Modern Biotechnology
10.1.3 GMO in the Philippines
10.1 GENETIC ENGINEERING

Genetic Engineering is one of the many tools


of biotechnology to produce novel or
improved organisms through direct gene
modification.

10.1.1 Overview

10.1.4 Ethical Issues


Classes of ethical concern:
Extrinsic- issues that are connected to the
application of genetic engineering
Intrinsic- issues that are raised with regards
to the process of genetic engineering

10.2 GENE CELL THEORY


10.1.2 Genetically Modified Gene therapy is the modification of an
Organisms organism’s gene.

Cell therapy - like gene therapy, transfers live


and intact cells to the patient. The cells may
come from a donor (allogeneic cells) or from
the patient, himself (autologous cells)
(American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy,
n.d.).
10.2.2 Gene Therapy

10.2.4 Cell Therapy

10.2.3 Stem Cells

Stem cells are at the forefront of both gene


therapy and cell therapy. Its ability to self-
renew and to mature into specialized cells of
each tissue provide the patient with a
therapeutic technique that potentially lasts
for a lifetime. 10.2.5 Ethical Issues
