Genetic engineering: Gattaca is a biological film that talks about the theme of the power of science where children are pre implanted with genes to enable them to posses the best traits when they are born. The misuse of science to enhance individual’s capabilities is what rules Niccol’s society of Gattaca. The misuse of science, particularly the field genetic engineering is depicted through the written code of the inter title, the audio code of voice over. The written code of the inter title “I not

Designer Babies, The horizon of gene technology broadens everyday along with the imagination of every human being. Designer babies a rather amusing as well as a controversial field in science could one day change the living world. The term ‘designer babies’ is used by people like journalists. A more scientific term would be ‘genetically modified babies’. Designing babies is actually more of a general term as this covers lots of different areas within. The points i am covering are genetics, diseases

in 1913 when John Broadus Watson published the classic article 'Psychology as the behaviorist views it'.

The full name of these two Scientists is Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl they were from the California Institute of technology, they are well known for performing an experiment in 1958, which proved the hypothesis of Watson and Crick in which DNA replicated itself by opening up the double helix without coming completely apart and that it was Semi conservative (Holmes, 2001). What Semi conservative mean is one strand of DNA is used as the template which is usually 15N indicated by the color red

A prolific scientist, named Dr. Carlo Croce, is emerging in the area of cancer research, which is sometimes called the “dark matter” of the human genome. Dr. Croce has turned his decades-long pursuit of cancer remedies into a research empire. He has been the recipient of over $86 million in federal grants. He has also earned more than 60 awards. Some accusations have stated that Dr. Croce overstated his expansive claims for therapeutic promise and that his laboratory is focused on creating more papers
