Introduction: The seraphic, illuminating Pearl S. Buck stimulates our moral compass and arouses compunction with the following quote: “Euthanasia is a long, smooth-sounding word, and it conceals its danger as long, smooth words do, but the danger is there, nevertheless.” The nescient who dive into the murky, precarious waters of euthanasia transgress all concepts of morality and ethics, thereby devastating mankind’s longevity that a plethora of medical professionals have arduously crafted. For…

The censorship and banning of books has impacted society greatly due to the the editing of books or complete prohibition of reading them. Books can be banned for many reasons says Debra Whelan, “The reasons range from a book’s sexual content and gay themes to its language and violence.” Similar content is evident in Ender’s Game causing it to be banned in many places. Ender’s Game is about a boy name Andrew “Ender” Wiggin who, at six years old, was selected to join the International Fleet (I.F.)…

Genetically modified foods were started in the year 1973. Scientists have been trying to improve their studies on GMF ever since. A lot of people do not agree with genetically modified plants because of the chemicals that are put into to the foods. None of the chemicals are found extremely harmful but some can become harmful over time especially to the young. Also allergic reactions and intestinal damage can come from GMF. Genetically modified foods can be kept safe from droughts and other…

widgets, laying the groundwork for a handful of corporations to begin taking control of the world’s food supply”(Barlett and Steele 133). They also go on to say “…Monsanto has become the world leader in genetic modification of seeds and has won 674 biotechnology patents, more than any other company, according to the U.S. Department of Agricultural data” (Barlet and Steele 133). This history was put in so that the authors could depict how an unnecessarily large company that took advantage of a…

According to the Essentials of Biology, Genetically Modified Food (GM) are organisms that have been modified by the application of genetic engineering techniques (Mader & Windelspecht, 2015). Genetic engineering is accepted and a necessary practice in biotechnology. However, its use in crops has raised so many controversies. Techniques for genetic alteration have increasingly advanced over the last century from a traditional selective breeding to injecting genes from one organism into another…

One of the hallmarks of a growth company is that they usually invest their profits back into the company for use in acquisitions or various projects to expand their business. It is rare that a growth stock pays dividends to…

Dehradun, also known as "City of Schools" and "School Capital of India", is home to some of India's renowned educational institutions. Apart from this Dehradun also has food processing industry, pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology industry and is also developing as a preferred destination by retired citizens for…

As biotechnology sweeps the world, researchers are reporting data describing how chemical thermodynamics can be utilized to processes for new biochemical products. It is the integrative coarse- grained feature of thermodynamics that makes it attractive for describing…

It is well known that plants contain an abundant source of medicinal properties. It has been estimated that between 25-50% of current prescription pharmaceutical drugs available are derived either directly or through semi-synthetic modifications of natural occurring substances aka the use of bioactive molecules. 
 Stated in the Cancer Therapy ; Fabricant and Farnsworth (2001), reported that 80% of 122 plant derived drugs were related to their original ethnopharmacological purposes.
Dsicussed in…

Surface Runoff Introduction In the experiment taken place a group of three to four of use wanted to test the effects of what multiple chemicals had on Lemna minor. This is also known as duckweed. The chemicals we tested all are harmful, as they do not treat the life cycle of these plants well being in their water. What is Lemna Minor you may ask well stated above it is also known as duckweed but more information helps you know that it is found in ponds and it grows at a rapid rate according…
