scripture, Davis wishes for Christians to have a biblical voice. Davis’ chapter on The Genetic Revolution is no different. Furthermore, Davis first provides the reader with a historical background on genetic technology and then with a Christian framework for ethical decisions surrounding the issues of genetic engineering.

particular desirable characteristics and used these as a seed source for subsequent generations, resulting in an accumulation of characteristics over time. Farmer crops are cultivated for grain, forage, fiber, oil and other products that have commercial importance. The yield and the excellent market value with increased nutrition is the direct concern to the farmer. Within the environment better and good quality plants may result from the improvement in heredity of the crop. Hereditary improvements in crop

With all these various services, hospitals have been able to generate essential information for research, expertise, education and management.

million tonnes in the 42 million hectare area (FAOSTAT, 2012). Asia is the leader in rice production accounting for about 90% of the world’s production. Over 75% of the world supply is consumed by people in Asian countries and thus rice is of immense importance to food security of Asia. More importantly, India is the second largest producer after China while it covers the largest area under rice cultivation. Rice has been cultivated worldwide in 163Mha under a wide range of agro-climatic conditions between

For instance, educational institutions are structured to enhance individual achievement, and there are also a lot of sayings, e.g. “You have no one blame but yourself” to state the importance of individualism.
