Function of Religious Capital in the Acceptance of Genetic Engineering

Religions and religious schools have always been one of the main and fundamental factors in the creation and development of civilizations or their destruction. With the establishment of a religious government in Iran; based on the values of the Islamic Revolution, more attention was paid for science and technology. Iran is now praised for its continued growth in scientific publications during t...

CRISPR-Cas9: a promising genetic engineering approach in cancer research

Bacteria and archaea possess adaptive immunity against foreign genetic materials through clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) systems. The discovery of this intriguing bacterial system heralded a revolutionary change in the field of medical science. The CRISPR and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) based molecular mechanism has been applied to genome editing. This C...

Ethics in Genetic Engineering

A relatively new and controversial science has been causing waves in today’s society. This science is called genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is the manipulation of a gene or strain of DNA by using bioengineering. Animals or bacteria that undergo genetic engineering are called genetically modified organisms. Recently, genetic engineering has been expanded to humans. More specifically in...

Genetic Engineering in Agriculture:

Genetically modified crops and foodstuff have been highly controversial for environmental, health, and ethical reasons. The controversies have been world-wide, but most prominent in the European Union, for reasons that include distrust of the regulatory authorities, scientists and technocratic decision making. An informal moratorium in the EU came recently to an end, without solving the underly...
