Embryos made by Vitro fertilization can be easily tested for the genetic disease. After testing‚ only the healthy embryos are put in the mother’s uterus. Vitro fertilization reduces the risk of pregnancy loss and raises the chance for a healthy

Intoduction Stem cell research has brought about heated debate among academics and society as a whole. Especially among Christian circles. Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro or at an in vitro fertilization clinic which are then donated for research purposes with informed consent of the donors. They are not derived from eggs fertilized in a woman ’s body contrary to the belief of some. The pros and cons of stem cell research come

Unfortunately‚ that isn’t going to happen anytime soon. A 2004 law called the Assisted Human Reproduction Act (AHR Act) states that it’s a criminal offence “to alter the genome of a human cell‚ or in vitro embryo‚ that is capable of being transmitted to descendants”. And it’s so broadly written that Canadian scientists are prohibited from using the technology on even somatic cells. Today Canada is one of the few countries in the world where treating

Everyday animals have to endue torture and agony people put them through because of animal testing. Whether it is for medical research or for cosmetic testing they are subjected to bleed‚ being burned‚ blinded‚ or become deceased. Sometimes these animals are put through this for the most arbitrary reasons such as makeup remover and eyeliner. The use of animal testing is cruel‚ ineffective‚ and a waste of money. Animal testing is undeniably cruel and inhumane. The daily life of an animal being kept

Plants are rich in a wide variety of secondary metabolites‚ such as tannins‚ terpenoids‚ alkaloids‚ and flavonoids‚ which have been found in vitro to have antimicrobial properties.

The structure and antimicrobial properties of phytochemicals are

In vitro studies have shown that formoterol has more than 200-fold greater agonist activity at beta2-receptors than at beta1- receptors.

Also‚ scientists had found other research methods that can be followed to test the effectiveness of a product such as in vitro (test tube) which is a test method based on human cell (Vitro‚ n.d). Likewise‚ the alternative scientific tests are often more reliable than animal tests because animals are different from human beings and the result can be irrelevant.
