Extractions: Links to other SRT Pages Genetic engineering is an umbrella term which can cover a wide range of ways of changing the genetic material - the DNA code - in a living organism. This code contains all the information, stored in a long chain chemical molecule, which determines the nature of the organism - whether it is an amoeba, a pine tree, a robin, an octopus, a cow or a human being - and which characterises the particular individual. Apart from identical twins, your detailed genetic make-up is unique to you. Individual genes are particular sections of this chain, spaced out along it, which determine the characteristics and functions of our body. Defects of individual genes can cause a malfunction in the metabolism of the body, and are the roots of many "genetic" diseases. Return to Contents Genetic manipulation

Extractions: Engineering Genetic engineering is about scientists altering the 'recipes' for making life - the genes which you find in all living things. Doing this is very clever and could be very useful. But it all seems to be happening much too fast and nobody knows what the effects of making and eating such living things will be. Many kinds of life could be damaged. And suppose people eat 'genetic' food for many years? Will they be harmed by it? Nobody knows for sure. So why the rush? Scroll down to find out more...

S/R 20: Ethical Dangers Of Genetic Engineering
What will it be like in a future world where your life started with your parents designing your genes.
http://www.greens.org/s-r/20/20-01.html

Extractions: From the very first milk you suckle, your food is genetically engineered. The natural world is completely made over, invaded and distorted beyond recognition by genetically engineered trees, plants, animals, insects, bacteria, and viruses, both planned and run amok. Illnesses are very different too. Most of the old ones are gone or mutated into new forms, yet most people are suffering from genetically engineered pathogens, either used in biowarfare, or mistakenly released into the environment, or recombined in toxic form from originally harmless but rapidly mutating engineered organisms. Genetic engineering is so commonplace, you start your own simple experiments with it in elementary school. That future is a lot more plausible than you might think. How can it come about? Probably from a combination of misplaced, naïve altruism, the short-sighted quest for short-term corporate profit, power-domination, and just plain emotionally fueled vengeance. In the 1950s, the media were full of information about the great new scientific miracle that was going to make it possible to kill to all of the noxious insects in the world, wipe out insect-borne diseases and feed the world's starving masses. That was DDT. In the 1990s, the media are full of information about the coming wonders of genetic engineering. Everywhere are claims that genetic engineering will feed the starving, help eliminate disease, and so forth. The question is the price tag. As has been our experience with most technologies, such as DDT and nuclear energy, the promise of benefit in the short- term is overwhelmed by long-term disasters.

Extractions: A simple introduction This text is written so that even you who have forgotten much of what you may have learned about genetics will understand it. Therefore, the description is as simple as possible (some details of minor importance have been omitted or simplified). If you only want to rapidly get an idea of the great difference between mating and genetic engineering, see the "at a glance" illustration (elementary level) 1. The hereditary substance The hereditary substance, DNA is what is manipulated by Genetic Engineering, below called GE. DNA contains a complete set of information determining the structure and function of a living organism, be it a bacterium, a plant or a human being. DNA is a very long string of "code words", arranged in an orderly sequence. It contains the instructions for creating all the proteins in the body.

Extractions: Do you have a choice? Genetic engineering is the largest food experiment in the history of the world. We are all the guinea pigs. There are about 40 varieties of genetically engineered crop approved for marketing in the U.S. As a result, 60-70% of the foods on your grocery shelves contain genetically engineered (GE) components. Genetically engineered foods contain substances that have never been a part of the human food supply. They are not subjected to rigorous pre-market safety testing. And THEY ARE NOT LABELED. Is genetic engineering safe for you and your family? Safe for the environment? Safe for the future of mankind? No long-term studies have been done. No one can answer these questions.

What do people want? What is Genetic Engineering? Genetic engineering is a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms. DNA is the blueprint for the individuality of an organism. The organism relies upon the information stored in its DNA for the management of every biochemical process. The life, growth and unique features of the organism depend on its DNA. The segments of DNA which have been associated with specific features or functions of an organism are called genes Molecular biologists have discovered many enzymes which change the structure of DNA in living organisms. Some of these enzymes can cut and join strands of DNA. Using such enzymes, scientists learned to cut specific genes from DNA and to build customized DNA using these genes. They also learned about vectors , strands of DNA such as viruses, which can infect a cell and insert themselves into its DNA.

Extractions: Cat Cloning Is Proven Possible In February 2002 scientists announced that they had cloned the first domestic (house) cat. The formal announcement appears in the February 21st issue of the scientific journal Nature . Read articles on the cat cloning news including an interview with Lazaron President Richard Denniston in the March 11 cover story of and the February 19 issue of the Baton Rouge Advocate . Browse our web site to learn how you can participate in these developments. Visit our Cat Cloning Answers and pages to better understand this particular cloning success. Animal cloning and more particularly pet cloning (dogs, cats and horses) is likely to be affordable to many animal owners within the decade. If you want to clone a valued animal or take advantage of the many advances in genetic science not yet commercially available, You must have living cells from your animal properly preserved. By cryopreserving a small skin sample from your animal you will have the option to participate in such advances long after the animal has passed away. Learning about cryopreservation and cloning and selecting a gene bank should be fairly simple. We are one of a very few highly reputable gene banks who provide comparable services. However, Lazaron will not charge you extra for emergency, rush or deceased animal services. There is no reason to pay hundreds of dollars more to have your animals cells preserved.
