique can produce over 15,000 brothers and sisters from a single ovary. You may know this idea from the word "cloning," used in science fiction and to describe look-alike clothing styles. Identical clones will make a stable community, the Director says, one without conflict. In the world of Bokanovsky and ...
- 112: The Environmental Impact of Eating Beef and Dairy Products
- ... their limits, recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), a genetically engineered drug injected into dairy cows to increase milk production, has been approved for use by American dairy farmers. Embryo transfer, cloning, the creation of transgenic cows, and the engineering of cows to secrete pharmaceuticals and other substances in their milk are also under way. Another practice growing in popularity is tail ...
- 113: Gene Therapy 2
- ... genetic defect and restore chloride channel function. It is hoped that successful gene therapy will be a feasible and cost-efficient approach that will lead to a cure. Following the cloning of the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene, in vitro studies rapidly established the feasibility of gene therapy for this disease. Unlike ex vivo approaches that have been utilized for other genetic ...
- 114: DNA: The Thread of Life
- ... 3 billion dollar project underway right now called the Human Genome Project, a 15 year program to make a detailed map of every single gene in human DNA. With automated cloning equipment to steer scientists through the DNA, scientists are finding human genes at the rate of more than one a day. This may not sound like very much but as ...
- 115: Genetic Engineering
- ... be imagined, it took a great deal of sheep to sustain one person. After the discovery of DNA, geneticists used gene splicing to develop a bacterium to produce insulin. By cloning the human gene for insulin and inserting it into bacteria known as E. coli, the scientists created bacteria that produced insulin and when the bacteria reproduced, they reproduced the human ...
