  • Should This Dog Be Called Spot?
    SHOULD THIS DOG BE CALLED SPOT? Imagine this microscopic drama. A sperm cell from a male dog fuses with an egg cell from a female dog. Each dog’s gamete carries 39 chromosomes. The zygote that results from the fusion of the gametes contains 78 chromosomes – one set of 39 chromosomes from each parent. One pair of the zygote’s chromosomes is shown below. Chromosome from the female dog L T h A Chromosome from the male dog l T H a Each chromosome of the homologous pair contains alleles for the same traits. But one chromosome may have a dominant allele and the other may have a recessive allele. Use the drawing above and the table below to answer the questions.

    Breeding Critters—More Traits 9 INVESTIGATION 1–2 CLASS SESSIONS ACTIVITY OVERVIEW NGSS CONNECTIONS Students model and explain additional patterns of inheritance as they explore cause-and-effect relationships for additional traits of the critters. These patterns help them model and explain the wide variation that can result from sexual repro- duction. The activity provides an opportunity to assess student work related to Performance Expectation MS-LS3-2. NGSS CORRELATIONS Performance Expectations MS-LS3-2: Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Disciplinary Core Ideas MS-LS1.B Growth and Development of Organisms: Organisms reproduce, either sexually or asexually, and transfer their genetic information to their offspring. MS-LS3.A Inheritance of Traits: Variations of inherited traits between parent and offspring arise from genetic differences that result from the subset of chromosomes (and therefore genes) inherited. MS-LS3.B Variation of Traits: In sexually reproducing organisms, each parent contributes half of the genes acquired (at random) by the offspring. Individuals have two of each chromosome and hence two alleles of each gene, one acquired from each parent. These versions may be identical or may differ from each other.

  • Why We Should Create Artificial Offspring: Meaning and the Collective Afterlife
    Why we should create artificial offspring: meaning and the collective afterlife By John Danaher, NUI Galway Forthcoming in Science and Engineering Ethics This article argues that the creation of artificial offspring could make our lives more meaningful (i.e. satisfy more meaning-relevant conditions of value). By ‘artificial offspring’ is meant beings that we construct, with a mix of human and non-human-like qualities. Robotic artificial intelligences are paradigmatic examples of the form. There are two reasons for thinking that the creation of such beings could make our lives more meaningful. The first is that the existence of a collective afterlife — i.e. a set of human-like lives that continue in this universe after we die — is likely to be an important source and sustainer of meaning in our present lives (Scheffler 2013). The second is that the creation of artificial offspring provides a plausible and potentially better pathway to a collective afterlife than the traditional biological pathway (i.e. there are reasons to favour this pathway and there are no good defeaters to trying it out). Both of these arguments are defended from a variety of objections and misunderstandings. 1. Introduction This article defends an unusual thesis. An illustration might help. In season 3 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, in an episode entitled “The Offspring”, Lt. Commander Data (an artificial humanoid life-form) decides to create an artificial child of his own. He calls the child “Lal” and gives it the characteristics of a female human. The episode then tells the charming story of Data’s emerging bond with Lal, a bond which is threatened by a group of scientists who try to take her away and study her, and eventually leads to heartbreak as Lal “dies” due to a design fault (though not before Data downloads her memories into his own brain so that a part of her can live on).

  • Theatre Costume, Celebrity Persona, and the Archive
    Persona Studies 2019, vol. 5, no. 2 THEATRE COSTUME, CELEBRITY PERSONA, AND THE ARCHIVE EMILY COLLETT ABSTRACT This essay considers the archived costume in relation to the concept of the celebrity performer’s persona. It takes as its case study the Shakespearean costume of Indigenous actress Deborah Mailman, housed in the Australian Performing Arts Collection. It considers what the materiality of the theatre costume might reveal and conceal about a performer’s personas. It asks to what extent artefacts in an archive might both create a new persona or freezeframe a particular construct of a performer. Central to the essay are questions of agency in relation to the memorialisation of a still living actress and the problematisation of persona in terms of the archived object. Can a costume generate its own persona in relation to the actress? And what are the power dynamics involved in persona construction when an archived costume presents a charged narrative which is very different to the actress’s current construction of her persona? KEY WORDS Costume; Archive; Deborah Mailman; Indigenous; Memory; Shakespeare COSTUME IN THE ARCHIVE: A CHARGED OBJECT In this essay I consider the archived theatre costume in relation to persona studies and what the materiality of costume might reveal or conceal about the celebrity performer’s persona(s). Can an archived costume have its own persona? What complexities arise when the charged historical narrative of an archived costume is at odds with a current persona? And in the following case study of Deborah Mailman, what happens when the framing of a living Indigenous actress’s costume constructs a persona that is quite different to the one that the actress currently constructs for herself? A costume worn by a performer live on stage is remembered in particular ways – and many in the audience might focus more on the performer’s stance, physicality, and verbal prowess than what they are wearing.

  • Procreative Liberty and Harm to Offspring in Assisted Reproduction
    American Journal of Law & Medicine, 30 (2004): 7-40 © 2004 American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics Boston University School of Law Procreative Liberty and Harm to Offspring in Assisted Reproduction John A. Robertson† I. INTRODUCTION Assisted reproductive technologies (“ARTs”) have enabled many infertile couples to have children but have long been controversial.1 Opposition initially focused on the “unnaturalness” of laboratory conception and the doubts that healthy children would result. Once children were born, ethical debate shifted to the status and ownership of embryos and the novel forms of family that could result. The new century has brought forth both new and old ethical concerns. The growing capacity to screen the genomes of embryos has sparked fears of eugenic selection and alteration. In addition, concerns about safety have reasserted themselves. Several studies suggest that in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) may be associated with lower birth weights and major malformations. Ethical attention has also focused on whether all persons seeking ARTs should be granted access to them, regardless of their child-rearing ability, age, disability, health status, marital status, or sexual orientation. Concerns about the welfare of offspring resulting from ARTs cover a wide range of procedures and potential risks. In addition to physical risks from the techniques themselves, they include the risk of providing ART services to persons who could transmit infectious or genetic disease to offspring, such as persons with HIV or carriers of cystic fibrosis. Risks to offspring from inadequate parenting may arise if ARTs are provided to persons with mental illness or serious disability. Questions of offspring welfare also arise from the use of ARTs in novel family settings, such as surrogacy, the posthumous uses of gametes and embryos, or with single parents or a same sex couples.

  • Lack of Mother-Offspring Relationship in White-Tailed Deer Capture Groups
    Management and Conservation Note Lack of Mother–Offspring Relationships in White-Tailed Deer Capture Groups CHRISTOPHER S. ROSENBERRY,1 Pennsylvania Game Commission, Bureau of Wildlife Management, 2001 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, USA ERIC S. LONG,2 Pennsylvania Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA HEATHER M. HASSEL-FINNEGAN,3 Juniata College, Biology Department, 601 17th Street, Huntingdon, PA 16652, USA VINCENT P. BUONACCORSI, Juniata College, Biology Department, 601 17th Street, Huntingdon, PA 16652, USA DUANE R. DIEFENBACH, Pennsylvania Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA BRET D. WALLINGFORD, Pennsylvania Game Commission, Bureau of Wildlife Management, 2001 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, USA ABSTRACT Behavioral studies of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) often assign mother–offspring relationships based on common capture of juveniles with adult deer, assuming that fawns associate closely with mothers. We tested this assumption using genetic parentage to assess mother–offspring relationships within capture groups based on data from 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci. At the 80% confidence level, we assigned maternity to 43% and 51% of juveniles captured with an adult female in 2 respective study areas. Capture with their mother did not differ by sex of juveniles in either study area, and limiting our analysis to capture groups that most represent family groups (i.e., one ad F with 1–3 juv) did not increase maternity assignment (35%). Our results indicate that common capture may be a poor indicator of mother– offspring relationships in many field settings. We recommend genetic verification of family relationships.
