Chapter 60 Title: Genetic Information: Epistemological And Ethical Issues Quote:

Chapter 60 Title: Genetic Information: Epistemological and Ethical Issues Quote: “Maynard Smith’s analogy between the genetic code and human0designed codes is too apparent to require a justification.” Expectations: I expect to learn more about genetic information and why it is similar to computers and ethical issues. Book Review: Generally,

genetics

has

developed

many

concepts

from

informatics and these concepts are illustrated in two different levels. Basically, genetics has taken the very notion of information in the field of informatics. To discuss with a high definition, molecular biologists claim that cells and molecules are machinery similar to computers and it contains useful devices to build a unique biological beings starting from the information stored in a DNA.

This chapter also talks about

the concept of information and the notion of genetic information. Base on Maynard Smith, he discussed that the cell and egg are the computer machinery that keeps them alive and useful. There are also ethical problems in genetic information. Things I have learned: I have learned how to define computers in a high and basic definition. Integrity Questions: 1. Who is Antonio Marturano? 2. Why are computers similar from genetics?

3. Explain the genetics in a most basic and high definition. 4. What is the concept of information? 5. What is the notion of genetic information?
