Genetic Engineering, history and future
Altering the Face of Science
Science is a creature that continues to evolve at a much higher rate than the beings
that
gave it birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the
time
from analytical engine, to calculator, to computer. But science, in the past, has always
remained
distant. It has allowed for advances in production, transportation, and even entertainment,
but
never in history will science be able to so deeply affect our lives as genetic engineering will
undoubtedly do. With the birth of this new technology, scientific extremists and anti-
technologists
have risen in arms to block its budding future. Spreading fear by misinterpretation
of facts, they promote their hidden agendas in the halls of the United States congress.
Genetic Manipulation
Genetic Engineering (song)
English: recombinant DNAGenetic
engineering is a safe and powerful tool that will yield unprecedented results, specifically in
the
field of medicine. It will usher in a world where gene defects, bacterial disease, and even
aging
are a thing of the past. By understanding genetic engineering and its history, discovering its
possibilities, and answering the moral and safety questions it brings forth, the blanket of
fear
covering this remarkable technical miracle can be lifted.
The first step to understanding genetic engineering, and embracing its possibilities
for
society, is to obtain a rough knowledge base of its history and method. The basis for
altering the
evolutionary process is dependant on the understanding of how individuals pass on
characteristics to their offspring. Genetics achieved its first foothold on the secrets of
nature's
evolutionary process when an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel developed the first
'laws of
heredity.' Using these laws, scientists studied...
