Cloning Cloning, as of recent years, has become a very controversial issue. Society is firmly divided on the uses and ethics of cloning. Cloning can rang from producing copies of plants and animals to clones of humans and human organs. But cloning can have several positive effects for the well being of society. Cloning plants can have positive effects fo humans. Scientist can clone plant

Cloning into the Future Summary Clone is an organism, or group of organisms, derived from another organism by an asexual (nonsexual) reproductive process. The word clone has been applied to cells as well as to organisms, so a group of cells stemming from a single cell is also called a clone. Usually the members of a clone are identical in their inherited characteristics—that is, in the

Shape Up Throughout history, man has been fascinated with remaining young and living longer. Although no one has succeeded in finding eternal youth, everyone is constantly searching for a way to bolt the door against old age. There are three current methods being tried; (1) antioxidants, (2) growth hormones and (3) herbs. While these methods may help slow down the aging process, they h

Cloning is Wrong The question shakes us all to our very souls. For humans to consider the cloning of one another forces them all to question the very concepts of right and wrong that make them all human. The cloning of any species, whether they be human or non-human, is ethically and morally wrong. Scientists and ethicists alike have debated the implications of human and non-human clonin

Cloning Pros and Cons Cloning: The production of genetic copies. & Clones: A group of genetically identical organisms. Ever since the belief that cloning was a possibility, and especially since it has been developed, it has been a major conflict in the ethical world of values. There are many different pros and cons about the subject, and for a majority, deciding what is right and

Cloning: All Constraints Should be Lifted Cloning ALL CONSTRAINTS UPON CLONING SHOULD BE LIFTED Cloning has been a very controversial topic since it affects moral values of human beings and other living things alike. In February 1997 scientists in Scotland announced the birth of the first cloned sheep named Dolly, this heralded the future of cloning possibilities and scientists b

Skin Skin, in anatomy, protective organ covering the external surface of the body and merging, without break, at the various body openings, with the mucous membranes of the alimentary and other canals. The skin forms a protective barrier against the action of physical, chemical, and bacterial agents on the deeper tissues and contains the special end organs for the various sensations comm

Skin Every hour one American is killed by skin cancer and every thirty seconds one American gets skin cancer. Cancer is a deadly disease that alters the DNA of a skin cell and causes it to reproduce at a rapid pace. This overproduction of cells can be harmful and in many cases deadly. Out of these cancers the most common is Basal cell carcinoma. Many steps have been made in the treatment

Sickle Cell Sickle Cell Anemia What is Sickle Cell Anemia' Is it leukemia, cancer, can it be caught through contact, same as a cold' NO! Sickle Cell is a condition, which is inherited from both parents. A person that has Sickle Cell inherits abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) from both parents who may be carriers with the sickle cell trait or with sickle cell disease. Sickle Cell affects the

Sickle Cell Anemia What is Sickle Cell Anemia' Sickle Cell Anemia is an inherited blood disease. It cause’s amounts of pain, severe damage to vital organs, and for some patients, death even comes into terms in early child hood or adulthood. Most people with Sickle Cell Anemia enjoy a good healthy life. What are the cause’s of Sickle Cell Anemia' The cause of Si

Sickle Cell Anemia, Human Variation And Race 1910 marks the period that sickle-cell anemia was linked to race. In Chicago Dr. James Herrick detailed a “new disorder” that he located in a black patient from the Caribbean who was ill with lesions and fatigue. Dr. Herrick described the illness as “anemia with peculiar and elongated red blood cells”(Tapper, 1). By the 1920s laboratory med

Silicon Jöns Jacob Berzelius discovered silicon in 1824. It was founded in Sweden. Silicon comes from the Latin word “silicis” meaning “flint”. Silicon has 14 neutrons, 14 protons, and 14 electrons. It is located in Period 3 and in group 14. It has an atomic weight of 28.0855 and its symbol is “Si”. Silicon’s solid state is at 287 k. It is a hard dark gray non-metal. It is classified as

Snow Geese I am completing the practicum portion of my college education at Steamboat Lake State Park. I opted to work for this organization in this location for a number of reasons. Most importantly I wanted to work for Colorado State Parks because someday I may work for a government agency. If I do work for a government agency I would like to work for either the National Forest Servi

Smokers And Non Smokers Rights Smokers and Non-smokers’ Rights In Stanley S. Scott’s short essay “Smokers Get A Raw Deal,” Scott’s version of a non-smoker is unjust. Scott sees smokers as being segregated because of prejudice. Scott does not realize the hazards of smoking and the effects of second hand smoke. Stanley S. Scott’s essay does not portray the side of the smoker and the non

Smoking Why has cigarette smoking increased in today’s generation' You go out and you see people of all ages; starting from ten and even younger to 70 years of age smoking. It seems to have become an epidemic, and the reason for this is simple. Peer pressure, stress and trying to live up the image of being “cool”. But do these people actually know what the consequences of their actio

Cloning, And Stem Cell Research Cloning, and Stem Cell Research Technology has advanced a great deal within the past few years. We have learned so much information about animal’s genes and what can be done with them. However, with this new information brings new questions and arguments. So far, scientists have successfully cloned a sheep, a monkey, a bull, and are working on an en

Cocaine Cocaine is an alkaloid obtained from leaves of the coca plant and used medically as an anesthetic. It is also widely abused as a drug. Cocaine is classified as a narcotic for legal purposes by the United States government. It causes strong psychological dependence. Cocaine hydrochloride, a water-soluble salt, is a dry white powder, known on the street as "snow" that is usually

Soda And Effects On Teeth Sweet Tooth Background: During the 1970’s, teenagers drank twice as much milk as soda pop. Since then, the statistics have reversed, having a direct relation to tooth decay. Human teeth were not made to withstand that type of daily exposure to soda. Plaque or bacteria, establish an active colony in the mouth then convert sugar in the beverages to acid. T

Soil Erosion Soil quality is one of the most basic and perhaps least understood indicators of land health. Soil supports plant growth and represents the living reservoir that buffers the flows of water, nutrients, and energy through an ecosystem. The ongoing degradation of the earth’s soils by human activity such as urbanization, deforestation, overgrazing of cattle, and poor agricultura

Solar Systems Origin of the solar system for more than 300 years there has been serious scientific discussion of the processes and events that led to the formation of the solar system. For most of this time lack of knowledge about the physical conditions in the solar system prevented a rigorous approach to the problem. Explanations were especially sought for the regularity in the directi

Cognition When the human eye sees a word or an object, it uses a network of detectors, organized in layers, going from the least complex to the most. The bottom layer, is concerned with features, and therefore is called a feature net. These detectors range in their need for strong or weak inputs in order to make them fire. Each detector has an activation level, a response threshold, and

Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants utilize the energy of sunlight to manufacture carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the green pigment that is located in the grana of chloroplasts, and converts light energy into food in the form of glucose. Chloroplasts are structures in the cells of pl

Sonoluminescence Sonoluminescence refers to the emission of light from bubbles suspended in water, when those bubbles are forced to vibrate by acoustic waves. This emission of light is fascinating because the energy required to produce the light suggests that the temperature inside the bubble exceeds 10,000 Celcius. Scientists are still debating the physics of Sonoluminescence. Althou

Sound REPORT Sound Sound is any disturbance that travels through an elastic medium such as air, ground, or water to be heard by the human ear. When a body moves back and forth (vibrates), the oscillation causes a disturbance of the surrounding medium, it radiates outward in straight lines in the form of a pressure wave. The pressure wave is perceived by the ear as a sound. In physics,

Space Shuttle Challenger The accident of Space Shuttle Challenger, interrupted for a time one of the most productive engineering, scientific and exploratory programs in history. The violent explosion that was witnessed by the captive audience consisting of millions of proud Americans will forever be engraved in the hearts of those who watched the launch of the space shuttle on national t

Isolation Of Genomic DNA From Marine Fish Using Protein Precipitation Method. Introduction : DNA isolation is the very first step to study the genomics of a selected organism. It is crucial that the DNA extraction is carried out in a rapid, economical and simple manner. Various approaches are available for the scientists to isolate the genomic DNA e.g. cesium chloride density gradients

STD Syphilis is still rare compared with other sexually transmitted diseases. The bacterium that causes syphilis is treponema palidum. This causes genital lesions called chancres. These normally go away on their own but if not treated the disease advances. A person who has syphilis suffers from fevers, aches, rashes, hair loss and mouth sores. At later stages of the disease it affects th

Bridge Forces Executive Summary 1. Problem Statement: In this case, I was tasked to analyze a truss system. The main focus of this analysis was to inform a general contractor whether a model for a particular bridge was oversimplified. The contractor was worried that the model for the bridge was oversimplified because it neglected the member weight. In the first part of the pr

Bronchitis And Its Common Characteristics Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, or bronchi (the air passages that extend from the windpipe into the lungs). The inflammation may be caused by a virus, bacteria, smoking or the inhalation of chemical pollutants or dust. The bronchi are large delicate tubes in the lungs that are attached to the trachea and carr

Bubble Bubble The earth is getting warmer, a scientist mostly agree that humans bear some of the blame. Global warming could cause floods in cities and cause the spread of infectious disease. Not many people are looking towards the future of the world. That’s why we at HOPE Corporations have been looking toward the future. HOPE Corporation has begun to design a product to save the
