A. The Selfish Gene‚ authored by Richard Dawkins‚ attempts reconsider the longstanding theory of evolution by adjusting the perspective of the reader and scientific community. Dawkins asserts that Darwinian evolution‚ as it is presently taught‚ is vulnerable to misinterpretation given the unit of selection most commonly discussed. To clarify‚ the phrase “survival of the fittest” is often bandied about whenever a textbook or lecture broaches the topic of evolution. But who‚ or what‚ is the fittest

Gene and cell therapy are new treatments for cancer patients. These treatments are easier on the patient than the standard methods that are offered. Although they are experimental and still under clinical trial‚ they have shown positive results in some patients. This treatment allows patients own bodies to fight the disease for them and not have to worry about reoccurrence. The one thing that needs to be considered when using these types of treatments are if they or not. Gene and cell therapy are

Advantages of Gene therapy: Future Perspectives and Ethics Gene Therapy History In the 80s‚ advances in molecular biology have allowed the human genes were cloned and sequenced. Scientists looked for a method to facilitate the production of proteins - such as insulin - viewed introducing human genes into the DNA of bacteria. Bacteria‚ genetically modified‚ then began to produce the corresponding protein‚ which could be collected and injected into people who could not produce naturally. After
