http://members.tripod.com/c_rader0/gemod.htm

Extractions: Charles M. Rader This report is about two closely related subjects. One subject is the considerations for and against genetic engineering of our food. Although I will freely admit to a bias in favor of engineering, I have tried very hard to make this part of the report neutral and objective. The other topic is more important. Genetic engineering gets to the very core of how life works and people are inclined to have very strong feelings about it. Because the public knows so very little about science, some opponents of transgenic agriculture have been able to spread misinformation and manipulate public opinion. As Donna Shalala told a group of scientists, speaking about genetic engineering, ``My concern is if we don't have a broadly educated public ... that charlatans out there will be able to play on public fears.'' Exactly that has happened. Almost everything the general public has been told about genetic engineering of food has originated in the deceptive presentations by skilled propagandists, many dishonest. Although the science behind genetic engineering is very complex, it is not so difficult for laymen to make reasonable choices with only very basic information.

The last four years of the twentieth century witnessed the most rapid adoption of a new technology in history. Since 1996, millions of acres of farmland have been planted with genetically engineered (GE) cropsmainly corn, soybeans, and cotton. This means that genetically engineered organisms (GEOs) are being released to the environment on a massive scale, an event unprecedented in the 3.8 billion year history of life on this planet. This technological upheaval happened virtually without public debate, while our government played the role of enthusiastic promoter, rather than cautious regulator, of this radically new and environmentally hazardous technology.

Extractions: Industrial Property Rights in the Context of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology print version introduction benefits and risks of genetic engineering and biotechnology the ethical analysis: ambivalence of technological progress Genetic engineering and biotechnology are considered to be amongst the most powerful and economically promising technological means for use in many areas. To discuss "Ethical and Ecological Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights in the Context of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology" in a meaningful way is as impossible as to analyze the benefits and risks of genetic engineering and biotechnology in general. One would have to make reference to health, agricultural and industrial as well as environmental problems, look at things from a biological, economic and social as well as cultural point of view and, last but not least, discuss every issue involved in the context of industrialized and developing countries and against background of disparate value premises. Each one of these different aspects raises highly controversial issues for the discussion of which one would have to organize whole seminars - and still depart with divergent views. Even a discussion limited to one particular aspect, e.g. the
Paradise-engineering : The Hedonistic Imperative
Outlines how nanotechnology and genetic engineering will eradicate aversive experience in all sentient life and why this is both instrumentally rational and ethically mandatory.
http://www.hedweb.com/welcome.htm

Extractions: 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 ethically mandatory. 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. 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 urban-industrial nations take its routine absence for granted. The prospect that what we describe as psychological pain, too, could be banished is equally counter-intuitive. The feasibility of its abolition turns its deliberate retention into an issue of social policy and ethical choice.

Extractions: There might be more water on the moon than previously thought... up to five times as much. If correct, this finding would support any attempts by humans to colonize the place. Researchers from the University of Hawaii re-estimated the area of permanently shadowed craters, and found that nearly 1400 more kilometers of the moon's South Pole and almost 5000 more kilometers of the North Pole are in permanent shadow than was previously thought. This gives plenty more room for ice to exist. Read more here Pictures taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of a fantastic burst of light from a star known as V838 Monocerotis are now available on the internet for viewing. Last year the star became nearly 10,000 times brighter than normal. The light is now racing outward away from the star through layers of dust and debris that were created during various stages of the star's life-cycle. Hubble's pictures reveal amazing details of the so-called "light echoes" created by V838. Read more here , and view pictures here Curiously enough, the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991 was beneficial to the photosynthesis of plants. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee studied the gas exchange occurring over a forest in Massachusetts for several years following the eruption. They found that in 1992 when the most particulate matter remained in the atmosphere, plants exchanged significantly more CO2 for O2 than in later years. Photosynthesis was increased. The researchers believe that the particulate matter released into the atmosphere by Pinatubo increased the amount of light being reflected within the atmosphere and decreased the amount of direct light. Reflected light creates fewer shadows, and in doing so increases the amount of leaf area that is able to be involved in the photosynthetic process. As a result the year following Mt. Pinatubo's eruption saw a decrease in the rate of atmospheric CO2 accumulation (that's a good thing!). Read more

Jeremy Rifkin applies for patent on human gene scrambling to prevent anyone doing it for 20 years! Category Society Issues Biotechnology Genetics Activismgenetic engineering.
http://www.linkny.com/~civitas/page58.html

Extractions: This is was shocking news for anyone who has heard or read the executive director of the Foundation for Economic Trends describe the dangers inherent in transplanting genes from one species to another. It turns out, however, that the purpose of making the application was to keep gung-ho gene jugglers from grabbing the ball and running with it before they know in which direction the goalposts lie. Rifkin and Stewart Newman, a cellular biologist at New York Medical College, at Valhalla, made their joint application for a patent covering the mixing of human cells with those of other animals to create a new creature in order to create a breathing space during which the advisability of interspecies gene scrambling could receive the careful consideration its far-reaching effects warrant. "We have announced this patent will be maintained as a genetic conservancy. We will keep it on hold for 20 years, so every government has time to have thoughtful debate," Rifkin told a Vancouver Sun reporter. "A new species, part human, part animaldo we want to take this next step, or do we want to step back and say this is morally wrong?"

Extractions: Genetic Engineering 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;
