1. The raw fundamental data on the human genome cannot be patented but the genes and gene-based discoveries can. 2. The map of the human genome produced by Collins and his co-workers is available from the internet for free all over the world. In other words‚ the map of the human genome created by the HGP is a public good. 3. Celera genomics has no patent over the human genome. However‚ celera does have proprietary rights over its version of that genome. It is private good. Quiz 2 1.

Sarah Burns Iatrical Human Genome Rationalization On the edge of biotechnology in today’s society‚ Andrew Niccol’s approach to the Human Genetic Engineering and In-Vitro Fertilization in his sci-fi film GATTACA‚ reveals a dystopian society caused by the misuse of biotechnology. Vincent Freeman is naturally born into a perverse world‚ where births are virtually screened for diseases and weaknesses‚ in addition to improving any fetus through surgery of genomes. The naturally born are considered

Designer Babies: Creating the Perfect One. In the last few years‚ scientists have invented different methods for fertility‚ such as medicines‚ donors‚ In Vitro Fertilization‚ and many others. Methods like these are for men and women who are infertile. In Margaret Atwood’s novel Oryx and Crake‚ Crake has figured out a way to keep a lot of things away from the Crakers‚ like where they came from and why they are different from snowman. Science technology is growing every day in Crake’s “Paradice”

done regarding whether GMF should be used for our daily food products. Although scientists have failed to show any negative affects within humans‚ when they experimented on rats‚ the results were that the rats ended up with organ damage‚ thickening of small intestines and poor brain development. Still‚ no death or harmful effect have been shown within humans‚ thus GMF is still continued. affects towards our environment.

Ethical Dilemmas in Genetic Patenting – A Utilitarian Perspective On August 16th‚ the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that Myriad Genetics in Salt Lake City‚ Utah‚ had the right to patent ‘isolated’ genes that are linked to ovarian and breast cancers.1 This means that Myriad Genetics can prevent others from using the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in research. It also means that Myriad can charge high prices from companies that wish to use these genes. This has raised arguments about the ethical
