The hG-CSF (human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor) is a growth and stimulation factor capable of inducing the proliferation of bone marrow cells, several types of leukocytes, among other hematopoietic tissue cells. hG-CSF is used in used to treat anomalies that reder a small number of circulating white blood cells, which may compromise the immune defenses of the affected person. For these reasons, the production of hG-CSF in a bioreactor system using the mammary gland of genetic modified animals is a possibility of adding value to the bovine genetic material and reducing the costs of hG-CSF production in pharmaceutical industry. In this study, we aimed the production of transgenic hG-CSF bovine through the lipofection of bovine primary fibroblasts with an hG-CSF expression cassette and cloning these fibroblasts by the somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique. The bovine fibroblasts transfected with the hG-CSF cassette presented a stable insertion of this construct into their genome and were efficiently synchronized to G0/G1 cell cycle stage. The transgenic fibroblasts were cloned by SCNT and produced 103 transferred embryos and 2 pregnancies, one of which reached 7 months of gestation.

Humankind history is faced with one gigantic turning point due to development of Living genetically Modified Organisms. Food production by means of LMO is on the acceleration in an effort to solve the shortage of food problems. Food is also used as alternative energy source. Use of LMO product is not only limited to food and energy, but is actively utilized in various fields of medicines. This paper is first to check out the state of biomedicine developed and associated problems from industries that use LMO, after which we made an attempt on legislative approach to find out means of relief, through examples of such laws legislated for the sufferer from the adverse effect of the biomedicine. As for the liable subject to bear the responsibility for compensatory damage in a way of relieving the victim owing to adverse effect of biomedicine, those who manufactured and sold biomedicine and who are related to the damage to the victim due to the accident and medical doctors and pharmacists who prescribe and administer the medicine in question have been looked into. Accidents involving medicines and medical supplies could take place without reason for imputation on part of the liable subjects or fault of the victim, in which case the victim can't receive damage compensation from any of both parties. When such accidents happened turn out to be no fault accidents, introduction of damage relief measures might have to be reviewed against side effects of medicine and medical supplies as no fault compensation in order for actual relief to be possible. Talking about technicality of legislation, we can suggest a method of strengthening the accountability of manufacturer for stereotypical agenda on biomedicines by newly legislating special regulation with an issue that resists claim on risks associated with the development of medicine and incorporating the same into Manufactured Product Liability Law. After all, when an accident happens associated with biomedicine, the damage will be done to the consumer. And the consumer will be exposed to fatal danger even without the time to cope with potential risks associated with medicine and medical supplies they take. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the potential victim by having the manufacturer of biomedicines bear the liability of medical risks.

지난 2008년 유전자변형생물체 관련 법이 공식 발효된 이후 연간 평균 일천만톤 정도의 유전자변형 옥수수, 콩, 면실, 카놀라 등이 수입되고 7개 작목에서 약 191건에 대한 수입 승인 절차가 진행되었다. 이중 후대교배종을 제외한 약 90건은 인체, 작물재배환경, 자연생태환경, 해양수산환경의 4개 분야의 협의심사를 통한 위해성심사가 수행되었다. 해외에서 생산된 유전자변형작물을 한국으로 수출하는 주요 이해 당사자인 개발사들은 협의심사의 절차적 비효율성, 위해성 평가의 본질에서 벗어난 협의기관의 관점이 반영된 심사, 식품사료가공용 용도에 맞지않는 과도한 심사, 친숙성과 실질적동등성을 반영하지 아니한 한국 특이적인 보완자료 요구 등의 문제를 제기하였다. 이에 대하여 협의심사를 담당하는 부처/기관은 국내로 알곡 형태로 수입되는 유전자변형작물의 빈번한 비의도적 환경방출 사례를 근거로 한국의 기후와 자연환경을 반영한 심사가 필요함을 주장하였다. 또한 협의심사를 담당하는 부처는 국제적 지침에 따라서 위해성 평가의 원칙과 방법에 근거하여 소관 부처의 전문성을 반영하는 심사를 수행함을 주장하였다. 본 논문은 이들 유전자 변형작물이 식품, 사료(농업), 또는 가공(산업) 용도로 수입되는 친숙한 농업 작물으로 안전하게 이용된 사실에 근거하여, 논란이 되어온 농업용 용도에 해당되는 위해성평가 세부 몇개 항목에 대해 합리적인 대안을 제시하고자 하였다. 이러한 대안들이 현재의 LMO법 규정의 범위 내에서 주요이해당사자의 이해충돌을 완화할 수 있는 현실적인 대안이 되기를 기대한다.

The prefix 'bio' with the meaning of 'life,' has been used for biotechnology, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedicine, bioethics, bio-information as well as 'bio art' since 1990s. Bio art is an art as life itself and a kind of new direction in contemporary art that manipulates the processes of life. Bio artists use the properties of life and materials as scientists in laboratory of biology, and change organisms within their own species, of invents life with new characteristics. Technologically and socio-culturally, bio art has been connected with bioengineering. This essay is on the bio art that use vegetables, and on the specified gaze of so-called 'Sci-Artists.' Not only the genetically modified vegetables like works of George Gessert, Ackroyd & Harvey, and Eduardo Kac, but also the works made from the critical viewpoint like those of Paul Vanouse, Natalie Jeremijenko, and Amy Youngs, have 'the molecular gaze'(Suzanne Anker and Dorothy Nelkin's concept) of the genetic age in their art works. As the art history have showed, artists' gazes have insights about social problems that surround us. Bioartists' gazes reveal their insights about social and ethical problems, possibly concealed by science itself. Those problems are about results from practical discoveries of the sequencing of the genome, genetic engineering, cloning and reproduction of human and animals, body transformation, and the commercialization of cell and genes etc. We can find the significance of bioart in the molecular gaze about those problems, and we can rethink the identity of human, the reception of social influences from bio-technology and medicine.

A drought-tolerant transgenic rice (Agb0103) was developed using a pepper methionine sulfoxide reductase (CaMsrB2) under the control of rice Rab21 promoter with a selection marker, the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) gene. Commercialization of genetically modified (GM) crops will require the evaluation of risks associated with the release of GM crops. With the potential problems associated to GM crops safety testing, the investigation of their effects on non-target organisms is necessary for environmental risk research. This study was carried out to assess acute toxicity of a GM crop using the water flea (Daphnia magna) for non-target organism risk evaluation. The effect of acute toxicity on Daphnia magna of Agb0103 rice and a non-GM rice, Ilmibyeo, were investigated at different concentrations (0, 625, 1,250, 2,500, 5,000, and 10,000 mg/L). The Agb0103 rice used for the test was confirmed to express the CaMsrB2/PAT gene by the PCR and ELISA. Daphnia magna feeding tests showed no significant differences in cumulative immobility or abnormal response with either Agb0103 rice or non-GM rice. The 48hr-EC50 values showed no difference between Agb0103 rice (2243 mg/L) and non-GM rice (2694 mg/L). These results suggest that there is no significant difference in toxicity to Daphnia magna between Agb0103 rice and its non-GM counterpart.

현대사회에서 과학기술은 긍정성과 부정성의 양면을 지니고 있다. 과학기술의 긍정성에만 초점을 맞추는 사장들은 과학기술에 대한 사회적 수용성을 강조하는 반면, 과학기술의 부정성에만 초점을 맞추는 사람들은 과학기술에 대한 사회적 통제를 강조하는 경향이 있다. 그러나 본 논문은 이처럼 과학기술에 대한 사회적 수용과 통제를 상호 배타적인 것으로 보는 기계적 대립구도를 무너뜨리고 양자를 유기적 연관을 가지는 것으로 파악하고자 한다. 즉, 본 논문은 과학기술에 대한 진정한 의미의 사회적 수용성은 과학기술에 대한 일반 시민들의 광범위한 참여에 기반한 공공적 토론을 통해 사회적 통제를 행사함으로써 증진될 수 있다고 보는 것이다. 물론 이처럼 사회적 통제를 거친 다음에 수용되는 과학기술은 원래의 그것과는 내용과 형태 둥에 있어 다소 달라질 수 있는데, 이는 사회적 통제가 과학기술을 재구성하는 역할을 하기 때문이다. 이러한 문제의식에서 본 논문은 우리나라에서도 지난 1990년대 중반 이후부터 사회적으로 격렬한 논란거리가 되어 온 생명공학 분야, 특히 유전자변형 작물과 생명복제 문제를 사례로 하여 과학기술을 둘러싼 사회적 논쟁과 시민사회단체들의 활동들을 과학기술의 사회적 통제와 수용성의 연계라는 점에서 분석하고 있다.

In nature, plant diseases, insects and parasites (hereafter called as "pest") must be co-survived. The most common expression of co-survival of a host crop to the pest can be tolerance. With tolerance, chemical uses can be minimized and it protects environment and sustains host productivity and the minimum pest survival. Tolerance can be applicable in all living organisms including crop plants, lifestocks and even human beings. Tolerant system controls pest about 90 to 95% (this pest control system often be called as horizontal or partial resistance), while the use of chemicals or selection of high resistance controls pest 100% (the most expression of this control system is vertical resistance or true resistance). Controlling or eliminating the pests by either chemicals or vertical resistance create new problems in nature and destroy the co-survial balance of pest and host. Controlling pests through tolerance can only permit co-survive of pests and hosts. Tolerance is durable and environmentally-friend. Crop cultivars based on tolerance system are different from those developed by genetically modified organism (GMO) system. The former stabilizes genetic balance of a pest and a host crop in nature while the latter destabilizes the genetic balance due to 100% control. For three decades, the author has implemented the tolerance system in breeding maize cultivars against various pests in both tropical and temperate environments. Parasitic weed Striga species known as the greatest biological problem in agriculture has even been controlled through this system. The final effect of the tolerance can be an integrated genetic pest management (IGPM) without any chemical uses and it makes co-survival of pests in nature.in nature.

유전자 변형 작물은 생산성 측면에서 많은 장점이 있지만 이를 섭취할 경우 잠재적인 위험 요소들에 의해 많은 문제가 대두대고 있다. 본 연구는 저항성유전자를 이입한 배추에서 Profillin, Tubulin-${\alpha}$ (Tub-${\alpha}1$), Heat-shock protein (Bchsp 17.6) and Ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (UBE)의 발현과 이를 30일간 섭취한 마우스에서 ${\beta}$-actin(${\beta}$-act), ${\beta}$-2-microglobulin (B2m), Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and ${\beta}$-glucuronidase (Gus)의 발현 정도를 RT-PCR을 통해 알아보았다. 실험 결과 저항성유전자를 이입한 배추와 그렇지 않은 배추의 유전자 발현 패턴은 큰 차이를 보이지 앓았으며, 이를 섭취한 마우스 장기에서도 발현에 따른 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았다.
