DNA and Your Body: What You Need to Know about Biotechnology

DNA and Your Body: What You Need to Know about Biotechnology By Colin Masters
Publisher: UNSW Press | ISBN: 0868409847 | edition 2005 | PDF | 195 pages | 1,4 mb

Most people know very little about DNA, the molecule that programs our human potential. This book explains what DNA is and then identifies its central role in so many everyday human experiences, including growth and development, ageing, individuality and degenerative diseases. All discussion is in the context of the human body. The book then addresses the flood of new DNA-related information that has flowed from the recent revolution in biotechnology: information that is transforming the food we eat; the way medicine is practised, and even changing the ways in which crimes are solved. To be informed on all these topics of the moment requires an understanding of the basic principles of DNA biology. The book discusses many controversial issues relating to applications of biotechnology, including cloning, tissue culture, the human genome project, hormone treatment and IV fertilisation. "DNA and Your Body" is written for a general audience, using non-technical language. All chapters begin with a boxed chapter summary and a list of Frequently Asked Questions, and there is a comprehensive glossary of terms. Each chapter ends with a discussion of the ethical considerations of some advances in DNA technology. The work contains some 14 explanatory black-line drawings.

Bioethics and Biosafety in Biotechnology

V. Sree Krishna, “Bioethics and Biosafety in Biotechnology”
New Age International | 2007 | ISBN: 8122422489 | 148 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

Biotechnology and allied fields like Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Microbiology are
promising research-oriented and fast-growing interdisciplinary fields. These subjects find
application in every sphere of life and have tremendous career opportunities available presently
and in future.
In such demand-oriented fields, lot of research works at molecular level changes, like
gene-transfer, stem-cell research, chemicals application, microbial involvement in environmental
upgradation including organic shift is being aimed at fertilizers, raw materials and
ultimately in human beings–food-related issues. Under these circumstances due to growing
concerns arising from Genetically-Modified Organisms throughout the world the UNIDO/WHO/
FAO/UNEP has built up an informal working group on Bioethics and Biosafety. In 1991, this
group preferred the “voluntary code of conduct for the release of organisms into the environment”.
Such operative Biosafety guidelines and Bioethic regulations are incorporated in this
book in accordance with the syllabus of M.Sc. (Biotechnology), B.E. (Biotechnology) and B.Tech.
(Biotechnology).
I thank Mr. Saumya Gupta, M.D., M/s. New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers and the
Production Editor for their kind cooperation. My sincere thanks to Mr. Sudharshan, S. P. and

Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies: Death, Mourning, and Scientific Desire in the Realm of Human Organ Transfer

Lesley A. Sharp, "Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies: Death, Mourning, and Scientific Desire in the Realm of Human Organ Transfer"
Columbia University Press | 2008-12-12 | ISBN: 0231138393 | 144 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB

In the United States today, the human body defines a lucrative site of reusable parts, ranging from whole organs to minuscule and even microscopic tissues. Although the medical practices that enable the transfer of parts from one body to another most certainly relieve suffering and extend lives, they have also irrevocably altered perceptions of the cultural values assigned to the body.

Organ transfer is rich terrain to investigate& mdash;especially in the American context, where sophisticated technological interventions have significantly shaped understandings of health and well-being, suffering, and death. In Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies, Lesley Sharp probes the ideological assumptions underlying the transfer of body parts, the social significance of donors' deaths, and the medico-scientific desires surrounding complex forms of body repair. Sharp also considers the experimental realm, in which nonhuman species and artificial devices present further opportunities for recovery and for controversy.

A compelling scientific investigation and social critique, Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies explores the pervasive, and at times pernicious, practices shaping American biomedicine in the twenty-first century.

Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the major technology of the 21st century, yet few people realise how much it impacts on many aspects of human society. The defining aim of this new fifth edition is to re-establish the correct understanding of the term biotechnology. Using the straightforward style that made the previous editions of his textbook so popular, John Smith once again helps students with the deciphering and use of biological knowledge. He explains the historical developments in biotechnology and the range of activities from brewing beer, the treatment of sewage and other wastes, and the creation of biofuels. He also discusses the innovations in molecular biology, genomics and proteomics, systems biology and their impact on new biotechnology. In this edition John Smith also re-examines the ethics and morality of aspects of biotechnology and puts new emphasis on stem cells and regenerative medicine and micro RNA.
