Abstract of the research paper Takeshi Ishida
“Should genetic engineering be controlled by law?”
I chose this topic because I used to study medicine at my former
university. And I’m also thinking of studying biology at HPU, so I felt
I have to write something about this topic. Need I say more? It is a
fundamental problem related to what we are.
The genetic engineering always carries lots of ethical problems.
Especially, when it comes to embryonic stem cells(ESCs) which are provided
from abortion. Ethicists rage about the treatment of aborted embryos. But
in the last several years, researchers succeeded in creating alike
omnipotent cells, to say precisely, pluripotent cells in different ways.
But fundamental problems have not been solved yet. This is because most
of the problems are based on religious culture and basic morality.
In this research paper, I would like to focus on animal and human related
genetic engineering. I believe that to argue so many things in one paper
will not only confuse the reader but also lead to lack of coherence. Of
course, I will mention plants and vegetation, if needed.
We are now facing a step further problem, which is about applying these technologies to human beings and medicine for cure. Already some of the
research institutes have created clone sheep, clone dogs and so on. Can
we apply these technologies to our babies or ourselves? We have been and
are facing a big
