genetic traits will become available. People will have the power to engineer their children to be smarter‚ stronger‚ taller‚ and even predetermine the gender. This technology is referred to as Eugenics‚ but the products are commonly called designer babies. Although this technology isn’t entirely available it is causing quite the debates. Which leads many people to think: what are the pros and cons to genetic engineering? According to Stephen Baird‚ “Some will curse these new technologies‚ sounding

Seamus Heaney – ‘At a Potato Digging’ • Context • • The poem deals with two different potato harvests. One is the harvest from the present day that goes successfully and which delivers a rich crop. The second potato harvest looks back to the famine of 1845 when the crop failed and many people starved. Whilst the famine is no longer a threat‚ its ongoing fear remains and this can be seen in the use of religious language throughout the poem. For example‚ the bowed heads of the potato pickers suggest the

Potato Osmosis Introduction: A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink. They know they could last without food for up to a month‚ but if they didn’t have water to drink they will be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable‚ their thirst drives them to drink the salty seawater. They are dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all? Today we explore the cause of the sailor’s

“designer babies”. I don’t think it is ethical at all to use this process as a way for parents to make a baby that would perceive as “perfect”. Babies should be born naturally and parents should love their children under all circumstances. The only circumstance that should allow parents to have the right of gene sequencing would be if there was a harmful chromosomal disease that was definitely going to be passed down to the parent’s offspring. As one of the mothers said in the show “Designer Babies”‚ “I

CHILD is a priceless gift from Allah SWT. However‚ baby dumping is a social crisis and has a chronic increase as many cases are occurring in Malaysian society. The baby dumping refers to discarding or leaving alone‚ for an extended period of time‚ a child younger than 12 months of age in a public or private setting with the intent to dispose of the child. Based on Bukit Aman Police Headquarters statistics found a total of 580 babies were found dumped between year 2000 to 2006. This number of cases

potential of a potato Aim Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high water concentration to a low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Our aim is to investigate the water potential of a potato through osmosis‚ by finding the difference in weight before and after the potato has been set in a solution of water‚ sugar or salt. Trial Method Firstly we collected the equipment. This included a scalpel‚ potato cutter‚ and test tubes. Then we cut the potato using the

Aim The aim is to find the concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution. Background information Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution and the low water concentration
