Let us go forth and safely multiply

Article Abstract:

Synthetic biology has potential benefits, such as the development of low-cost drugs or the production of chemicals and energy by engineered bacteria. It also needs to distinguish itself as a safe community effort that nurtures responsible practices and attitudes and each small step towards engineering enzymatic pathways for cheaper pharmaceuticals, smart biomaterials and large-scale integrated genetic circuits should be encouraged.

Studies of faith

Article Abstract:

The study attempts to explore the relationship between faith and advancing technology in the form of debate for which the concepts of nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, cloning, creationism, and genetic modification are focused. It concluded that efforts to establish rules on stem cells that transcend national spiritual boundaries have proved remarkably unsuccessful.
