Homeopathy Conventional medicine versus alternative medicine has been one of the major debated issues for the past century, and still is. Many studies conducted, many procedures performed and many experiments at hand, yet no answer is available. As a result, the only answer that can be given is a subjective one, of course bearing in mind the diminutive evidence obtainable. Homeopathy,

Human Cloning On February 22, 1996, Ian Wilmut brought cloning of animals to our attention, when the first animal was successfully cloned, on that history-making day the cloned sheep named Dolly was born. Wilmut took a cell from the udder of a six-year -old ewe and sparked a jolt of electricity to fuse it to the egg of another sheep, which was then implanted into a third female. The only

Human Genome Project Human Genome Project The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international 13 year effort that began in October of 1990. The main objective of the project is to map the entire human DNA sequence. The project was planned to last 15 years, but rapid technological advances have moved the completion date to 2003.

Human Genome Project The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international research effort to decipher the entire human genome and understand the unique hereditary instructions that each person possesses. The HGP is a jointly funded project by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with additional research done by the National (NHGRI). The project

Infectious diseases are worldwide problem requiring worldwide attention. Infectious diseases can weaken the stren

Infinite Energy “Infinite” Energy “All my worries about nuclear energy, said Teller, the full realization that it was coming, and coming very soon, and that it would be very dangerous, date back to that time in March 1939, when I was interrupted in the middle of a Mozart sonata.” (Blumberg 87) . Teller, who played a main role in the discovery of nuclear energy, was playing one of his

Inner Planets Inner Planets Mercury It is the planet closest to the sun. Its nearest point to the sun is 29 million miles and the maximum distance is 43 million miles away. Mercury's surface contains rough, porous, dark-colored rock. Spectroscopic studies say that only a very thin atmosphere, containing sodium and potassium, exists on Mercury. Mercury has been hit by so many comets a

Ice Ages ABSTRACT This paper is an overview of the more popular theories for the occurrence of ice ages. No consensus has been reached to definitely explain the causes for ice ages, but four theories are detailed here. Reduction of CO2, volcanoes, continental changes, and earth’s orbital changes are theories that will be discussed. There are many more theories that could be describe

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Scientific Description Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is one method of human egg fertilization, involving the injection of one sperm cell into an egg cell. Sperm must be collected and prepared by washing off the seminal plasma and running the sperm through a special filter to identify the best quality sperm.
