Stem Cell Controversy Stem cells were first isolated and cultured in November of 1998 and have been surrounded with much debate and controversy since day one. “Although the ethical debates have been mostly static and have closely mimicked the ethical debates over abortion‚ the political determinations concerning federal funding of stem cell research have gone through numerous evolutions in the years since the first hESCs were isolated and cultured” (Saltzberg 505). Research is currently being

G-d?” “Hitler Cloning” and “scientists playing God” are statements used to describe human cloning. When it comes down to the truth of the matter‚ human cloning is a scientific breakthrough that has a higher chance of helping society than hurting it. There are many people who are skeptical‚ believing that a world full of genetically reproduced miniature Hitler’s will be created through human cloning. They imagine a second Holocaust starting as the cloned Nazi leaders go on a world-wide

Cell Membrane Structure Phospholipids are arranged in to layers‚ called the bilayer. They only have 2 fatty acids‚ this is because the third fatty acid is replaced by a negatively charged phosphate group. The phosphate heads are polar‚ in other words attracted to water‚ therefore they are hydrophilic. The lipid tails are non-popular as they’re not attracted to water and therefore known as hydrophobic. When phospholipids are added to the water‚ they rearrange themselves so that the hydrophilic heads

1. Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus‚ bound by a double membrane. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus. The purpose of the nucleus is to sequester the DNA-related functions of the big eukaryotic cell into a smaller chamber‚ for the purpose of increased efficiency. This function is unnecessary for the prokaryotic cell‚ because its much smaller size means that all materials within the cell are relatively close together. Of course‚ prokaryotic cells do have DNA and DNA functions. Biologists describe

Abstract Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of malignant cancer found in the world today with a 3-10% increase in incidence each year. White males have a 33-39% risk of having BCC during his lifetime‚ whereas women have a risk of 23-28%. The American Cancer Society (2014) reported that 8 out of 10 patients with skin cancer are suffering from BCC with more than 2 million new cases each year. Therefore a method needs to be developed that can detect BCC at the early stages to prevent

According to the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project‚ about six in ten (66%) of all children in our sample had a cell phone before they turned 14. Slightly less than 75% of all high school students had a cell phone. The study also concludes that teenagers send text messages‚ take photos‚ play games‚ send e-mails‚ make phone calls‚ reading novels‚ and watch videos by their cell phones. These acts are
