Genetical engeering
- Thread starter plavi
- Start date
you migth want to try to type genetic engineering in to one of the web search engines.
it might also help to state what kind of information you are seeking...do you want to know how it is done? are you more interested in ethical problems associated with it? etc.

WOW. It's a *big* subject. Where to start from?
I think you ought to be more specific.
Whas that the exact subject you've been asked to write about?
And if it's just an essay- i think it's enough..
Anyway, there's the Department of Genetics in Ukraine,
fount it as a source of starting-point:
http://www-niibio.univer.kharkov.ua/geneteng.htm
Anyway, I suggest you some specific subjects you can write regarding the Genetical Engeneering (or as some headings):
History of Genetical Engeneering . Don't forget the WW2 business around this engeneering. Reich tried to clone human beings.
Genetical Engeneering-Why?.
Why could it be good to Mankind? You should discuss about the moral and regional dilemas and conflicts, human nature and so on.
I suggest to mention RAEL Org also and its Clonaoid- a company to Man Cloning.
Genetical Engeneering-Rat Race?.
The present competition between the various comapnies and the government's interests in this "game".
Genetical Engeneering-Harmonious Future?.
Will it lead to a better future of Mankind? or we all become a monotone robot-like society? What about our choices?
I suggest to mention (and giving examples) from appropriate movies, such as A.I and Matrix, and other cultural sources.
Good Luck!!
Gil.

I want to know how it's done, in every detail. I've already tried search engines but they did't give me any useful information.
a book then:
'transgenic mammals', John bishop 1999
if you are interested in transgenic mice specifically
if you wanted to hear more about gene cloning then it should be enough to open any molecular biology book and find the relevant chapter...
and i know nothing about plants...

Stem cells in tissue engineering

CONTEXT: Tissue engineering in a classical sense implies the use of organ-specific cells for seeding a scaffold ex vivo. The cell-based (but not necessarily stem cell-based) nature of tissue engineering served to define it, and to distinguish it......
