Asexual reproduction

Conceivement is a major life event in everyone's life, but with that, infertility can bring about social and psychological problems, from the effects on the women and the couple's relationship to the pressures generated from society, ruining the experience for the possible parents to be. Throughout the years, as we evolve, some things tend to never change. People’s perception and comprehension on some topics tend to stay unseen by the public because of the lack of awareness brought to such…

Abortion is currently the greatest challenge posed by contemporary culture to my generation of Christ-followers. It is a very emotional topic that brings up sorrow, and empathy. For this reason, today’s Christians tend to hold their tongues when the controversy, that is abortion, is brought up. We challenge ourselves with the task of informing others of what is morally correct according to the Christian Biblical Worldview, while trying to spare the feelings of others, and offend little to nobody…

It is clear that both Kubrick and Burgess have made their effort in trying to address the problem of whether or not prefer the inequality between men and women. Throughout the story, there are numerous scenes in which female characters are degraded; whether it is a girl being raped or getting killed. Even the surroundings in the stories, like the sculptures, are extremely sexist in a way that disturbs the audiences to some extent. I will argue that Burgees and Kubrick’s main focus is to…

Biologically speaking, the whole purpose of any living organism is to continue its existence; there are two ways to accomplish this: Immortality or reproduction. Some marine animals, such as jellyfish, are capable of “cheating death” by reproducing asexually. But for humans, and most other forms of life, we achieve this feat through reproduction. This is a prodigious responsibility that I think many people do not truly consider before engaging in sexual intercourse. Every individual is…

In my initial summary of my understanding of Christian doctrine, I allotted a great deal of attention to the doctrines that, in my mind, define what it means to be a Christian--such as love, community, and evangelism--yet I neglected the fact that all Christians are, at their core, human beings. Therefore my attention is now turned to the doctrine of human beings. Guthrie 's analysis of the doctrine of human beings can perhaps best be summarized by 1 John 1:7, which reads, "but if we walk in the…

During a series of ecological disasters including an ice age and a period of extensive solar radiation, the tardigrade, one of nature’s “extremophiles”, was able to evolve physically to the extent where the microscopic organism can decrease its metabolism to a miniscule amount making it able to survive whatever conditions it faces. As it is unknown to how the tardigrade was able to evolve to that extent, a plausible answer is contingency, a theory that evolution sometimes occurs by chance.…

People travel to Thailand not just for enjoying their vacations, but also for realizing the dream of having a baby. India, Thailand and California in the United States are the most popular destinations for cross- border reproductive care or fertility tourism (Mckelvey, David, Shenfield, & Jauniaux, 2009). People usually go abroad for commercial surrogacy. No matter what their marital status or sexual orientation are (Armour, 2012), they could seek help from surrogacy agencies in those places.…

idea that you raise a child and ship them off. To truly understand reproduction and human development, one can’t look solely at the biological side of things. Culture plays, in my opinion, an even bigger role in family planning and dynamic, so it should be addresses as well. The first topic that should be addressed the in the difference between sex and gender. Sex…

In the video, Dr. Scott Rae is making the comparison of using medical technology in the assist of procreation and using medical technology with the everyday usage of human’s bodily organs. He used the example of having medical technology assist people with kidney failure or with lung failure. The comparison is made when there is assistance with medical technology and procreation. To be honest, I have never thought of it that way. If there is a blockage in the fallopian tube, then why can’t…

Advances in technology related to genetic mapping and embryonic screening have raised several ethical dilemmas regarding the morality of parents choosing children based on certain characteristics. Screening for disability and sex is already occurring, and screening for other characteristics is not out of the question in the near future. The idea of “designer babies” is morally questionable for many people worried about “playing God” or causing problems at a broader, societal level. Based on the…
