Document Summary

Losing a battle is important to a nation take it to the heart. All armies are militia: no professional soldiers, militia is a citizen army (citizens farmers, land ownership//residents//slaves helots, they are amateurs. One wages war in spring or early autumn: weather conditions affect sea; ships cannot sail at specific times. Homer and heroic battles are best image of culture fantasy, yet. Hero: rich, aristocrat, escorted in battle, driven by chariots, fight duels. Aristocratic ideal (hero vs hero equal ranks) General melee fight: mass of confusion within random warriors of both sides, big brawl, hand on hand combat, close combat. The tropaion: defeat enemy; take goods and set up a turning point (meaning trophy) The hoplite: heavy infantry, dress like medieval soldier heavily dressed, aristocrat = safe (covered from head to toe) They would fight in the front, due to the fact that they are hardest to kill due to their full armor cover: oligarchic government.

Gene drives are systems of biased inheritance that enhance a genetic element's ability to pass from parent organism to offspring. With the advent of new, more efficient, and targeted geneÂediting techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, gene modifications can, in principle, be spread throughout a population of living organisms intentionally and quickly via a gene drive, circumventing traditional rules of inheritance and greatly increasing the odds that an altered gene spreads throughout a population.

Gene drive works by harnessing the power of siteÂspecific selfish genes known as homing endonuclease genes (HEGs). When a gene is part of an HEG construct, it can be passed on nearly 100% of the time, not just 50% of the time, favoring the propagation of the gene, even if it confers little or no survival advantage.

Gene drives have the potential to address public health threats, conservationÂrelated issues, agricultural pests, and other challenges. For example, gene drives might be developed to modify organisms that carry infectious diseases. In agriculture, a gene drive might be used to control or alter organisms that damage crops or carry crop disease. Yet gene drives could also lead to unintended and even dire circumstances. For example, the uncontrolled release of gene driveâmodified organisms could disrupt nonÂtarget species or lead to the establishment of a second, more resistant invasive species.

Give an informed opinion on the advisability of how rapidly (if at all) CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Drive technology should progress. Should the government regulate the application of this technology?
