The topic of Eugenics affects several Catholic Views of Social Justice. One Social Justice in particular that directly affects the view of Catholics is Ecological Justice. Ecological Justice is being concerned with the obligations that humans have to the rest of creation. Eugenics is the...

Genetic engineering, in definition, is the artificial manipulation, modification, and recombination of DNA or other nucleic acid molecules in order to modify an organism or a population of organisms. Genetic engineering is beneficial in many ways. In an experiment setting, the technology was demonstrated to...

Have you ever known that GMOs is safe for human’s life? GMOs is considered to be safe and dangerous by some people. There was a debate in 2018 that showed about genetically modified food, which is created for preventing from pests, infecting from virus ad...

Genetic modification is the area of biotechnology which concerns itself with the manipulation of genetic material in living organisms and enabling them to perform a specific function. New developments leading to modern genetic modification which took place in 1946 where scientists first discovered that genetic...

According to WHO (World Health Organisation), ‘Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms (i.e. plants, animals or microorganisms) in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination.’ GMOs are produced...

Food is the nutrients that people or animals eat or drink or that plant absorbs to maintain life and growth. With the huge increasing population of the world, the food production from natural resources could not meet their needs. So the researchers move to produce...

As Rifkin (n.d.) had said, “Many of the genetically modified foods will be safe, I’m sure. Will most of them be safe? Nobody knows”, it is quite true. In 2018, Dr. Mehmet Oz had invited guests to debate in his show on the topic of...

In this essay I have analyzed and critically evaluated the findings of four researches conducted with the goal to find the link between genes and aggression. I have also tried to determine how likely it is that these genes make an individual more prone to...

Genetically Modified Organisms, also known as GMOs, refers to any living organism whose genetic makeup has been modified by scientists under laboratory conditions and isn’t produced naturally. Nowadays, they are found in almost everything, with the most common types of GMOs crops being, corn, papaya,...

With each passing minute, the world population increases by hundreds, and to support the ever-increasing population, food is required. To cope up with this food demand, various methods are being devised since decades. A recent one under discussion is ‘Gene Editing’. This method, unlike any...

Amongst the rapidly growing field of genetics lies a rather peculiar process which once was the pinnacle of Science Fiction now a certain absolute in reality – Cloning. Regardless of any controversial issues surrounding this process, it is now more widely used than ever and...

In this procedure the beneficial or gene of interest is identified which is then isolated and multiplied and then inserted into the...

Researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine and the Palo Alto Veteran Affairs Health Care System have established a section of genetic mutations which govern cholesterol levels in the body and may also guide the development and use of cardiovascular and diabetes drugs. This data...
