Since the 1980s, a renewed understanding of molecular development has afforded an unprecedented level of knowledge of the mechanisms by which phenotype in animals and plants has evolved. In this volume, top scientists in these fields provide perspectives on how molecular data in biology help to elucidate key questions in estimating paleontological divergence and in understanding the mechanisms behind phenotypic evolution. Paleobiological questions such as genome size, digit homologies, genetic control cascades behind phenotype, estimates of vertebrate divergence dates, and rates of morphological evolution are addressed, with a special emphasis on how molecular biology can inform paleontology, directly and indirectly, to better understand life's past. Highlighting a significant shift towards interdisciplinary collaboration, this is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the integration of organismal and molecular biology.

Colony of Clones, the second book in an evocative sci-fi trilogy, explores the perilous politics bubbling up in an experimental community of human clones. Rex and Dago, cloned from iconic historical figures, grapple for control over their fledgling settlement isolated from the outside world. Brilliant outcast Ator, cloned from Galileo, challenges the colony’s questionable doctrine before being banished by its authoritarian leader. The clones, copied from the bone shards of ‘genetically superior’ personages, grow up ingrained with a heightened sense of superiority, entitlement and independence. But as clones based on long-dead people struggle to find identity and purpose, fissures split wide open and they find themselves navigating a world that is anything but certain. When visitor Jake is brought to the secretive colony by the increasingly paranoid Dago, he bears uneasy witness to the psychological distress catalysed by experimental human cloning devoid of ethics. Dago’s own sister Mary grapples to break free from the trauma of being a clone caught out of time. Probing the devastating ramifications of playing god in a lab, Colony of Clones examines human cloning through an absorbing character-driven narrative full of intrigue, thought experiments, and moral complexity.

This up-to-date examination of the controversial topic of cloning concentrates mainly on the scientific and technical aspects of this form of reproduction, tracing its existence in Earth's primordial seas, to human mastery of plant cloning in the Stone Age, to the rise of mass-produced cloned food in the 20th century, to early attempts to clone animals, to the first cloned pets, and ends with speculation about the possibilities of human cloning in the future.

Genetic Morality written by David Shaw and has been published by Peter Lang this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006 with Eugenics categories.
Cloning, embryo research and genetic modification are three of the most controversial issues of our time. Is it ethical to use cloning as a means of reproduction? Are embryos people? Is there a difference between removing genetic disease and creating «designer babies»? This book will attempt to show that these and other problems are ultimately resolvable, given careful and unbiased application of established ethical principles, many of which underlie common morality. These principles, when applied to the problems of the new genetic technologies, form the basis of a new genetic morality. This book applies established principles of biomedical ethics to the new genetic technologies and examines the ethical implications of reproductive and therapeutic cloning, genetic modification and stem cell research from a deontological and a rule-utilitarian perspective. Finally, it seeks to establish what, if anything, is wrong with each of these practices, and why.

Identical twins are clones. Their genetic material is the same. Some plants make their own clones. Microorganisms can also clone themselves. Cloning can be a natural process, yet some people object to scientists making clones in the laboratory. These people feel that another life is being created where one would not be possible without scientific intervention. Cloning can be used for other things, too. There is research into using the process to make artificial skin for burn victims, healthy bone marrow for people with bone marrow cancer, and whole new organs, such as hearts and livers. With all of these possible benefits, why would people want this research stopped? One reason is that some of the cells used for cloning, stem cells, come from embryos. Another is that animal welfare activists object to experiments with animals. Are these complaints reasonable? Are the benefits greater than the risks? 'In Science at the Edge: Body Doubles: Cloning Plants and Animals', you can learn about the process of cloning and the reasons for doing it, and then make up your own mind.
