Bird anatomy

The verse opens featuring a natural phenomenon, in this case being an owl in the wintertime, “Coming down/ out of the freezing sky/”. As Oliver writes that the owl leaps from it’s perch, the bird of prey instinctively notices a scurrying beneath the thick layer of white snow and thrusts it’s taloned toes into the cold. The owl then emerges in glorious fashion and rises over the frozen tundra to watch for more movement underfoot. Following this…

Did you know that “over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in US labs every year”(“11 Facts About Animal Testing”)? Animals testing is the experimental, research, and testing of animals to help seek the different affects a product can have on someone. Many animals are abused daily to ensure the safety of cosmetics, medicine, and other products. They are also used to see if there are any side effects in a product, while also making sure they are safe for people to use…

Organ supplies are stagnant and scarce. This poses a critical issue. Fortunately with today’s technology, (aside from human transplantation) two major potential solutions have derived: xenotransplantation (the process of replacing human organs with animal organs) and organ engineering or tissue engineering (creating tissues and organs from human cells). Aside from the promising benefits and breakthroughs, these two methods are far from perfect, and although there has been successful cases, there…

As science is consistently improving, generation after generation, one can wonder what is in store for mankind’s progression. Humans are the most intelligent, ergonomic, and dominant species known to inhabit this little blue marble known as Earth. However, as science progresses, morals and ethics become a deciding factor in whether certain scientific experiments can be performed. Human cloning is an argument whose dividing line is ethics. Human cloning has been a topic of debate for now a…

The outpour in which organ trafficking occurs allows pure dominance, power and a developmental global adaption. It captures and eliminates those who are the poor, vulnerable, displaced, disgraced or dispossessed. It is a life or death drama, victims or donors may walk away content and recipients may return home with a new lease of life. Although the complexity and significance of this global transition is endemic, it’s gradually becoming a bigger issue. Yet, among all, the worldwide demand for…

“There really is no need for human cloning” (Oscategui 1). Scientists and philosophers often debate the issue of human cloning and whether clones possess traits that qualify them as human or not. First, clones display characteristics of humans in the emotional and personality sense, but the purpose of a clone’s life differs from humans. Next, clones lack a biological manner of production, but clones still possess the same body parts and physical characteristics of a human body. Lastly, the…

Almost everyone knows the dangers of drinking and driving, and thousands of people died due to car crash every single day. One of the main leading causes of injuries and deaths is drunk while driving. Many people do not really care about the fact that drunk driving is very dangerous and may cause a serious fatality to death. However, a very well-known and luxurious car brand, BMW, creates an advertisement about “Don’t Drink and Drive” in 2009. This picture came out on google.com when I searched…

Dear Global Teacher Prize Academy Committee, I am very pleased to recommend Dr. Katherine Heavers for the Global Teacher Prize. I was a 12th grade student in her class from 2014 to 2015. The course was called Human Anatomy and Physiology, but that name does not do everything she taught me justice. In her classes, she sets aside five to ten minutes for students in one of the most competitive N.J. schools to relax with yoga techniques. Reinvigorated, students listen to a quote from Dr. Heavers and…

The gift of life, these simple words may have different meanings to all of us in our class, but there is a special type of gift that each and every one of us can give. This gift is being an organ donor, an opportunity to give someone another chance at life once yours is completed. In this speech; I hope to persuade you, my COM 101 class, to become an organ donor. According to Donate Life America as of May of 2015, there are nearly 124,000 people on the waiting lists in the United States…
