Genetic Engineering – A Christian Scientist’s Perspective
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Dr. Ray Bohlin examines the rapidly moving world of genetic engineering from a Christian worldview perspective. He explains that most genetic engineering attempts to make more efficient changes similar to those previously done through selective breeding and other conventional techniques. However, those working in the field need to be aware of the ethical and religious issues that arise in this area of science.

متن کاملThe impact of university licensing behaviour on scientist disclosure ∗
In this paper we analyze how a Technology Transfer Office (TTO) developing a reputation in the sale of university research may affect a scientist’s willingness to disclose ideas to the university. The TTO receives projects from academic scientists each period and then must decide whether to check the quality of each project. Checking the quality of projects and only licensing high valued projec...
متن کاملCooperative Solving of a Children’s Jigsaw Puzzle between Human and Robot: First Results
Intelligent human robot cooperation still is a challenging field of research. At the Institute of Process Control and Robotics at the University of Karlsruhe we intend to use an anthropomorphic robot to learn how to solve a children’s jigsaw puzzle together with a human tutor. Instead of choosing a straight forward engineer’s approach, we have decided to combine a psychologist’s and a computer ...
متن کاملThe Quandaries and Promise of Risk Management: A Scientist’s Perspective on Integration of Science and Management
analysis on both sides of the management/ research fence in a federal land-management agency in areas of wildlife and ecosystem conservation (e.g., Marcot et al. 2006). I can attest that this classical risk-management framework, as applied to public land and natural resource management, just doesn’t work as portrayed in the textbooks. Here’s why, and here are some practical opportunities for mo...
