Human Cloning: The Moral Aspect It has been 23 years since a newborn lamb with a unique history took its first breath. She looked no different from thousands of other sheep from the outside, but Dolly was no ordinary lamb. She was cloned from an adult female sheep’s mammary cell, overturning a long-held scientific belief…

The Ethical Dilemma of Pet Cloning There are few things harder than saying goodbye to a beloved pet. It can be utterly heartbreaking, but what if you didnt have to say goodbye? What if you had the technology to bring your furry friend back, would you? Should you? The ability to clone animals, specifically mammals,…

Biotechnology is unavoidable in todays society. From household products to medical procedures, biotechnology is ubiquitous. Defined as something that harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and to help improve lives, (Bio.org). There are three primary fields where biotechnology is used: medical, agricultural and industrial. Development in each of these fields is progressing at…

Introduction Gene silencing is the regulation of gene expression in a cell to prevent the expression of a certain gene. Gene silencing can occur during either transcription or translation and is often used in research. Methods used to silence genes are being increasingly used to produce therapeutics to combat cancer and other diseases, such as…

Abstract Recent upswing and advances in science and technology has exposed a great impact on all areas of human life. One of the most significant fields of science and technology is Biotechnology. The progression in biotechnology and the trends of biotechnology brought forward thinking and solutions for many of the complications that the human race…

Biotechnology can be defined as the exploitation of living systems and biological processes to develop tools for technological use. Applications may be used in areas such as industry (e.g. food, energy), medicine, environmental sciences, and computational design. The term biotechnology was introduced in 1919 by a Hungarian scientist, Karl Ereky, to refer in general to…

Introduction: There are many advantages and disadvantages when it comes to genetically engineering a baby. There are also reasons why people would want to genetically engineer a baby. In the movie My Sisters Keeper, a couple used genetic engineering to prevent their daughter from being taken away by cancer. Although, they got these body parts…

INTRODUCTION In the world today, the demand for the use of sustainable and eco-friendly environmental processes is rapidly growing, subjected to economic, public, and legislation pressure. Biotechnology provides a pool of opportunities for effectively addressing issues pertaining to the monitoring, assessment, and treatment of contaminated water, air, and solid waste streams. These pollutants in the…

ABSTRACT Nanobiotechnology is the study of the smallest biological items of nano scale 1-100 nm to create devices and systems of the equivalent range that employ for new purposes. There are many applications of nanobiotechnology such as it is used in food packaging, drug delivery, diagnosis, etc. I have discussed the applications of nanobiotechnology in…
