Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues Bibliography 1995 Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues Bibliography Publications Prior to 1995 This edition of the DOE ELSI Bibliography provides a resource for identifying publications prior to 1995 on the major topics related to the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) surrounding the availability of personal genetic information. There are 6516 records, two-thirds of which are books and articles in the academic and professional literature. The remaining entries are news articles, mostly from major newspapers and science journals.1 1.

  • Charles Robert Cantor (1942- ) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Charles Robert Cantor (1942- ) [1] By: Abboud, Alexis Keywords: Sequenom [2] non-invasive prenatal genetic testing [3] Charles Robert Cantor helped sequence the human genome [4], and he developed methods to non-invasively determine the genes [5] in human fetuses. Cantor worked in the US during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His early research focused on oligonucleotides, small molecules of DNA or RNA. That research enabled the development of a technique that Cantor subsequently used to describe nucleotide sequences of DNA, a process called sequencing, in humans [6]. Cantor was the principal scientist for the Human Genome Project, for which scientists sequenced the entirety of the human genome [4] in 2003. Afterwards, Cantor became the chief scientific officer for Sequenom Inc., a company that provided non-invasive prenatal genetic testing. Such tests use a pregnant woman's blood to identify genetic mutations in a fetus [7] during the first trimester [8] of pregnancy [9]. Cantor was born on 26 August 1942 to Ida Dianne and Louis Cantor in Brooklyn, New York. As a high school student, he participated in a science program for high school seniors administered by Columbia University [10] in New York, New York. Afterwards, Cantor attended Columbia for his undergraduate degree. While there, Cantor took a course in population genetics taught by Richard Lewontin. Cantor later reported that the course and Lewontin influenced him to pursue biology. Cantor graduated from Columbia in 1963 with his degree. He then pursued doctoral studies in physical chemistry under Ignacio Tinoco Jr.

Sexual Orientation LOQ 11-10 What has research taught us about sexual orientation? To motivate is to energize and direct behavior. So far, we have considered the energiz- ing of sexual motivation but not its direction, which is our sexual orientation—our enduring sexual attraction toward members of our own sex (homosexual orientation), the other sex (heterosexual orientation), or both sexes (bisexual orientation). Most people fall into one of the first two categories (Norris et al., 2015). We experience this attrac- tion in our interests, thoughts, and fantasies (who’s that person in your imagination?). As explained in Chapter 4, sexual ori- Cultures vary in their attitudes toward same-sex attractions. “Should society accept entation is distinct from gender iden- homosexuality?” Yes, say 88 percent of Spaniards and 1 percent of Nigerians, with tity (including transgender identity). women everywhere being more accepting than men (Pew, 2013b). Yet whether a cul- ture condemns or accepts same-sex unions, heterosexuality prevails and bisexuality and homosexuality exist. In most African countries, same-sex relationships are illegal. Yet the ratio of lesbian, gay, or bisexual people “is no different from other countries in the rest of the world,” reports the Academy of Science of South Africa (2015). What is more, same-sex activity spans human history.

Sexualities A Fashion for Self-Fashioning Most everyone in the Commonwealth, Europe, or North America can tell you what they are gay, straight, bisexual, bicurious. The categories of sexual identity subdivide as their capacity to designate fails some individuals. In our current context, it seems natural that everyone has a sexual identity; indeed, we feel a certain amount of pity toward those who disclaim a sexual identity, and relieved when those who held one at odds with our own perception of them finally ‘come out’ as whatever they have determined themselves truly to be. But how did it happen that something so clearly variable across cultures, places, times, and even individual life spans should be taken as not only a natural possession of each individual psyche but also universal? Sexual identity may be the example par excellence of the research object constituted by its own investigation, or in this case, doubly constituted; it is almost impossible to talk about sexual identity without also talking about sexuality, an object of study necessitated by investigation of the elusive category, desire, and its tawdry side kick, practice.

  • THE GENE WARS PT 6.Pdf 7.4 Mb
    Epilogue T I HE JANUARY 1,1993, issue of Science announced that Francis S. JL Collins of the University of Michigan had agreed to direct the NIH genome program,1 confirming rumors that had persisted since midsum- mer. Collins agreed to join NIH on condition that a significant intramural genome research capacity be created on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Mary- land, so he would not have to give up active laboratory work. Collins agreed to make the move despite a cut in pay and the disruption of one of the most secure scientific empires in human genetics. Several members of his group, including himself, were funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. This highly prestigious and financially stable base was buttressed by an NIH- funded genome research center linked to the University of Michigan. The University of Michigan combined one of the best state-supported universities with a medical school that had chosen soon after World War II to emphasize human genetics. Stanford geneticist David Botstein, for one, be- lieved that his unusually broad and deep training at Michigan—with exposure to excellent molecular biology and world-class human genetics, including pop- ulation genetics—gave him the requisite background to prepare him for the 1978 insight about the importance of a human genetic linkage map.2 Con- struction of just such a map helped spawn the revolution in human genetics that began in the 1980s. Why would Collins leave such an enviable position to direct a federal program? His answer: "Because there is only one human genome program. It will only happen once, and this is that moment in history.
