Will Biotechnology Overcrowd the Planet?
Genetic modification has gotten a hostile reception from activists who claim to be protecting the planet. But the most powerful underlying emotion for their unrea-soned fear—rapid human population growth—is rapidly becoming irrelevant. Will biotechnology overcrowd the planet by saving more sick people while producing more food to fuel more population growth? In a word, no. The opposition of the...

Coronary heart disease kills more Americans each year than any other disease. So why have biotechs lagged in developing treatments? No quick answers, but change is coming.
متن کاملWill relativistic heavy-ion colliders destroy our planet?
Experiments at the Brookhaven National Laboratory will study collisions between gold nuclei at unprecedented energies. The concern has been voiced that “strangelets”– hypothetical products of these collisions– may trigger the destruction of our planet. We show how naturally occurring heavy-ion collisions can be used to derive a safe and stringent upper bound on the risk incurred in running thes...
متن کاملAgricultural Biotechnology and Globalization: How will public-private partnerships evolve
This paper examines the challenges and opportunities facing the agricultural biotechnology sector as it works to sustain innovations and further propagate its benefits into the new century. We survey the milestones of technological, legal, and economic precedence in this area and discuss institutional mechanisms for public and private partnership that can help agricultural biotechnology fulfill...
متن کاملWhere will the wood come from? Plantation forests and the role of biotechnology.
Wood is almost as important to humanity as food, and the natural forests from which most of it is harvested from are of enormous environmental value. However, these slow-growing forests are unable to meet current demand, resulting in the loss and degradation of forest. Plantation forests have the potential to supply the bulk of humanity's wood needs on a long-term basis, and so reduce to accept...
