Download or read book The New Eugenics written by Judith Daar and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative examination of how unequal access to reproductive technology replays the sins of the eugenics movement Eugenics, the effort to improve the human species by inhibiting reproduction of “inferior” genetic strains, ultimately came to be regarded as the great shame of the Progressive movement. Judith Daar, a prominent expert on the intersection of law and medicine, argues that current attitudes toward the potential users of modern assisted reproductive technologies threaten to replicate eugenics’ same discriminatory practices. In this book, Daar asserts how barriers that block certain people’s access to reproductive technologies are often founded on biases rooted in notions of class, race, and marital status. As a result, poor, minority, unmarried, disabled, and LGBT individuals are denied technologies available to well-off nonminority heterosexual applicants. An original argument on a highly emotional and important issue, this work offers a surprising departure from more familiar arguments on the issue as it warns physicians, government agencies, and the general public against repeating the mistakes of the past.

Download or read book New Technologies in Animal Breeding written by B G Brackett and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Technologies in Animal Breeding looks at new reproductive technologies in breeding domestic animals, such as sex selection, frozen storage of oocytes and embryos, in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, amphibian nuclear transplantation, parthenogenesis, identical twins and cloning in mammals, and gene transfer in mammalian cells. It summarizes the state-of-the art and offers perspectives on future directions for several animal industries of great importance in food production, including artificial insemination, embryo transfer, poultry breeding, and aquaculture. Organized into five sections encompassing 14 chapters, this book begins with an overview of animals in society and perspectives on animal breeding. It then discusses the animal industries that are heavily dependent on reproductive technology, including those engaged in cloning, selfing, aquaculture, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer. It also explains the developing technologies as well as their potential applications and impacts on animal production, along with special economic considerations, such as the benefits of reproductive management, synchronization of estrus, and artificial insemination of beef cattle and sheep. The final chapter considers biomedical and agricultural research, implementation of new technologies in animal breeding, and research in animal reproduction. This book is an essential reference for scientists and researchers interested in animal science and animal reproduction.

This book was released on 2004-07-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assists policymakers in evaluating the appropriate scientific methods for detecting unintended changes in food and assessing the potential for adverse health effects from genetically modified products. In this book, the committee recommended that greater scrutiny should be given to foods containing new compounds or unusual amounts of naturally occurring substances, regardless of the method used to create them. The book offers a framework to guide federal agencies in selecting the route of safety assessment. It identifies and recommends several pre- and post-market approaches to guide the assessment of unintended compositional changes that could result from genetically modified foods and research avenues to fill the knowledge gaps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low Maintenance Cricket Breeding is finally a Reality!! The number one reason 98% of people give up breeding crickets after a few months, is they choose the wrong breeding method. Most people use conventional methods which require constant spraying, feeding and cleaning….and simple give up as it’s too much effort. To make things worse, pests take over due to lack of maintenance and the whole system crashes. These methods are better suited commercial production…not feeding one or two bearded dragons. Our low maintenance systems are very different with automated feeding and water stations; a detritus collection system that does the maintenance for you; along with a number of other innovations… The result is smarter low maintenance, consistent and productive breeding methods for both private and commercial applications. The reality is that crickets can now be bred with less time than standing in line at your pet store. Now there is a true alternative which makes cricket breeding available to everyone!! WHY OUR METHODS ARE VERY DIFFERERENT After more than a decade of commercial production and experimentation, we have pioneered revolutionary techniques that have slashed maintenance, eliminated offensive odor and doubled production. How would you like automated systems that ; • Needs no active management; • Collects waste for you; • Requires only 5 minutes maintenance every 7-10 days (less time than standing in line at the pet store) • Food/ water dispensers that attends to your insects for 14 days or more; • Systems so productive that the average family will be able to feed 4-12 bearded dragons (depending of insect feeding rate) just from their scrap vegetables; • That’s over $1400 each year completely free…. good income for the family or teach your kids to build their own business. • Best of all they are easy to build, and materials are made from recycled materials or from your hardware. Breeding your own feeder insects has never been easier with the world’s most comprehensive and well researched feeder insects guides (with hundreds of photos), complementary Skype video training along with Email support. Our methods are also available on video at a click of a button. (full details on our website www.wildlifehub.com). HOW DO OUR SYSTEMS WORK... In a nut shell, we have created two separate zones within a single container (conventional techniques require up to 6 separate containers); one high humidity area ideal for breeding; and a lower humidity area for housing and food/water. We have also developed a unique detritus collection system which collects the waste and prevents contamination of breeding substrate and food areas. This makes cleaning a breeze, eliminates odor and disease, increases egg viability and increases cricket production. We have water/food dispersers which do the feeds for you, even when your on holidays! Unlike other methods which need to be actively managed (daily spraying, and moving pinheads to new containers) our systems run themselves ?. And our cockroach breeding systems are equally unique at reducing maintenance and smells (also available on Amazon). Now you can breed both species with ease. THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDES... This manual sets the benchmark for cricket production and contains more than 164 pages (240 color photos) that cover’s every aspect of private and commercial production in detail. That’s more than twice the size of any other book on the market. We have overhauled every aspect of cricket production including; container design, breeding, food and water requirements; making food and water dispensers; heating/storage; maintenance/pest management, cleaning; grading/selling, lots and lots more. COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE…Turn an Expense Into Income!! We have bred crickets and cockroaches commercially for 10 years to wildlife parks, zoos, pet stores, wildlife rescue clubs, and...

Book excerpt: "Noel Kingsbury reveals that even those imaginary perfect foods are themselves far from anything that could properly be called natural, rather, they represent the end of a millennia-long history of selective breeding and hybridization. Starting his story at the birth of agriculture, Kingsbury traces the history of human attempts to make plants more reliable, productive, and nutritiousa story that owes as much to accident and error as to innovation and experiment. Drawing on historical and scientific accounts, as well as a rich trove of anecdotes, Kingsbury shows how scientists, amateur breeders, and countless anonymous farmers and gardeners slowly caused the evolutionary pressures of nature to be supplanted by those of human needs and thus led us from sparse wild grasses to succulent corn cobs, and from mealy, white wild carrots to the juicy vegetables we enjoy today. At the same time, Kingsbury reminds us that contemporary controversies over the Green Revolution and genetically modified crops are not new, plant breeding has always had a political dimension."--Publisher's description.
