Eight chapters from four esteemed bioethicists introduce the problems incumbent in biogenetics. In addition to introducing the complexities of advancing biotechnologies, they discuss this topic in the wake of previous eugenic projects, as a lever for social betterment, and for the policy and social justice imbroglios that employed therapies would ...
This disturbing and eye-opening book explores the growing trade in human DNA, blood, tissues, bones, embryos, and other commodities of the burgeoning new biotechnology market.
Since the 1970s the interrelated areas of medical genetics and biotechnology have developed dramatically and afforded increased control over the design of living organisms. From the very beginning, controversies over these techniques and their applications to plants, animals and humans have raged in many disciplines - including science, philosophy ...
New developments in biotechnology radically alter our relationship with our bodies. Body tissues can now be used for commercial purposes, while external objects, such as pacemakers, can become part of the body. Property in the Body: Feminist Perspectives transcends the everyday responses to such developments, suggesting that what we most fear is ...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are RNA molecules, conserved by evolution, that regulate gene expressions and their discovery has revolutionised both basic biomedical research and drug discovery. Expression levels of MiRNAs have been found to vary between tissues and with developmental stages and hence evaluation of the global expression of miRNAs potentially ...
Intended for use in an introductory course on biomaterials, taught primarily in departments of biomedical engineering. The book covers classes of materials commonly used in biomedical applications, followed by coverage of the biocompatibility of those materials with the biological environment. Finally, it covers some in-depth applications of ...
This is a guide to design precision in an intricately complex and progressive field. The design and functional complexity of medical devices and systems has increased during the past half century, evolving from cardiac pacemakers to magnetic resonance imaging. Such life-saving advancements are monumentally advantageous, but with so much at stake, ...
