The Political Implications Of Human Genetic Technology

The Political Implications Of Human Genetic Technology

Human genetic technology has advanced rapidly in recent years to the point where amniocentesis is commonplace and in vitro fertilization has been successful. On the horizon looms the specter of human cloning and genetic engineering raising a storm of new moral and ethical questions. These questions asserts the author are not the only ones to be considered; the impact and role of public policy are equally critical. What part should the state play in human genetic intervention? To what extent does a democratic society have the duty to take steps to reduce genetic disease and improve the quality of life through genetic engineering? If society has such responsibility at what stage does societal good preempt individual rights? What is society's obligation toward future generations and is genetic manipulation justifiable on these grounds? After surveying the state of the art the author grapples with these questions contending that decisions ultimately will not be based on ethical and moral grounds –they will be fought out in the political arena. | The Political Implications Of Human Genetic Technology

Genetic Theory of Reality

Genetic Theory of Reality

James Mark Baldwin left a legacy that has yet to be fully examined one with profound implications for science and the humanities. In some sense it paralleled that of his friend Charles Sanders Peirce whose semiotics became understood only a century later. Baldwin was trying to make sense of complex biological and social processes that only now have come into the limelight as biological sciences have re-emerged in psychology. Baldwin's focus on development based on the observation of his own children and extrapolated to his general theoretical scheme is fully in line with where contemporary biological sciences are heading. This is exemplified by the bounded flexibility of the work of the genetic system. The general principle of persistent exploration of the environment with the result of creating novelty which was the core of Baldwin's theoretical system has since the 1960s become the guiding idea in genetics. Contemporary developmental science is rooted in Baldwin's thinking. In his new introduction Jaan Valsiner shows that Baldwin's Genetic Theory of Reality demonstrates how human beings are in their nature social beings establishes an alternative conceptualization of evolutionary theory and formulates a system of developmental logic all of which serve as the foundation for developmental psychology as a whole. This is a work of social science rediscovery long overdue.

Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Debates about Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) have moved on in recent years. An initial focus on the legal obligations established by international agreements like the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and the form of obligations for collecting physical biological materials have now moved to a far more complex series of disputes and challenges about the ways ABS should be implemented and enforced: repatriation of resources technology transfer traditional knowledge and cultural expressions; open access to information and knowledge naming conventions farmers’ rights new schemes for accessing pandemic viruses and sharing DNA sequences and so on. Unfortunately most of this debate is now crystallised into apparently intractable discussions such as implementing the certificates of origin recognising traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expression as a form of intellectual property and sovereignty for Indigenous peoples. Not everything in this new marketplace of ABS has been created de novo. Like most new entrants ABS has disrupted existing legal and governance arrangements. This collection of chapters examines what is new what has been changed and what might be changed in response to the growing acceptance and prevalence of ABS of genetic resources. Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property: Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources addresses current issues arising from recent developments in the enduring and topical debates about managing genetic resources through the ABS regime. The book explores key historical doctrinal and theoretical issues in the field at the same time developing new ideas and perspectives around ABS. It shows the latest state of knowledge and will be of interest to researchers academics policymakers and students in the fields of intellectual property governance biodiversity and conservation sustainable development and agriculture. | Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Genetic Seeds of Warfare Evolution Nationalism and Patriotism

Genetic Seeds of Warfare Evolution Nationalism and Patriotism

For millennia humanity has simultaneously deplored and waged war. With each conflict the stakes have risen and we now face global annihilation for the sake of a practice all the world claims to condemn. Is there some seemingly irresistible force that impels us toward our own destruction? To explain this central paradox of human behaviour Genetic Seeds of Warfare originally published in 1989 advances a startling new theory. It traces the origins of warfare back to early groups of Homo sapiens in competition for scarce resources showing that warfare evolved as these groups evolved: kin-group against kin-group; tribe against tribe; nation against nation. Rather than being tied to a specific gene warfare emerged as one of many behavioural strategies for maximising genetic survival. As social groups became more complex motivations for warfare developed from simple protection of blood relations to political appeals to shared ethnicity religion and national identity. But the ultimate cause of warfare is rooted in the most basic of human drives: the need to ensure that one’s genes will survive and reproduce. The authors challenge many assumptions about human behaviour in general and warfare in particular. They convincingly present the case for an evolutionary understanding of the propensity for warfare supporting their argument with data from a vast array of social and natural science research. In doing so they reveal why previous attempts at ending war have failed and make proactive suggestions toward the development of a new agenda for world peace. | Genetic Seeds of Warfare Evolution Nationalism and Patriotism

The Status of the Family in Law and Bioethics The Genetic Context

The Status of the Family in Law and Bioethics The Genetic Context

Where do a doctor's responsibilities lie in communicating diagnostic and predictive genetic information to a patient's family members? On the one hand a patient may wish to retain confidentiality while the relatives seek information; on the other a patient may wish to share the information while the relatives would rather not know. This volume investigates the doctor's professional legal and ethical obligations in the context of these two familial tensions. The examination is conducted within the liberal-communitarian debate whereby the two philosophies hold different perceptions of the individual and the relationship he or she has with others. Within this theoretical framework the book examines the approach taken by English medical law and ethics to the communication of genetic information to family members. Legally the focus is on tort law and the law of confidentiality. Ethically it concentrates on the approach taken by the bioethical literature and more specifically by codes of ethics and professional guidelines. | The Status of the Family in Law and Bioethics The Genetic Context

Automated Software Testing with Cypress

Automated Software Testing with Cypress

Unit Integration Testing (UIT) had been a challenge because there was no tool that could help in XHR programming and unit integration validations in an efficient way until Cypress arrived. Cypress started releasing versions in 2015 and became popular in 2018 with version 2. 0. 0. This book explores Cypress scripts that help implement ‘shift left testing’ which is a dream come true for many software testers. Shift left occurs in the majority of testing projects but could not be implemented fully because tools were unavailable and knowledge was lacking about the possibilities of testing early in the life cycle. Shift left is a key testing strategy to help testing teams focus less on defect identifications and more on developing practices to prevent defects. Cypress scripts can help front-end developers and quality engineers to work together to find defects soon after web components are built. These components can be tested immediately after they are built with Cypress Test Driven Development (TDD) scripts. Thus defects can be fixed straight away during the development stage. Testing teams do not have to worry about finding these same defects in a later development stage because Cypress tests keep verifying components in the later stages. Defect fixing has become much cheaper with Cypress than when other tools are used. The book also covers Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)-based Gherkin scripts and the Cypress Cucumber preprocessor which can improve test scenario coverage. Automated Software Testing with Cypress is written to fulfil the BDD and TDD needs of testing teams. Two distinct open source repositories are provided in Github to help start running Cypress tests in no time!
