Since we've been back eddy lexie and i get along better than ever. Eddy finally believe how horrible dad is. Well was. I walk over to the den and see lexi watching her ridiculously drama filled shows. suddenly someone comes running up behind me. I turn around and see eddy jump on to the couch. No one said anything we just all laughed.

I hear my phone ringing in the kitchen. I bolted across the room to see the caller ID was Dr barkley i clicked answer and said “ Hello”

“ Hi Ej, sorry i mean eli. I have great and exciting news to tell you.”

Blair’s book explains the placement, objective, and every command level decision.…

    In September of 1999, the Institute of Human Gene Therapy at the University of Pennsylvania ran an experiment in which Jesse Gelsinger participated (Rowe, 2000). The experiment consisted of an ornithine transcarbamylase gene therapy, wherein participants would increase their abilities to eliminate ammonia (Rowe, 2000). Because Gelsinger had a genetic disease (called ornithine transcarbamylase or OTC) which caused him to have difficulties in releasing ammonia from his body, he seemed to be an ideal participant (Kolehmainen, 2000). Unfortunately, neither Jesse nor his father were aware before the commencement of the experiment that several monkeys had died from the therapy, and human participants had been suffering adverse effects from the experiment (Rowe, 2000). Also, Jesse Gelsinger and the other participants involved were not…
