Title: Study of Dominant Thumb and Handedness Abstract: In this experiment‚ the relationship of handedness and thumb dominance was tested. 50 people were asked to clasp their hands. Each person’s thumb dominance and handedness were recorded. Although there was evidence of all dominance/handedness combinations‚ there seemed to be a connection between the person’s handedness and their left thumb dominance. Background Information: When people clasp their hands‚ almost all have a strong preference;

I believe gene therapy should become the main course of treatment because of the several complications involved with allogeneic BMT and the recent achievements in the development of gene therapy for X-linked SCID. As the name X-linked SCID suggests‚ this type of primary immunodeficiency is inherited through an X-linkage pattern‚ meaning that the mutant gene that is responsible for this disorder is located in the X chromosome but not in the Y. Since SCID is also considered a recessive disorder‚

However‚ such discussions are crucial to setting policies that balance individual and public protections with the use of technology in medicine.

Genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins or RNA molecules. These genes are the genetic material that is passed down from generation to generation in all species. The individual DNA segments each individual carries are

the positive outcomes and negative outcomes of procedures such as gene manipulation‚ cloning‚ in vitro fertilization and fetal tissue implants. To this day‚ scientists are researching and developing ways to "design" their children by selecting their sex‚ height‚ intelligence‚ and color of eyes. People question the morality of gene manipulation. Is it right to "design" our children? What are the consequences? The practice of gene manipulation

people’s genes? These are some of the ethical questions raised by Christians. They believe that humans exist in God’s world and have no right to change it (“Moral”). People also argue that the human genome was given to you from birth and that it was generated by God. If we begin changing genes then it brings us back to ‘“playing God’”. Although these are popular questions that are asked about gene therapy‚ the most popular one and simple one is the safety of gene therapy. Although gene therapy has
