Genetic Engineering Technology

21st is the century of life science and biotechnology. Modern bio-technology, as the core of genetic engineering, has been developed rapidly, which is used to solve the problems of resources, environments, agricultural and medical affairs, etc., and has played a very important role in our human ordinary life. However, the conflicts between biological genetic engineering techniques and ethics are inevitable. It is urgency to make out the ethic standard on genetic science. Issues about the social and ethical associated with genetic engineering technology must be understood clearly, and in the practice process of bio-technology, a series of complete legal, ethical, scientific policies, strict requirements and mechanisms should be establish, in order to promote the genetic technology to play positively.

In 1980 the first recombinant genetic engineering experiments on humans were performed. These experiments sparked a major controversy, international in scope and potentially profound in its implications for genetic science. We develop four perspectives—substantive, network, organizational, and societal—from which science can be seen as a process having differing social implication and meaning. The research and controversy are discussed with attention to the conflicts and their resolutions from each perspective and among them. Taken together, the four perspectives are used as a single basis for understanding the social processes involved in this case study and the more general workings of science.

Character inheritance or heredity is the inheritance of traits from parents to their children (offspring). The event or process by which a cell of an organism tends to become or possess the characteristics of its parents. The discovery of recombinant DNA opened up developments in genetic engineering. Genetic engineering technology provides a lot of hope for us in various areas of need including gene therapy efforts. Inheritance is the traits or traits of living things that are passed down from generation to generation or passed down from parent to offspring. The traits of a living being are inherited through male sex cells and female sex cells. Normal pigmented goldfish are mated with yellow-striped goldfish on the dorsal spine to produce 100% fish with yellow lines on the dorsal spine.

Applying ecocritical perspectives, this study examines and analyzes the impacts of genetic engineering under the dominance of corporate organizations in the era of globalization in Margaret Atwood’s fiction The Year of the Flood. The intrusion of genetic engineering in the age of globalization has been problematic because of the anthropocentric values of the corporate houses. In this context, this study argues that genetic engineering technology, if goes uncontrolled, is manipulated for corporate profit only, and raises serious risks to global biodiversity by promoting monoculture flora and fauna. Similarly, the study proves that the intense profit-making desire of the corporate world leads to global pandemic threatening the existence of natural organisms including humans. Members of the ‘God’s Gardeners’ in The Year of the Flood prepare themselves to be safe from the ‘Waterless Flood,’ a global pandemic that has been the result of uncontrolled experimentation of genetic engineering on food, animals and drug for corporate houses. The text, however, offers the possibilities of saving lives if genetic engineering is used from humanitarian perspectives. This research helps in understanding the role of economic activities in disturbing the global biodiversity. For the purpose of textual analysis, the study applies ecocritical perspectives of Vandana Shiva, Jeffery M. Smith, Claire Hope Cummings, and others with especial focus on “bioimperialism” as discussed by Shiva.
