This deactivated virus will slip into a cell and take over its DNA and force it to produce more viruses. The virus can therefore enter the specific cell and deliver the healthy gene. With the Human Genome Project, we have a map of all the genes that make up a human body and with the research of different groups we know how some genes cause disease. The thought of gene therapy seems somewhat simple, but there are risks that come with this new field of biotechnology.
Gene therapy is a relatively new procedure and many of the risks are unknown. Currently viruses and other agents have been the most effective way to deliver healthy genes, but can also affect the cells detrimentally (4). Another risk is that when a gene is added to DNA, it could be incorrectly placed, which could have potential to do more harm than good perhaps resulting in cancer or other damage (4). Genes also can be "over expressed," meaning that the protein they were supposed to produce is produced in excessive amounts that can prove to be harmful or even fatal (4). The only real way to find out how these techniques of gene therapy will work is through extensive testing and experimentation.
Trials have been done extensively on animals, but rarely on humans. Human testing is a last resort for those in dire need of medical assistance and all other medication and medical procedures have failed. Currently clinical trials have been halted by the food and drug administration because the risks of gene therapy are still unclear and deaths in some studies. In a recent trial a three year-old infant was being treated for a disease, x-Severe Combined Immunodeficiency syndrome (x-SCID), which leaves a person without an immune system (1). The therapy involved taking a sample of bone marrow cells and infecting them with a retrovirus modified to carry the correct gene. In this case the gene was "over expressed" and produced too many white blood cells.
Subsequently code of ethics was developed for research with both animal and human subjects. ... Ethics are set of moral principles which delineate what is good and what is bad for individuals as well as society. ... This concept of ethics will be elaborated in the current report. For clarity the topic is categorically classified as ethics of social behavioral research in non-human animals and as ethics of social behavioral research in humans. ... If it is indispensible for the sake of science, animals must be closely monitored and treated as soon as the process is over. ...
There is also the question of whether school science can truly reflect science in the 'real world' and how relevant it is to the lives of the students that study it. ... Pupils can choose to study the sciences separately, i.e. ... There is also an important role of science in geography, history, ethics, business and many other topics and well as a general improvement in thinking skills. ... On the other hand, does practical work in school science mimic science in the 'real world'? ... In addition to the decision-making citizenship argument in teaching science, this list ...
The Ethicality of Science by Ryan Potter "The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. ... Restrictions have begun stopping "evils" of science. The first look at ethics in science were seen with the after math of the second world war; we continue to see some ethical restriction with current technology and can only hope to see it in the future. ... Nanotechnology is a new comer to the game of science. ... It seems if we fail to meet our own ethics we may doom ourselves with the progression of our science. ...
Why Bother With Ethics? ... Purpose, principle and consequence are the vehicles of ethics in business. ... Ethics are a necessary and critical ingredient in any successful enterprise. ... Clearly, defining ethics is to define man 's values and interests. ... These new methods and sciences are accompanied by assumptions about their inherent benefit to mankind. ...
"What is ethics?" ... Many philosophers consider ethics to be the "science of conduct." ... So what is "Business Ethics"? ... Even without any extracurricular deeds of charity or generosity, those in business, as those in education or science, could be seen as embarking upon morally worthwhile tasks. ... With business as an honorable profession, it can now be appreciated that the field has some unique tasks where one faces temptations to go wrong, to become corrupted, no more or less so than in medicine, art, science, and education....
Logic can also be defined as the sciences of evaluating arguments. ... What is science? ... Edmund Husseri a twentieth century German philosopher and the founder of a movement in philosophy known as phenomenology spoke of the crisis of the European sciences. By this he meant the fateful prospect of a society whose science had become developed and abstract that it has lost contact with the life world. The next origin of philosophy that I will cover is ethics. ...
