PPT-Genetic Modification to Create Super Humans

By Donna Snow Stance Genetic modification as already done to mice to extend life and increase performance should not be done to humans Introduction A group of Scientists at Case Western University in Cleveland Ohio have genetically modified a group of mice to create a line of super mice . Toba the super volcano is considered an unknown phenomenon of the world. It erupted around 74,000 years ago and nearly made the entire human population extinct. It has erupted explosively a number of times over the past 1.2 millions years on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.. Science in society - gm. Dr Cherryl Hunt, University of Exeter. https://sites.google.com/site/asoftsb/home/methods-of-selective-breeding/examples. Genetic modification by breeding. Genetic modification by manipulation. Essential idea: Biologists have developed techniques for artificial manipulation of DNA, cells and organisms.. There are a number of key techniques involved in the analysis of DNA and gene transfer. The image above shows nuclear transfer, the key step in cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer. Dolly the sheep was the first success clone using this technique of direct cell manipulation. SCNT remains a key part of genetic engineering as it allows patient specific embryonic stem cells to be created, a key step in the application of gene therapies in a patient.. Living Environment .
