The Dangers of Genetic Engineering to Humanity

Genetics is the most interesting part of science because it explains how certain traits are passed down by parents to their offspring. Gregor Mendel is considered the pioneer in explaining this theory of the genetics within generations of offspring. Mendel’s studies would shape the way we view [...]

Genetic Engineering is a powerful and potentially very dangerous too. To change the sequence of nucleotides of the DNA that code for the structure of a complex living organism, can have extremely ill effects although the potential benefit can be huge. Genetic Engineering is a technology that [...]

The main differences between the two types of batteries are that one is rechargeable (secondary) and one is non-rechargeable (primary). Rechargeable batteries are batteries which consist of reversible reactions which allow them to recharge, or it could get its potential back, by the work done due [...]

As the field of Biotechnology grows, chemists and biologists alike are facing an ever-increasing conundrum of ethical hurdles brought on by technological breakthroughs. Genetic engineering stands on the cusp of a revolution. Breakthroughs in genetic engineering (GE) technologies will soon make it [...]

With over one billion vehicles on the planet, the carbon dioxide emissions are rising. In the age of information, each and everyone is aware of the risks associated with vehicular pollution. In the past decade, there has been a boost in the consciousness of the dangers of pollution and a [...]

Alexander Graham Bell was a very important inventor. His life was very different than ours are today. Bell’s life was very interesting. Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3,1847 in Edinburgh,Scotland and died on August 2,1922 in Nova Scotia,Canada at the age of 75. He had two brothers, his [...]

Millions of tons of food are processed and packaged by individuals and machines. As such, the possibility exists that food manufacturers and the suppliers will not catch every object that does not belong in the product. When a person consumes a food that has a foreign object in it, he or she may [...]

Finite element method (FEM) is one of the most used methods by engineers. It’s a necessity for each engineer to understand this method. FEM is now an integral part of most structural analyses. In fact, we not only use FEM in the daily analysis, we also use FEM to optimize our structural designs. [...]

Human germline engineering is the process by which a human’s inherited traits (or genes) are adapted. This is attained through altering specimen within the germinal cells, for instance, the oocyte and spermatogonium. Human germline engineering should not be confused with gene therapy. Gene [...]
