Project Type IQP Submission date 2008-08-31 Authors Travis J Abele, CM Michelle Miller, BB URN E-project-083108-021836 Division Health Care and Technology Title Transgenic Animals Advisor Adams, David S., BB Availability unrestricted Abstract
This project examined the methods of creating transgenic animals, the reasons for doing so, and the effect of this controversial new technology on society via ethical and legal issues. A detailed description of what a transgenic animal is, how they are created, and their use in society today and in the future was followed by how transgenic animals have already provided much societal benefit, including information on human diseases, drugs to save human lives, and knowledge of the biological function of newly discovered proteins. Transgenic technology should have a positive impact on society as long as animal suffering is kept at a minimum and used solely for the purpose of helping humans.
