...level. But this knowledge can make people feel more powerless than empowered. Gene-testing can tell us we're disposed to diseases we can't cure. Medical science can promise amazing treatments while rendering health care unaffordable. Bioengineered agriculture can splice a bouillabaisse's worth of fish DNA into a tomato. Fringe taps into this unease: If we are what we eat--well, what the hell...
...link to an era of government hubris, but in the 17 years since he was first locked up, conspiracy has been privatized. He's also a kind of devil's advocate, with the eccentric glee he takes in the investigations, bringing a cow into his lab (its DNA is similar to a human's) and proposing risky experiments with Strangelovian brio. Mad science never looked...
...also CSI.) This is especially true when it comes to the bioscience conundrums that make Fringe's sci-fi so literally intimate. On this new X-Files, the truth is not just out there. It's in here--encrypted in our bodies, under our skin, in our very DNA. If only we could figure out what we are trying to tell ourselves...
...fallible justice system remains, the death penalty will be an unjust means of punishing criminals. Three primary, practical arguments exist against a state-imposed death penalty. First, the finality of the death penalty undermines procedural considerations and the possibility of revisiting new evidence. Since the introduction of DNA testing, 200 individuals who were convicted of violent crimes have been exonerated in the U.S. Although this figure may seem small, only cases with biological evidence that was still “intact” could be reviewed, and many prior convictions have yet to be revisited. According a recent study...
Huangfu acknowledged that more rigorous testing needs to be done, but said that the chemical used in this research does not cause any known changes in the cells’ DNA...
