Genetically Engineered Foods Genetically Modified Crops
944 wordsJUST as 130 nations were meeting in Montreal recently to forge the first global treaty regulating genetically modified crops, Frito-Lay Inc. was telling its farmers in the United States not to grow genetically engineered corn for use in Doritos chips and other snacks. The problem, the company said, was not a risk to health from the corn but a risk that consumers wouldn't want it. These two events reflect the unease with which genetically engineered foods have been received. Science has reached w...

634 wordsI was born on April 26 th, 1932 in Blackpool, England. My childhood went by quickly. I was very bright in elementary school. My family wasnt to rich, so I didnt have the option to go to a private school. Luckily I earned a Scholarship to Arnold School. And although I didnt like my peers, I tried hard at school and I did well. I was not proficient in Latin and so was not able to go to Oxford or Cambridge. However, I did enter the first-rate chemistry honours program at the University of Mancheste...

Cloning Of Human Beings Transgenic Animals
1,018 words1. Introduction When the birth of the cloned sheep Dolly became headline news in February 1997, cloning instantly turned into a heated topic for debate all over the world. Almost three years on, it seemed the right moment to collect and share the experiences gained within various countries with this debate on cloning. For this aim the Rathenau Institute, the Dutch parliamentary technology assessment organization, set up a one-day international symposium on November 19, 1999 in Amsterdam, with sp...
