Download or read book God, Science, and Designer Genes written by Spencer S. Stober and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biologist and a Christian theologian examine the scientific and philosophical implications and potential impacts of genetic technologies. God, Science, and Designer Genes: An Exploration of Emerging Technologies provides a unique approach to the central ethical dilemma in contemporary science, offering both an up-to-date account of the current state of genetic technologies and insightful discussions of the moral/theological questions these technologies raise. Coauthored by professors of biology and theology, God, Science, and Designer Genes examines a range of from-the-headlines issues, including the relationship between science and religion, "designing" our children, stem-cell research, cloning, genetics and behavior, genetics and privacy, and using genetic technologies for social justice. Who should benefit—personally and financially—from DNA technology? Who might be harmed? How do we protect individual rights and guard against discrimination? How will embryo modification affect the identity of those so modified? God, Science, and Designer Genes gives readers an eloquent, thoughtful, and objective foundation for considering these and other questions about the potential conflict between scientific achievement, personal faith, and social responsibility.

Book Synopsis Murder in Designer Genes by : Nicole DuBois
Download or read book Murder in Designer Genes written by Nicole DuBois and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malibu, California. The sun has just come up and there is no fog along the beach. Suddenly all hell breaks loose. Retired Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Richard Greene's wife, Jenny, discovers the gruesome corpse of a man wedged between rocks at the foot of a cliff. There should have been blood, lots of it, because one of the man's legs is missing, severed just below the hip, the frayed edges of his jeans exposing a fresh stump. All identification, including fingerprints, has been removed, the only clue, a peculiar hand-embroidered design on the right-rear pocket of his jeans. Was it a revenge killing, a hate crime, the work of a satanic cult? Inspector Greene, in L.A. to deliver the keynote speech at the International Forensics Symposium, suspects the bizarre presentation is the work of ALOPEX, master of disguise, scourge of Scotland Yard, purposely designed to draw the Inspector into another deadly game of chess. When Alopexs's first taunting postcard arrives, the Inspector's worst suspicions are confirmed. Alopex's victims are always members of the medical profession who have through financial influence or membership in the "old boy's club," circumvented the judicial system, their patient's deaths never avenged. His latest victim, Dr. Louis Bronsib, a lustful egomaniac, covets a Nobel Prize at any price. In bed with organized crime, he ruthlessly tests an untried AIDS vaccine in Africa where he becomes Alopex's quarry. When the young son of a Greek shipping magnate dies after mistakenly receiving a bone-marrow transplant containing hyped AIDS-virus instead of Bronsib's "miracle designer genes," maliciously added by one of Bronsib's discarded lovers, Bronsib becomes the target of a mob-style hit while fishing in Capri. Taban, Alopex's partner in crime, accidentally overhears the plot to kill Bronsib.

Book Synopsis The Gene Machine by : Bonnie Rochman
Download or read book The Gene Machine written by Bonnie Rochman and published by Scientific American / Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sharp-eyed exploration of the promise and peril of having children in an age of genetic tests and interventions Is screening for disease in an embryo a humane form of family planning or a slippery slope toward eugenics? Should doctors tell you that your infant daughter is genetically predisposed to breast cancer? If tests revealed that your toddler has a genetic mutation whose significance isn’t clear, would you want to know? In The Gene Machine, the award-winning journalist Bonnie Rochman deftly explores these hot-button questions, guiding us through the new frontier of gene technology and how it is transforming medicine, bioethics, health care, and the factors that shape a family. Rochman tells the stories of scientists working to unlock the secrets of the human genome; genetic counselors and spiritual advisers guiding mothers and fathers through life-changing choices; and, of course, parents (including Rochman herself) grappling with revelations that are sometimes joyous, sometimes heartbreaking, but always profound. She navigates the dizzying and constantly expanding array of prenatal and postnatal tests, from carrier screening to genome sequencing, while considering how access to more tests is altering perceptions of disability and changing the conversation about what sort of life is worth living and who draws the line. Along the way, she highlights the most urgent ethical quandary: Is this technology a triumph of modern medicine or a Pandora’s box of possibilities? Propelled by human narratives and meticulously reported, The Gene Machine is both a scientific road map and a meditation on our power to shape the future. It is a book that gets to the very core of what it means to be human.

Book Synopsis Designer Genes by : Brian Stableford
Download or read book Designer Genes written by Brian Stableford and published by Borgo Press. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eleven stories in Designer Genes showcase the latest volume in this intriguing science fiction that explores intriguing future possibilities in biotechnology, ranging from stories of imminent technology reflecting issues that are already controversial, to stories that feature drastically altered worlds. Most of the stories are domestic dramas in which ordinary people are trying to get on with their everyday lives in circumstances that are altering in confusing ways by the year or by the day. Most of them have an element of comedy, because the human predicament is essentially comic, and most of them sound a powerful note of optimism, or at least of hope, because, the world being what it is, biotechnology is the one realistic source of optimism and hope that we have, if we are to come through the present ecocatastrophe relatively unscathed. Great, thought-provoking entertainment by a major SF writer!

This book presents a current assessment of this rapidly evolving field, offering principles for actions and research and recommendations on key issues in genetic testing and screening. Advantages of early genetic knowledge are balanced with issues associated with such knowledge: availability of treatment, privacy and discrimination, personal decision-making, public health objectives, cost, and more. Among the important issues covered: Quality control in genetic testing. Appropriate roles for public agencies, private health practitioners, and laboratories. Value-neutral education and counseling for persons considering testing. Use of test results in insurance, employment, and other settings.
