Amniotic sac

The idea of being able to read an individual’s genome via genetic testing has become very controversial. Genetic testing is a relatively new medical breakthrough that can give predispositions or possible genetic abnormalities with a simple blood test or swab of a cheek. These tests range from prenatal, to newborns, to adults. Some tests are done out of curiosity, and others are advised by medical professionals due to family or background history of a particular condition. Many people have strong…

baaing trickled from the corner of the room. There was not any hay strewn across the ground, nor was there boarded walls with cobwebs in the corner because here at the moment of its birth, this lamb was a scientific miracle. There, lying in its amniotic sac was the first animal clone, Dolly. Her DNA was an exact duplicate to the Finn Dorset ewe from which scientists took cells (Aldridge). While it’d be of interest to jump the gun to one of the biggest steps in genetics, cloning could draw its…

The Evolving Planet exhibit at the Field Museum of Natural History is a work of art that thoroughly explains the story of life through evolution. The exhibit begins by informing us about organic compounds coming to be on earth and how all living organisms require organic compounds. It moves on to explain single cell organisms developing from organic compounds and then becoming self-sufficient using energy from the sun. These single-cell organisms grew into more complex beings with genetic…

Every living organism has a purpose in the environment, no matter how big or small we are all connected just for the simple fact that we call this planet our home. Therefore the interrelationships between men, animals, the environment is extremely important for the survival of all species. My aspiration is to take the role of a wildlife veterinarian and be able to put endangered animals back into their natural habitats henceforth be able to be of aid to that interrelationship. My passion for…

Abortion causes many different problems. A woman who goes to a clinic and has her baby aborted is at risk for psychological trouble. Post-traumatic stress disorder sometimes develops when a terrifying event happens. Though a woman that has an abortion is probably pro-choice, that does not change the fact that abortions are very frightening. Even though the 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, the federal government still restricts a lot of funding for it. Like Shimabukuro (2015)…

Human Behavior is determined by several different factors in individuals and the environment. The factors that occur take place in the micro-level and the macro-level and often interact in relationships. The Webster’s Dictionary defines Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) as a transmitted infection. HIV is a condition in which, humans will cause failure of the immune system, which can lead to life- threating opportunistic infections. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic immune…

It’s amazing how people can accidentally come into your life and become someone you love dearly. That person becomes important to you whether they 're your best friend, your significant other, or even just a teacher. For me, my partner’s mother was that person. She’s important to me because from the first time I met her she didn’t hesitate to accept me into the family. There’s never a dull moment, or a mouth left unfed. She knows how to treat her kids, biological or not, like the adults they’re…

Mummification is a modification of putrefaction characterised by the dehydration of the tissues converting the body into a leathery mass of skin and tendons surrounding the bone. The internal organs are often decomposed but preserved. Skin shrinkage may produce large artefactual splits mimmicking injuries, particularly seen in the groins, around the neck, and the armpits. Mummification develops in conditions of dry heat, especially when there are air currents,e.g. in a desert or inside a…

As one of the most prevalent Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in United States America, Gonorrhea is reported to affect 820,000 Americans each year (Sutton, 2006). This is only the reported amount of cases each year; many cases go unreported (Sutton, 2006). It is a disease we have known about for years. While it is preventable and curable, it can also be deadly if not treated or caught in time. Gonorrhea is a STI we know a great deal about, yet not everyone knows it's, symptoms, how it's…

Though Nicodemus never bothered to know why a man should be born again, Jesus responded by breaking his concept to smaller pieces. Jesus made use of apologetic in this discourse to illustrate the essential of the second birth. Nicodemus should understand there is no short cut to entering heaven. Man must be born again. It is the only way to enter the kingdom of God. Man must “be born of Water and of the Spirit” (John 3:5) to enter the Kingdom of God. If one considers that the discourse is on the…
