¿Qué es un genoma? ¿Qué moléculas lo constituyen? ¿Cuál es su estructura? ¿Cuál es su función? ¿Cómo se secuencia? ¿Qué diferencias hay entre los genomas de diferentes especies? ¿Qué genomas se han secuenciado hasta ahora? ¿Por qué y para qué? ¿Qué hemos descubierto del genoma humano? ¿Qué nos depara el futuro? Estas y muchas otras preguntas, dudas, reticencias y precauciones son las que la autora, responsable del Laboratorio de Secuenciación Automática de DNA del Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas "Alberto Sols" (IIB) CSIC-UAM, y coordinadora de las jornadas ...

This is a book that I would have liked to read 30 years ago, but unfortunately there was no willingness on the part of dissident scientists and Nobel laureates to publish this data, which was kept in a very small academic and governmental circle. The biggest scam in history investigates the germ theory and whether it holds up to scientific and empirical scrutiny. The evolutive origin of viruses is a little enigma for the official science and they do not even agree on whether these biological entitis are living beings or not. Some of these mysterious microscopic beings have apparently been ...

Will the rise of machines result in our becoming slaves? What is the human consciousness? Science fiction fans whose typical Hollywood diet of future killer robots may not have considered the very real possibility that, when quantum computing gives rise to artificial intelligence, its rate of technological advancement will not only become exponential, but it will apprehend quickly (and scarily to us) who we are, and who IT is, especially if this A.I. has instant access to all human knowledge.

The ethical questions surrounding human cloning and stem cell research cannot be answered without deciding what rights a human embryo has, and that cannot be decided without first deciding what human rights are and where they come from. In this philosophical essay (updated from controversial but popular public talks to university student, professional and community groups in 2002-2003), these questions are approached and answered in the context of a secular, objective theory of ethics and rights. Because of the nature of rights, embryos have no rights: and legal enforcement of such "rights"...

A panoramic overview of biotechnologies that can endlessly boost human capabilities and the drastic changes these "superhuman" traits could trigger. Biotechnology is moving fast. In the coming decades, advanced pharmaceuticals, bioelectronics, and genetic interventions will be used not only to heal the sick but to boost human physical and mental performance to unprecedented levels.

This feature by New York Times best-selling author Wendy Goldman Rohm first appeared on the cover of Wired magazine in January 2004. It is now available as a Kindle Single.

James T. Bradley introduces important biological principles and the basic procedures used in biotechnology. Various ethical issues - personhood, personal identity, privacy, ethnic discrimination, distributive justice, authenticity and human nature, and the significance of mortality in the human life cycle - are presented in a clear and unbiased manner.

From the Siberian permafrost to balmy California, scientists across the globe are working to resurrect all kinds of extinct animals, from ones that just left us to those that have been gone for many thousands of years. Their tools in this hunt are both fossils and cutting-edge genetic technologies. Some of these scientists are driven by sheer curiosity; others view the lost species as a powerful weapon in the fight to preserve rapidly changing ecosystems. It seems certain that these animals will walk the earth again, but what world will that give us? And is any of this a good idea?

If you think AI is the future, think again. In this groundbreaking book, renowned biomedical innovator Edmund J.B. White explores the revolutionary potential of organoid intelligence (OI)—the fusion of biology and technology that creates intelligence from living neurons. Imagine a layer of human brain cells barely the size of a fingernail learning to play Pong; this is the exciting reality OI presents. Discover ultra-efficient biocomputers, transformative medical breakthroughs, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding "living" computers. White delves into philosophical questions that ...

Certainly, some who claim to have found evidence of modern dinosaurs are manufacturing evidence, but just as many are simply describing what they saw, found, or witnessed. We need to dig deeper. There is a reason that people have seen dinosaurs in the recent past. There is a reason that most animals were said to be unclean-abominations to God as recognized in the Bible. This group included all reptiles. In other ancient records they are called miscreated animals and so many other ancient documents have similar claims. We can be pretty sure God wasn't upset with his own animals. There is a ...

Siamo nel 2083. Anna ha 110 anni, è ancora in gamba, ma inciampa in un tappeto e cade rompendosi il femore; resta distesa ad aspettare e nel giro di una decina di minuti potrà rialzarsi in piedi poiché il femore si è auto-riparato. Come è potuto accadere? Dall'anno 2070 gli ultracentenari assumono nano-particelle autoadesive che vanno a rimpiazzare una parte dei costituenti delle ossa.
