Abstract Alzheimer’s is a dangerous disease that has been troubling the citizens of the United States of America. Approximately‚ 5 million Americans of all ages have developed this disease; but most of the people affected are above the age of 65. Alzheimer’s affects the nervous system; this neurodegenerative disease tends to occur when nerve cells in the brain slowly start to die.

be worth it. General stem cell research has been going on for many years‚ but due to cut funding‚ advancements have been inhibited. It was cut because embryonic stem cells research is considered unethical‚ but embryonic stem cells open a whole new realm of possibilities. The debate of using these stem cells has been argued for a long period of time. Certain stem cell research may be considered unethical‚ but the

Embryonic stem cells help treat tough diseases that our bodies attracted‚ and can not fight off. If we continue to use embryonic stem cells then the treatment for these tough diseases will be more efficient. “ Stem cells are expected to be most useful in treating tough diseases.(those that arise from problems with various genes‚ and are often related to environmental causes)” (Pearson). This information is saying that embryonic stem cells are more useful than any other stem cells because they are

Three things that I have been interested in for a while are aging‚ embryonic stem cells‚ and intelligence as an entirety. These three particular subjects interest because the nature of each I do not fully understand. Ever since I saw my first superhero movie I’ve wondered how I could acquire such abilities but one that seemed the most interesting to me not because it shows up in the movies but in literature from all eras of humanity when we as humans first began recording the world around us.

i) Outline the important concepts of either situation ethics or utilitarianism ii) To what extent are these important concepts undermined by relevant criticisms? Situation Ethics is a normative‚ relative ethical theory. It emerged at a time when the Church and society were changing‚ women were given a more prominent status in the workplace and the paternalism of society was decreasing. Thee main factor of change was the sexual revolution of the 1960’s‚ people were beginning to express their individualism

Situation ethics was developed in the 1960’s by an Anglican Priest‚ Joseph Fletcher. Situation Ethics is an ethical system which embraces the fact that love is the only moral criterion and all of our decisions/actions are to be judged by the question‚ “What is the most loving thing to do?” This question shows that whatever is the most loving thing to do in a situation is considered the right thing. Situation ethics means that there is no ethical standard that can be uniformly or consistently applied

Embryonic Stem Cell Research is an important process that is already allowing scientists to test new drugs and figure out the cause of birth defects. The process is very delicate because scientists must work with a four to ten day old blastocyst to get the stem cells. They put the stem cells into a petri dish along with proteins and enzymes. The stew of cells‚ enzymes‚ and proteins is what helps regenerate the bad tissues that cause diseases. “Blastocysts can also potentially be created from a donor
