Genetic engineering in general Pros|Cons| With the discovery of DNA and unravelling the genetic code it contains‚ molecular biologists have finally come close to understanding what determines the form and function of organisms and can use this to design organisms at will. This is illustrated by the experiments on the transgenic fruit fly which has eyes on its antennae (Walter Gehring‚ Basel Biocentre‚ Switzerland. see the year 1994 in http://www.ifgene.org/history.htm ). This new technology will

There are currently systems in place that are alternatives to prison (though much less widely known about)‚ and they had much more productive results. In fact‚ there was a DTAP program in LA that centered around treating the drug problem through therapy‚ rather than sending people to prison. “‘Arrest rates during treatment were substantially lower than arrest rates during the two years preceding treatment‚ and completion of treatment was associated with the greatest reductions in arrest rates’” (Mcvay)

Ethanol is very helpful and the pros outweigh the cons by so much that is why it is so widely used throughout the US. a pro of ethanol is that since it is natural it is not as harmful to the air as regular gasoline would be. A con is that is destroys one’s engine faster but the earth is more important than an engine. The University of Illinois has been working on developing newer

Free speech‚ more than any other of America’s values‚ has been the touchstone of American democracy dating back to the Bill of Rights. The First Amendment‚ created in 1791‚ is so important because “without our basic and essential rights established by that first amendment‚ the others amendments would have little to no meaning and hardly any force.” It shows the creativity and innovativeness of American democracy. The Amendment states‚ “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

Now the parents have two choices‚ they can either bring their baby with PKU into this world or they can abort their child with PKU. One big negative thing about keeping their affected child is that they will have to see their child suffer from the

They have now been able to cure many diseases by altering and crossing genes. Just think that someday in the future we could cure AIDS and cancer with a simple division of two plant genes. So whether we believe genetic engineering is good or bad we must accept the change and further our knowledge (Virtual High School 3 of

Before deciding between WLE and mastectomy‚ the surgeon has to present a complete and balance presentation to the patient concerning the pros and cons of said procedures. Even if the patient opt for either type of surgery‚ the definitive risk of local recurrence is still uncertain and hard to predict. Plus‚ the nature of cancer itself is unpredictable.

In most cases‚ when Refugees arrive into a new country‚ they often find themselves in a quandary‚ since it is hard for them to assimilate into their new home. Scholars such as Sarah Feldman claim that for refugees to feel part of the society‚ it is crucial for them to become integrated into host communities‚ since they have been warehoused in refugee camps for long periods of time and may feel estranged. Feldman mentions that one of the biggest issues is the misconception that refugee camps are temporary
