    Case Study 27 Genentech 060315

    PESTAL analysis shows that the Political, Legal, Economic, and Social-Cultural environments were changing significantly in the biotechnology sector by the late 2000 's. The economic stimulus package and the Healthcare Reform Act were both bringing about increased government oversight to the industry, which could mean that time to market for new products could be increased and the potential that some products would not receive accreditation from regulating bodies meaning that sales and revenue could be impacted.…

    Pro Gmo Executive Summary

    Census Bureau, the current world population is over 7 billion as of 2012, which is approximately double of what it what in the 1960’s. Out of those 7 billion worldwide, the U.S. constitutes over 3 billion. GMO have many benefits such as; increased production in quantities of food, lower pesticide use, and growing products with a specific desired trait. GM seeds allow farmers to produce bigger, more reliable crops. Plant breeding also results in crops better able to withstand the environmental challenges of drought, disease and insect infestations. This allows farmers to grow more food, and increase profitable crops for the marketplace. Nutrition-enhanced GM crops help to significantly decrease malnutrition. Ultimately, this also allows cheaper consumer prices for GM foods at the marketplace. An Iowa State University study shows that without biotechnology, global prices would be nearly 10 percent higher for soybeans and 6 percent higher for corn. With the exponential growth of the human population, GM crops may be the only way to ensure that worldwide food production keeps…

    What Is the Future of Humans If We Utilise All Aspects of Available Biotechnology?

    Biotechnology, at its simplest is technology based on biology – it employs the use of cellular and bimolecular processes to develop products and technologies. The variety of living cells used for their biochemical talents range from simple singled-cells bacteria and yeast to complex multi-cellular organisms, such as plants and humans. Over the years, biotechnology has been a rapidly developing area of science that seeks to improve living conditions for all people across the world. Although the word biotechnology carries modern connotations, humans have used biological processes involving microorganisms for thousands of years in aiding the production of food products. A few of the most prominent and areas of science that utilises biotechnology are; cloning, IVF and stem cell research.…

    Rogerian Argument of Genetic Engineered Foods

    “Biotechnology has been used for more than 6,000 years for lots of interesting and practical purposes: making food such as bread and cheese, preserving dairy products and fermenting beer” (Biotechnology - Promising a Brighter Future for the World). Although we do not always realize it, biotechnology is a huge part of our everyday lives, from the medicine we use to keep us healthy, the fuel we use to take us where we need to go, and even the food we eat and the sources it comes from, biotechnology already plays, and must continue to play, an invaluable role in meeting our needs. Biotechnology uses cellular and bio-molecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet. It has granted us the ability to overcome physiological barriers and to exchange genetic materials among living organisms. Genetically modified foods are the latest contribution of biotechnology. These foods are being made by inserting genes from an external source such as viruses, bacteria, animals or plants into a usually unrelated species. The use of recombinant DNA technology has the potential to allow humans to create desired and designed foods.…

    Summary Of The Controversy Over Biotechnology

    Biotechnology has been the source of lots of controversy. There are those that love Biotechnology and dream of all the great things it could bring to mankind. There are also those who see it as threat to mankind, something that could possibly overthrow our current society. James Watson, who along with Francis Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA, exerts that this controversy is not deserved. He believes that it is pertinent for our future, that it could benefit mankind. Francis Fukuyama, a professor at John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and author of the influential best seller Our Posthuman Future, insists that “… our compulsion to control and manipulate natural processes, including the human genome, will ultimately undermine nature itself (Fukuyama 668).” This viewpoint is concerned with conserving mankind as it is. There must be a place in between, a stance that both sides agree on.…

    recombinant dna technology

    According to one account, biotechnology was born during a meeting in Hawaii in 1972 between Stanford medical professor Stanley Cohen, and biochemist Herbert Boyer from the University of California (Russo, 2003). The men were attending a conference on plasmids, and discussed the ability to introduce plasmid DNA into the bacterium E Coli that would allow researchers to actually clone the plasmids in the bacteria. Boyer and Cohen eventually chose different paths, both affected by the growing concerns about the safety of recombinant DNA technology, but this meeting is marked as the beginning of the biotechnology revolution. Cohen stayed in academia and defended recombinant DNA technology in US congressional hearings. During the same time, in 1976 Herbert Boyer partnered with venture capitalist and MIT graduate Robert Swanson to set up and develop the worlds first biotechnology company, Genentech (Russo, 2003). Since its introduction in the 1970’s the biotechnology industry has exploded, revolutionizing science and agricultural as well as pharmaceutical production. In 2011, Ernst &Young stated in the US alone there were 1,870 public and private biotechnology companies, their revenues worth over 60 billion US dollars (www.ey.com, 2012).…
