Let’s say you discovered an acquaintance of yours committed a string of violent crimes and is now going to face trail for doing so. This person committed crimes such a rape‚ first degree homicide‚ multiple forms of abuse to a small child‚ among others. Many of these crimes committed are ones you personally find disgusting and unforgivable. Now theoretically‚ if you were told to chime in on whether the suspect was to be sentenced life in prison‚ or sentenced to the death penalty‚ which would you

Stem cells -are biological cells found in all multi cellularorganisms‚ that can divide (throughmitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals‚ there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells‚ which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts‚ and adult stem cells‚ which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms‚ stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body‚ replenishing

Whether or not you believe that abortion is ethically wrong or right various among everyone. When it comes to killing an adult human there is no question asked that this is completely unethical. Tooley‚ Marquis and Thomson are three individuals that argue abortion. Their arguments are very influential and help me to compare each side. In addition‚ their thoughts on abortion contribute to my thoughts of what is ethically right or wrong when it comes to humans and their right to live. Tooley sets arguments

STEM CELL RESEARCH AND THERAPYAND ITS IMPACTS ON SOCIETY Abstract There are several types of stem cells being used in stem cell research and therapy today. They are embryonic‚ adult and induced pluripotent stem cells. Each will be discussed further. This topic has stirred much moral‚ ethical and political debate as whether cells from fetuses should be used in this research. This impacts governmental policies on laws and funding. Another issue that must be analyzed is the

Site Plan | I. Neurons/nerve cells A neuron is a cell specialized to conduct electrochemical impulses called nerve impulses or action potentials. Neuron is the main cellular component of the nervous system‚ a specialized type of cell that integrates electrochemical activity of the other neurons that are connected to it and that propagates that integrated activity to other neurons. They are the basic information processing structures in the CNS.

1. Yes‚ I believe that Professor Ramirez acted ethically because even though she didn’t report she to the student review board for plagiarism. Professor Ramirez did not accept her paper and gave her a zero on the assignment. Also‚ Professor Ramirez did talk to Kelly to try to understand why she plagiarized and it was clear that Kelly understood her wrongdoing and told Professor Ramirez that she wouldn’t do it again. Therefore‚ I think that she acted ethical. I personally think that reporting students

Stem cells are pluripotent cells present in all living organisms. These cells can differentiate into any type of cell‚ including nerves and cardiac muscle. The scientific community is very excited about the possibility of these undifferentiated cells being used to treat conditions such as spinal cord injuries‚ diabetes‚ and cancer. Despite the enormous potential for medical advancements‚ controversy surrounds the sources and methods of acquiring stem cells and the possible improper uses of the knowledge

a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine

pluripotent stem (IPS) cells differ from those currently in place for human embryonic stem (ES) cells. An IPS cell is created artificially from skin‚ fat and fibroblasts by reprogramming patient ’s own cells. Scientists believe IPS cells to be a promising source for treating diseases. An ES cell is created by destroying an embryo. Other scientists think ES cells will also be a promising source because it is composed of your own DNA‚ so the immune system won ’t reject the cell. While scientists would
