The moral dilemma of embryonic stem cell research is: either the embryo is a human being or it’s not a human being‚ a person’s belief can help alter their decision on being for or against the research‚ cloning could be the answer to saving a life‚ and the potential the embryonic research can have will make a big impact on the world. To say that an embryo is or is not a human depends on the person and the concept they have on when a life is actually started. Many say that it starts at the embryo‚

Good afternoon‚ my name is Saeed Graham and today I’ll be presenting on the topic of the use of animals in medical research. An article will be disputed in an attempt to convince you that animals SHOULD be used in medical research. Kelly Overton posits the article “Stop Animal Testing – It’s not just cruel‚ it’s ineffective” in the Baltimore Sun. As is evident from the title of the writing‚ Mr. Overton is of the opinion that the use of animals for medical testing be desisted on the basis of its ineffectiveness

There are no multicellular plants in the oceans Most are photosynthetic single cells Cambrian is in Paleozoic era Called Cambrian explosion‚ because in this 70 million years. We have an explosion of every multicellular organism.

Contrary to popular belief‚ our brains do not reach adulthood and stop changing or growing. Although there are limitations‚ such as our inability to heal brain damage the way we heal other body parts‚ human brains continue to generate new neurons well past when was originally thought. This process is called neurogenesis‚ and until recently‚ was seen as a development only occurring in embryonic and perinatal stages in mammals. Luckily‚ this continues throughout life‚ and is beneficial to college

Stem Cell Research: Should we continue to allow scientists to create new embryonic stem cell lines? Good morning everyone. The topic of Stem Cell Research has been argued over by politicians‚ scientists and people all over the world for over a decade. Scientists should not be allowed to continue to create new embryonic stem cell lines. One of the ways to obtain stem cells for scientific research is to destroy a blastocyst (laboratory-fertilized human egg). Destroying the blastocyst is the equivalent

1. Explain broadly‚ what ‘3D Imaging’ is. You must identify the hardware and software typically associated with this field. 3D imaging is a process where there are two different images and they are put together to make give a three-dimensional feel to the single image. 2. Describe at least three areas that 3D imaging is used. You need to describe in detail The nature of the technology in relation to the specific area. This means you need to Elaborate on how the technology being is used‚ explaining

Pros: Embryotic stem cells could cure numerous diseases‚ and provide organs to people on the transplant list. Because of the high demand of organs‚ innumerable people die waiting for a transplant. If scientist discover how to create organs‚ lives will be saved. There is research that shows that it could be possible to use the patient’s own cells instead of embryonic stem cells. Cons: There are concerns with obtaining stem cells. Stem cells are acquired from human embryo or fetus‚ and can cause birth

From the time of ancient Egyptians the prosthetics were created to help the amputees and giving them a feeling of wholesome. The earliest recorded prosthetic comes from 15th century B.C which was made of wood and leather and it was used to replace toes of an amputees. Prosthetics and bionics have always helped people recover from their disabilities and gave them a chance to live a better but not completely normal life. In 21st century new experts with new ideas are making prosthetics and bionics

Abstract Damaged cardiac tissue will have long term effects on overall cardiac function and right now if cardiac tissue becomes necrotic there is no guaranteed recovery of the tissue. Although studies are being done to explore possibilities in regenerating new cardiac cells to replace the damaged cells. Since 1956 experimenting with multiple types of stem cells have resulted in various amount of outcomes in improving cardiac function. Stem cell therapy has not yet been perfected and still have unanswered

Introduction/Research Question The researchers are attempting to find if certain FVEP-P2 (electroencephalographic component of the flash visual evoked potential) procedures have enough diagnostic accuracy to determine who has amnesic mild cognitive impairment (MCIa)‚ which has been shown to lead to Alzheimer’s dementia (AD)‚ and who does not. This could change the way doctors discover MCIa and could lead to an increase in the potential for medicines or procedures that could prevent AD to be developed
