195 "... biological engineers..."<br />

"Biomedical engineering is an application of engineering principles <strong>and</strong> design to<br />

challenges in human health <strong>and</strong> medicine. Bioengineering is related to Biological<br />

Engineering, the latter including applications of engineering principles to the full spectrum of<br />

living systems, from microbes <strong>and</strong> plants to ecosystems. Bioengineering exploits new<br />

developments in molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, <strong>and</strong> neurosciences as well<br />

as sensing, electronics, <strong>and</strong> imaging, <strong>and</strong> applies them to the design of medical devices,<br />

diagnostic equipment, biocompatible materials, <strong>and</strong> other important medical needs.<br />

Bioengineering couples engineering expertise with knowledge in biological sciences such as<br />

genetics, molecular biology, protein chemistry, cytology, neurobiology, immunology,<br />

physiology, <strong>and</strong> pharmacology. Bioengineers work closely with, but are not limited to,<br />

medical doctors <strong>and</strong> other health professionals to develop technical solutions to current <strong>and</strong><br />

emerging health concerns.<br />

Bioengineering is not limited to the medical field. Bioengineers have the ability to exploit new<br />

opportunities <strong>and</strong> solve problems within the domain of complex systems. <strong>The</strong>y have a great<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing of living systems as complex systems which can be applied to many fields<br />

including entrepreneurship."<br />

animal was introduced into the actual planetary environment for final testing. "<br />

"<strong>The</strong> basic ideals of Eugenics can be found from the beginnings of Western civilization. <strong>The</strong><br />

philosophy was most famously expounded by Plato, who believed human reproduction<br />

should be monitored <strong>and</strong> controlled by the state. <strong>The</strong> basic eugenic principle from Plato’s<br />

<strong>The</strong> Republic was, “<strong>The</strong> best men must have intercourse with the best women as frequently<br />

as possible, <strong>and</strong> the opposite is true of the very inferior.<br />

However, Plato understood this form of government control would not be readily accepted,<br />

<strong>and</strong> proposed the truth be concealed from the public via a fixed lottery. Mates, in Plato’s<br />

Republic, would be chosen by a “marriage number” in which the quality of the individual<br />

would be quantitatively analyzed, <strong>and</strong> persons of high numbers would be allowed to<br />

procreate with other persons of high numbers. In theory, this would lead to predictable<br />

results <strong>and</strong> the improvement of the human race. However, Plato acknowledged the failure of<br />

the “marriage number” since “gold soul” persons could still produce “bronze soul” children.<br />

This might have been one of the earliest attempts to mathematically analyze genetic<br />

inheritance, which was not perfected until the development of Mendelian genetics <strong>and</strong> the<br />

mapping of the human genome.<br />

Other ancient civilizations, such as Rome <strong>and</strong> Sparta, practiced infanticide as a form of<br />

phenotypic selection. In Sparta, newborns were inspected by the city's elders, who decided<br />

the fate of the infant. If the child was deemed incapable of living, it was usually thrown from<br />

the Taygetus mountain. It was more common for girls than boys to be killed this way. Trials<br />
