The issue that people…

This week in dynamics of human development we met with our groups for the remander of our class and did some group activities, watched the PBS film of Life’s Greatest Miracle, read Issue #2 in the Taking Sides book, and read chapter 3 in our Development of Children and Adolescents textbook. Issue #2 in Taking Sides was Does Maternal Employment Have Negative Effects on Children’s Development. Bascially it is stating that if a parent is in the workplace or at home, which side would end up in…

and research, this may become a reality very soon. One such technology capable of restructuring genetic codes in human embryos is the CRISPR-Cas9 method. This works by using an enzyme found in bacteria to snip out segments of DNA and replace the section with a customized code of DNA (Burke). Using this method, there is no limit to the changes one can make to a human embryo, whether it is enhancing intelligence, speed, strength, height, beauty, etc. A “Designer baby” is the term used to…

Five minutes pass. Ten, twenty, finally thirty painful minutes have passed. You pick up the white testing stick. You look at the sign. It reads: “+.” Your heart drops. It was not your choice. You never chose to make new life, no, it was forced upon you when he forced you to make “love.” You are shaken, but it will be okay because you can receive an abortion. You drive to the clinic.

tobacco as my topic because I noticed that drinking and smoking are the major concerns in New Zealand. According to Pilitteri (2003), teratogen is defined as any agent, substance or environmental factors which can cause abnormalities when a developing embryo is exposed to it during pregnancy. Bellinger (2005) points out that there are billions of potential teratogens and it can be found at anywhere, such as home or workplace. For example, teratogen can be tobacco, alcohol, medications,…

Are we ready for an America made one quarter of genetically abnormal persons? Yet, this is how America will be, if fertilized eggs are given legal personhood. Fertilized eggs are single celled embryos which are incapable of survival on their own. Granting them legal personhood will be against the interests of humanity. It will invariably politicize the matter, interfere with research that can potentially revolutionize healthcare, deprive men and women of the right to choose the fate of their sex…

Plastic: A Toxic Love Story In the words of Susan Freinkel, “Plastic has built the modern world”. In this book, Freinkel recounts plastic’s original origins dating back to 1869 when the young inventor John Wesley Hyatt created a “white material with the consistency of shoe leather but a capacity to do much more”. This began the descent into the world we now know as Plasticville, and Freinkel’s information on the backstories of the eight most used plastic products: chairs, credit cards, combs,…

produced by the following: 1. Uterine glands • The uterine glands secrete a glycogen-rich product. This secretion of glycogen-rich product takes place after ovulation. The substance being secreted is key for the development and survival of a fetus/embryo. 2. Leydig cells • Leydig cells form and secrete testosterone. The testosterone is secreted in response to the lutenising hormone. Spermatozoa production is promoted by the testosterone secreted. The testosterone being secreted by the Leydig…

sativa L. var. longifolia) seeds? Research Question How does unused motor oil affect the percent germination of Romaine Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) seeds? Background Germination in seeds is when the seed coat breaks revealing the embryo or sprout of the plant (Biology Online). For a seed to properly germinate it must have water, oxygen, and the correct temperature (BBC). Each type of seed has a specific range of conditions like temperature, amount of water and light that will…
