Many of the topics we touched upon this year are well established ethical questions that the public has debated for many years. Reading deals with a much newer ethical dilemma -- genetic engineering. Recently it has become much more frequent to see stories of scientists working on changing our genetic make up, Questions about some uses of genetic engineering, by Jonathan Glover focuses on both the ethical dilemma as well as the positive gains that can come from it.

Please post a reflection on the readings.

Genetic engagement applied for therapeutic uses and for other reasons, it avoided social risk and self-applied genetic modification. safety and efficacy of the genetic products approach make ethical dilemmas due to unsafe practice and risk. many years ago genetic technology shapes the future for many people. genetic technology helps for many Americans for organ transplants or chemotherapy. The ethical stance that leads to great happiness for many people. utilitarianism rules in society make a general rule for society to respect individual rights. genetic engineering point of view to make utilities greater advantage for needy one. this technology advances in the therapeutic treatment of disease, pharmaceuticals, and many illnesses and sufferings.

Spectroscopy is an effective tool for characterizing molecules and, to date, many techniques are well established, especially UV, Mass Spec., NMR and Infrared (FTIR). These techniques are similar in that they are based on quantum mechanical properties/interactions of atoms and molecules with electromagnetic radiation. For UV, Mass Spec., NMR and FTIR please answer the following: What elements of quantum mechanics enable spectroscopy? Briefly describe the key underlying science for UV, IR, Mass Spec and NMR spectroscopy. How do you interpret...

Many foods we consume are enriched with iron and calcium as well as Omega 3 fatty acids. Alpha-linolenic (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6) are essential fatty acids. Good sources of omega-3 fatty acids are walnuts, canola oil, flaxseed oil, or fish oil. Omega-6 fatty acids are much easier to find as they are in many foods. Based on your reading in this chapter how important do you think enriched cereals or other products are to a healthy diet?
