IVF In February I was able to spend the day in an operating room at University of Colorado Hospital. The Advanced Reproductive Medicine Department allowed me to view an oocyte retrieval, and then later see the eggs fertilized by the sperm in the laboratory. The patient had been attempting pregnancy for eight years with her spouse, she was 38 years of age, and had been infected with Hep

Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering is the alteration of genetic code by artificial means, and is therefore different from traditional selective breeding. Genetic engineering examples include taking the gene that programs poison in the tail of a scorpion, and combining it with a cabbage. These genetically modified cabbages kill caterpillars because they have learned to grow scorpio

A Glimpse Into Albinism A Glimpse into Albinism Physiological changes have been taking place ever since the first organisms appeared on Earth. These changes have led to the tremendous variation we see in modern humans today. To try and explain these differences, scientists use human fossil remains as well as other primate remains to trace evolutionary similarities. Important field

Cloning Genetic engineering and the idea of cloning has been an issue that has been in controversy within the past few years. This problematizes ideas about where babies come from. As a child, I was taught how babies where born and as I grew older I learned in depth about the creation process of a human being. Now scientists are coming up with another way to make babies. True this m

Races And Genetics Races and Genetics According to Blauner the similarities in white and black perceptions are.. Whites focus historically on negative black behaviors; 86% disagreed with the Rodney King trial verdict, see race as an _expression of racial conduct; don’t see it as a as some larger pattern of racism (institutionalized or not); see racism in the past (not the present!);

Lake Vostok The Exploration of Lake Vostok The world has all sorts of places to explore. For example, Lake Vostok, an isolated lake less than 5 kilometers of ice, underneath the eastern ice sheet of Antarctica, is one such place. Russian Scientists discovered this lake, when they were flying over some of the terrain of Antarctica. In the beginning; however, the Russians thought it woul

Chromatography Chromatography is a method of separating substances that make up a liquid or gaseous mixture. One use of it is to measure or identify low concentrations of substances, such as pollutants in air or water. Another use is to separate and identify products of chemical reactions. Chemists use this method to separate pure substances from impurities. Chromatographi

Raining Acid ACID RAIN ACID RAIN "Statues dissolving and guns rusting, children choking and soil becoming poisoned, trees withering, rocks blackening. And the trout float belly-up" (Pawlick 184). These are some of the disastrous effects caused by acid rain. In North America this cancer eats into the very heart of industrialized eastern Canada and down the northeastern coast of the Un

Rates Of Reaction The Gunpowder plot 1605 The gunpowder plot was a very hideous idea, but was for a specific reason. It was because King jams punished the Catholics by making laws that were cruel and nasty. This was because King James was a protestant and didn’t like the Catholics because they were a different religion. It all started when Guffawed and his companions carried 2 tones

Abortion Abortion is one of the most controversial issues of our day. People generally have strong views about abortion. It is an issue about life and death. Abortion draws out two different worldviews. The human world view, which says, "You do whatever you want. Its your own choice not anyone else." In addition, the religious world, which I believe, says, “God forbids us to murder, and

Bacterial Resistance Bacterial resistance is a problem that has profoundly impacted the medical community. Bacterial resistance results when bacteria become resistant to individual antibiotics through the development of specific defense mechanisms which render the antibiotic ineffective. This problem has become evident in recent years as numerous cases have been reported in which antibio

Bioethics ssisted Suide By: Nathan Stevic Questions concerning the right to end one’s life have long generated storms of controversy. These questions, involving intensely personal views on issues no less profound than the meaning of life and liberty, are unlikely to disappear any time soon. The conservative nature of the medical profession, and the organized opposition of the “righ

Bioethics Bioethics: The New Frontier", Business Government and Society, Volume I chose the title "Bioethics: The New Frontier" because we are talking about a new technology which is very, very powerful, and yet, we have only just begun to work out the ethical issues about how we should use this technology and how we should exploit its power. First, I thought it would be useful to

Cloning Is It Wrong to Clone Human beings' It is very easy to assault human cloning without knowing that much about it. Religion purposes alone are enough to dismiss the cloning of another human being. However it does have its positives. Human cloning research could help doctors determine the cause of spontaneous abortions, give an understanding of the rapid cell growth of cancer, allow

DNA Nucleotides A whole range of nucleotides exist within a cell. A nucleotide molecule contains a phosphate group, a pentose sugar group and an organic base group. Pentose Sugars Nucleotides contain one of two alternative sugar components. They fall into two groups, those that contain a ribose (C5H10O5) sugar group and those that contain a deoxyribose (C5H10O4) sugar group

Forensic Science Forensic science is the application of scientific techniques in collecting and analyzing physical evidence in criminal cases.”1 Forensic science has really advanced over the years. The first recorded application of medical knowledge to the solution of a crime was in a Chinese book, His Duan Yu (the washing away of wrongs), written in 1248. It contains a description of ho

Genetically Engineered Foods Genetically Engineered Foods Genetically engineered foods (GEF) are considered to be one of the largest food experiments in the world’s history. GEF are advantageous, but at the same time may arouse problems. In defense, genetically engineered foods can make plants ripen faster, improving the specie’s taste and look. Genetic modification of food has won th

Human Cloning Human Cloning We are making technological and medicinal advances very rapidly in today’s society. We have found cures for diseases that we never thought could possibly be cured. One of the most controversial issues of recent day is the issue of human cloning. Although it is highly disputed, and knowing human cloning will raise lot of challenging questions about human

Human Cloning: Threat To Mankind Twenty-first century is the birth of biotechnology to some people. We have seen cloned animals like the famous Dolly the sheep. We have also heard about three cloned cows. What about human clones' Will cloning a human be a mistake or a miracle' Biotechnology shows us now that a human clone might be possible. As of now, the practice of human clonin

Asthma Asthma Asthma is a lung disease that affects approximately ten million people in the United States. (Cramer 2) In people with asthma, the airways of the lungs are hypersensitive to irritants such as cigarette smoke or allergens. When these irritants are inhaled, the airways react by constricting, or narrowing. Some people with asthma have only mild, intermittent symptoms that can

Creutzfield Jakob Disease Who would of thought that eating hamburgers, steaks and drinking milk could produce an epidemic disease' These types of food are frequently eaten for their appealing tastes and nutritional values. The discovery of Creutzfeld Jakob Disease (CJD) has been a long and remarkable one. The cause of this disease is a mutated prion protein within the brain that can be e

Multiple Sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that randomly attacks the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The progress, severity and specific symptoms of the disease cannot be predicted; symptoms may range from tingling and numbness to paralysis and blindness. MS is a devastating disease because people live with its unp

Rehab Timeline Having a disability now days in itself is a challenge. Today a person has more things available to them to help cope with the disability. Having a disability a disability fifty years or twenty years was an even bigger challenge. Being deaf in those days had its ups and downs. Children in the 1950s, who attended schools and programs for the deaf, had to wear bulky

Rebar Purpose: The purpose of the different types of rebar experiments was to show how processes such as annealing, rolled, hardened, will affect the grain structure, of a sample of normalized rebar. All the rebar samples were prepared from the different processes such as annealed rebar, normalized rebar, hardened rebar, rolled rebar. The samples were then placed in a thermoplastic ma

Red Kangaroo And Banskia Ornata Relationship What factors limit the population sizes of the Red Kangaroo and the Banksia Ornata' The most obvious factor that limits the number of Red Kangaroos is the amount of available food and water. These are the dependent factors. If there is little food and less water, then only Darwin’s Theory of “Survival of the Fittest” will come into play

Relationship Between Eating Breakfast And School Performance School is a very big part of our lives. There is a great deal of importance in our society to give kids the best education possible. Without an education, it will be very hard to develop the skills needed to make it through everyday. A student should be able to do well in their classes in order to get the most out of their educ
