By resorting to therapeutic cloning the doctors will be able to replace damaged tissues and organs in the human body, and treat various diseases and disorders with ease, The practice of waiting for a donor to obtain the desired organ would come to a halt as the required organ can be generated at will. Cloning would also allow infertile couples to have their own genetic offspring or otherwise normal couples
No two people are the same and their reaction to medication differs. The reason for this is found in the genome of an organism. Knowing the differences will play a key role in a person’s health. Personalized medicine has some potential benefits. If scientists can discover what role your genes play in how you will react to drugs, then they can provide you the best medication for you earlier in the process.
1-2-09 Glowing Bacteria Genes are pieces of DNA which hold the instructions for making proteins. The protein will then give an organism a particular trait. Genetic transformation means changes caused by genes, and requires the insertion of a gene into an organism, in order to change the trait. this technique is used by in many areas of biotechnology. Agriculturally, plants can be genetically transformed to be resistant to pesticides, spoilage, and frost.
Biological Theories of Aging Many scientists and researchers are trying to better understand the human aging process in the aspect of physical changes, certain diseases and lifespan in relation to other species. Currently, within the scientific field, hypotheses called biological theories of aging have been created to better understand the aging process. These biological theories; random damage theories of aging, programmed aging theories and extending the maximum lifespan have assisted in explaining the phenomenon of normal process of aging and the pathological process of aging. There are two random damage theories of aging currently being used within the medical and scientific field to better understand aging and death. The first random damage theory of aging is called DNA Damage.
Designer Babies What is a designer baby you may ask? It is defined as a baby whose genetic makeup has been artificially selected by genetic engineering combined with in vitro fertilization to ensure the presence or absence of particular genes or characteristics. Through gene therapy, designer babies are created. Gene therapy is the insertion of genes into a person's cells. Successful therapy causes the inserted genes to become part of the cell's genome, and give the cell a new or different characteristic.
Hybridization- crossing different traits to bring the best of organisms into one. For example crossing disease resistance of one plant with the food-producing capacity of another to produce a superior plant. 3)Cloning is the process of taking a single cell from an adult organism to recreate another genetically identical organism. 4)DNA fingerprinting is developed by molecular biology; it analyzes unique sections made up of a variety of DNA band. DNA fingerprinting is a powerful and crucial tool that can determine a person’s identity.
This article is a compares and contrast between Embryonic Stem cells and Adult Stem cells. It tells some good difference between those two but it also has some bad effects too. The article has some good graphs and statistics that I can use.. This article really shows us the break through that scientists did to cure many
Cloning is the replication of an exact genetic copy of an organism by use of a cell from the donor organism. Cloning can be used in humans, human organs, or even animals. There are many advantages and disadvantages of cloning. Doctors can take healthy cells and tissue from a patient’s body and use them to make organs. With continued research in cloning procedures, scientists predict they will be able to find a cure for cancer by learning how to switch cells on and off.
Discovery is different than invention in that with discovery we finally see for the first time things that were already in existence (Henslin, 2013, pg. 464). A great example would be DNA. We are all created with our own specific DNA, so discovering this, brought forward so many new uses like being able to identify a criminal bases on evidence left at the scene of the crime. The current and future use of a microchip in a computer, demonstrates how we are embarking into biotechnology.
The biomedical model also suggests that treatment is to change the physical state of the body and that only the medical profession can treat the sufferer. There are various methods that can be used to to meet the fluctuating needs of the individual with dementia: A reality orientation approach, which is a program designed to improve cognitive and psychomotor function in persons who are confused or disoriented. It is often employed in long-term facilities to create an environment in which perceptions of the environment in relation to the external world are directed toward the reality of that world. Aids such as calendars and clocks and sensory stimuli such as distinctive sights, sounds, and smells are used to improve sensory awareness. The expected outcome of such programs for severely impaired persons is improvement in intellect and
