There’s a long history of smallpox since it has been around for thousands of years. The European settlers first brought smallpox to North America in the 1600s. In 1633-1634, the disease swept through the Northeast, wiping out entire Native American tribes. Native populations in New England are thought to have plummeted by over 70 percent due to this outbreak (Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, 2012). Smallpox is spread when a person breathes it in and out. The virus gets inside the…

Disposal of electronic waste can create more jobs opportunities in the recycling process manufacturers. In European Union for example, effectiveness of waste management also offers substantial economic opportunities. It is estimated 30% of turnover would increase, provide 400 jobs and reduce emission about 150 million tones a year. Beside the amount of e-waste…

The care they give their animals, the space, and the natural process they take is opposite of what super-farms do.

of double stranded DNA putatively coding for some two hundred different proteins; makes smallpox one of the largest viral genomes known which makes it especially difficult to create a synthetic copy of the virus for medical purposes.

Vaccination is an approach of immunization through the inclusion of a pathogen in the human body, that is weakened to ensure that the body reacts by producing antibodies against the disease that you want to prevent. This revolutionary method was discovered by British doctor Edward Jenner in 1796, who found out that by inoculating people with the cowpox virus they were also protected from the smallpox virus and that the immunity could be passed from one person to another. I have to stress…

methods are most beneficial for assessing GMOs. They did many studies, sponsored by the European Commission, and two of these studies included a 90 day and 1 year feeding trial (“EU Research” 1). In the 90 day feeding trial, rats were given two different kinds of maize. At the conclusion of the feeding trial, there were no negative effects found from eating the GMO-maize as opposed to the non-GMO maize. The European Commission made it regulation for GMOs to…

Visualize being trapped in a barren cage all day, trapped from the outside world with no freedom at all, no sense of where you are, and suffering from pain caused by different reasons including drugs, and poisoning.

Imagine having no voice, no say in what you get to do. Unfortunately animals don 't have to imagine this, millions of animals…
