largest number of vitamins (e.g. B complex vitamins) function as precursors for enzyme cofactor bio-molecules (coenzymes), that help act as catalysts and substrates in metabolism. When acting as part of a catalyst, vitamins are bound to enzymes and are called prosthetic groups. For example, biotin is part of enzymes involved in making fatty acids. Vitamins also act as coenzymes to carry chemical groups between enzymes. For example, folic acid carries various forms of carbon group – methyl,…

is based on the fact that the priority when treating terminally ill patients should be on the quality and not quantity of life. This means that patients must be allowed to have the right to make their own decisions. In a study conducted on assisted suicide in Oregon in 2015, the number one concern for patients requesting PAS is losing autonomy, with…

Human rights exist to allow us to live with dignity and free of unjust suffering. Animals and humans differ in many ways, but like people animals deserve the right to a life free of anguish. Although animal farming and experimentation contribute to everyday life and the advancement of today’s society, animals deserve the right to a life without suffering and exploitation for the benefit of others. Humans need to recognize that animals are conscious beings, have emotions and experience physical…

to promote child development and has good face validity but evolutionary ideas are very difficult to test and so, difficult to prove or disprove. Bowlby’s theory focuses on the role of the mother. There is evidence that in two parent families, the quality of attachment of the father can also be a big effect on the child’s behaviour and…

Girl” this is classified as name calling. While it is not physically hurting, it hurts the ego. When the boy “rushed forward, and grabbed her tumbler” this is an example of physical bullying because it has physically effected her. She no longer has food to eat while she is very hungry. So hurt by the words of her classmates and in fear of a similar activities happening again, she skipped every day of school for the remainder of the school year. Still, every morning her Grandma would “drop her at…

nitrogen and phosphorus which is dangerous towards human health and also the effect on the communities water supply. A study carried out into the killing of animals explains to us how millions of animals are being slaughtered each year, not just for food but also for display and clothing, (Fudge, 2006). It is sad once you look at the statistics of how many animals are killed and for what different purposes they are then used for. Nearly every aspect of our lives is dependent on innocent animals…

PharmaCARE had great results when creating the drug AD23 for diabetic use. When PharmaCARE discovered that the drug could not only help diabetic patients but also alzehiner patients, the company saw increased profit revenues. The management and upper executives of PharmaCARE saw a way to make more money for them. The company reacted prematurely in getting the drug out to Alzheimer’s patients. Ethical issues were violated when the company avoided the FDA approval of the new compound of AD23. By…

that discoveries can be made by study cell cultures, studying cells in petri dishes does not compare with testing on a multicellular organisms, with complex nervous and organ systems, like animals and humans have. As animals live, breathe, and process food and information like humans do, it makes sense to keep using them in scientific and commercial testing. Though many treatments have been discovered throughout history, new cures and vaccines are being created every day! According to Chris…

In this essay, I will consider the topic of vegetarianism from the perspective of environmental concerns that are often associated with the production of meat. In the article, Vegetarianism and Planetary health (2000), Michael Allen Fox states that strict vegetarianism ought to be adopted in order to avoid the eco-destructive nature of the livestock industry. Although there may be some truth to Fox’s initial premise which claims that eating meat is harmful for the environment, I will argue that…
