The military agency that turns dreams into reality‚ DARPA‚ is investing into building materials that will actually grow and repair themselves if they’re damaged. Like Wolverine from X-Men‚ but your roof after a hail storm. Let’s face it: going back and forth from hardware stores to fix crap that went wrong in your house is tiring. Your house needs constant maintenance‚ or else your house becomes the house that parents warn their kids not to go near because it looks like Jason Voorhees lives there

Neuroscientists at Emory University found that genetic markers‚ thought to be wiped clean before birth‚ were used to transmit a single traumatic experience across generations‚ leaving behind traces in the behavior and anatomy of future pups. Studies that show how molecules act as DNA markers that influence how the genome is read are known as epigenetic. We pick up these markers during our lives and in various locations on our body as we develop and interact with our environment. Through a process

Most of us agree that the course of life should be left up to Mother Nature‚ just the way it has been since the beggining of time; meanwhile‚ cloning may be seen as another advance in science research and technology. Indeed‚ many consider this matter as one of the biggest ethical concerns of the 21st century. We know that they have been trying it since the last century. But until now‚ it hasn’t succeeded. For example‚ the technique which produced Dolly (the sheep) was successful in only 1 of 277

world’s first mammal successfully cloned from an adult‚ brought hope and prosperity among scientists who view cloning as a potential cure for illnesses and other beneficial uses. The birth of Dolly represented a milestone in genetic technology but caused an enormous amount of uproar from the public. The historic event prompted a raging debate about the ethics and consequences of cloning‚ especially when using the same technique to clone human beings. Many people considered attempting to clone a human

There is no doubt in the past there are many cases of unethical human experimentation such as the nazi experiments in the 1940’s.But today we live in a more civilized era. I am on the affirmative side of the argument and here’s why.There are laws and regulations limiting human experimentation and how it’s used.Human experimentation helps scientists understand the human body.Without human experimentation it would be very difficult to evolve in science. Therefore it’s necessary for scientists to

Chromosomal Disorder: (Turner Syndrome) Introduction Turner Syndrome is a condition that only alters the development of girls and women. Most girls and women have two full and complete X chromosomes while girls with turner syndrome have only part of the second X chromosome. Women and girls are diagnosed with turner syndrome have features such as slow growth rates‚ a webbed neck‚ broad shoulders‚ and widely spaced nipples. They also have swelling hands and feet‚ heart defects‚ kidney problems‚ and

1. Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages to the female of external versus internal fertilization. In comparing‚ external fertilization occurs when the release of both sperms and eggs into an external environment‚ the sperm will then fertilize the egg outside of the organism for example in spawning. Internal fertilization‚ on the other hand‚ occurs when the egg is within the female‚ and a male mounts the female and releases sperms into her. The advantages of internal fertilization

Look‚ no one is perfect. In actuality‚ our biology has rendered us suboptimal; at best. Yet‚ for the first time in history we have the opportunity to change that. We can steal fire from the gods. Technology and biology combine to form a singularity- a deviation from the meandering path of evolution. But in doing so‚ will we be fundamentally changing what it means to be human? Many people elicit fear‚ even outrage when asked if genetically altering who we are is ethical. Biomedical enhancements are
