…to be enriched. For example, cloning provides scientists a method to engineer cows to produce certain medicines or enzymes in there milk. The Company Infigen Inc. says, “Cloned cows will be producing human drugs here within five years, under a plan by scientists…

…bacterial populations. It also makes bacteria favorites of molecular biologists and genetic engineers; new genes can be inserted into bacteria with ease. Bacteria do not contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria or chloroplasts, as eukaryotes do…

…MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASES The mitochondrion is the energy manufacturer of the cell. It is equivalent to the engine of a car. These tiny biological machines combine the food we eat with oxygen to produce energy to keep our bodies going. The energy produced…

…research for a variety of reasons. They are plentiful, and they breed easily. They are physiologically similar enough to a human that is why “pig valves are currently used in heart surgery, with plans for genetically engineered transgenic pigs to provide hearts…

…Tremendous advances in knowledge and medical technology have been made over the past century. Major breakthroughs in the field of medicine and engineering have produced more new equipment and procedures than ever before. The problem is that with all…

…is it possible, how could they know? How could their symbol of the entwined serpents, that we still use today to denote medicine and healing and biology, be 6,000 years ago; the symbol of Enki, who engaged in genetic engineering to bring about the Adam…
