Watson and Crick have been given credit for discovering the three dimensional‚ double helix model of DNA. They got the idea for the double helix shape from a woman named Rosalind Franklin‚ who saw the double helix shape from a picture she took of an x-ray. Frederick Griffith discovered that bacteria can change form and function through transformation. Bacteriophages are a form of a bacterial virus. Viruses act as parasites and can cause many different diseases. Erwin Chargaff figured out that units

Prisoner or Liberator St. Francis of Assisi in centuries past‚ wrote the analogy‚ “A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows”. In earlier centuries still‚ Plato used shadows and the sun as analogous examples in his writings from The Republic: “Allegory of the Cave”. Using a conversation between Socrates and his pupil‚ Glaucon‚ Plato leads us vividly into his view of life by representing individuals as prisoners‚ deep within a cave‚ kept shackled in such a way they cannot look or see

Should Genetic Engineering Be Controlled by Law? “Just as the success of a corporate body in making money need not set the human condition ahead‚ neither does every scientific advance automatically make our lives more meaningful” ( Professor George Wald‚ Noble Prize winning biologist‚ The Dangers of Genetic Engineeering 1976‚ p.45) . Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genes. It uses the techniques of molecular cloning and transformation to alter the

The advances in modern medical science in the near future are dependent upon the advances of methods and procedures that by today ’s standards are considered to be taboo and dangerous. These methods will not only revolutionize the field of medicine but they will be the forerunners to a whole knew way to treat people. For these advances to take place several key steps need to be taken both medically and politically. In this paper I will attempt to explain what methods and procedures will be the future

Having a ‘creative license’ to do whatever one pleases with an image is a lot more difficult than one may think. As stated by Patricia D. Stokes‚ “complete freedom makes writing a piece of novel prose difficult‚ if not impossible”. This applies also to someone given the task of simply creatively modifying an image using programs such as Adobe Photoshop CS5. However‚ an assignment with constraints on “both subject and style” turns the impossible task into an inevitable one.1 The images 1Da

There were many factors that led to Cortez’s conquest of the Aztecs. The first factor to the conquering of the Aztecs are the weapons and horses Cortez’s army used. The second factor of Cortez’s Conquest is siding with the Indians. The last factor in the conquering of the Aztecs is the Aztec belief that Cortez was a god. Without the underlying factors‚ Cortez would not have defeated the Aztec empire of 5 million people. Cortez was chosen to be a captain of an expedition to Mexico in 1518

Genetic Engineering is a scientific process that has recently come a long way. Within the past four years of the twentieth century we have witnessed the most rapid adoption of a new technology in history. Millions of acres of farmland have been planted with genetically engineered crops since 1996. The crops consist mainly of corn‚ soybeans‚ and cotton. Genetic engineering techniques allow scientists to insert specific genes into plants and/or animals. Also‚ species are very easily crossed using genetic

Genetic Engineering and Morality As advancements in technology and science continue to rapidly grow‚ we as a society face issues with the morality of some of these advancements. One of the biggest issues at hand today is that of genetic engineering. The question we must answer is whether or not it should be morally permissible for parents to create their children using genetic engineering so that they may provide them with particularly desirable traits? Although this may seem like a fabulous idea
