High impact information on Genetic Enhancement

  • Genetic enhancement of inflammatory pain by forebrain NR2B overexpression [1].
  • Genetic enhancement of fracture repair: healing of an experimental segmental defect by adenoviral transfer of the BMP-2 gene [2].
  • Genetic enhancement of ventricular contractility protects against pressure-overload-induced cardiac dysfunction [3].
  • In this article I critically examine Adam Moore's claim that the threshold for overriding intangible property rights and privacy rights is higher, in relation to genetic enhancement techniques and sensitive personal information, than is commonly suggested [4].
  • In this essay, I argue that Mark Hanson's account of anxiety provides a valuable starting point for addressing deficiencies in the current philosophical and legal debate, and it highlights the need for a theological discourse on genetic enhancements [5].
 

Gene context of Genetic Enhancement

  • One of the most commonly cited examples of enhancement genetic engineering is insertion of the growth hormone (GH) gene into a medically normal child [6].
