Genetics, Neuroscience, and Biotechnology
Neuroscience, and Biotechnology Three areas of biomedicine pose dramatic dilemmas for bioethics. While medical ethicists will continue to grapple with the issues posed by the unrelenting problems of treating AIDS and cancer patients, new developments in genetics, neurobiology, and biotechnology will generate novel ethical questions. In genetics, the Human Genome Project will generate new data about the biological underpinnings of human attributes…

The Limits of Genetic Inquiry
Within the next few years scientists will almost certainly have pieced together a broad map of the major gene locations on the twenty-three human chromosomes. The rapid unfolding of this new knowledge raises new questions: What limits, if any, should be imposed on its acquisition? Who should control the wealth of resulting data? How should it be used? If, because of a deep-seated need for certitude, many persons are likely to perceive a positive …
Ethical Issues and Premature Application of Gene Therapy
Professors Stanley Robin and Gerald Markle ably describe the sociological factors at work in Dr. Martin Cline's foray into gene therapy during the mid-1970s. Much of what transpired can be understood in terms of the dialectical tensions between clinicians and researchers. But there is a second tier of questions raised by Cline's conduct, questions which transcend the issues of simple improprieties and possible illegalities of his actions
The Rewards and Risks of Studying Genes
format-a book that gives the reader a taste of scientific background, a dollop of recent history, and a healthy dose of ominous prediction about the horrid things that might happen and the important opportunities that might be missed unless we regulate, or restrict, or redirect genetic engineering and the self-interested entrepreneurs who control it. More recently a spate of books in the Gee Whiz format has joined the list. Like the Greed and Glo…

Humanizing the Genetic Enterprise
Ethics at the Center of Life
In this paper the feedback stabilisation of a boiling-based cooling scheme is discussed. Application of\nsuch cooling schemes in practical setups is greatly limited by the formation of a thermally insulating\nvapour film on the to-be-cooled device, called burn-out. In this study a first step is made, to check\nthe viability of such cooling systems, already used in high performance electronics, applied to Electric\nVehicles (EVs). It can be used f…

Risk-Taking for the Unborn
I by MARC LAPPE n the summer of 1959 I worked in the laboratory of embryologist Meredith Runner, then at the Jackson Laboratory in Maine. My supervisor was Dr. Alan Gates, who was among the first to demonstrate that mouse embryos could be flushed from the oviducts by a stream of saline, picked up in a tiny glass pipette, and reintroduced into the uterus of a suitable recipient without damage or loss of viability. I can recall bending over the hot…
