3. Why a malaria vaccine is required? When microorganism enter the body, the immune system fight these foreign antigens by production of T or B-lymphocytes that produces antibodies, which effectively neutralize foreign invaders. Human body take several days to produces antibodies, while microorganism attack and multiply in the body and produce serious illness before immune system can fit back, this is a reason behind the vaccine manufacturing and development (CDC, 20175; Sarkander et al., 2016;…

Every day you hear more and more stories about a couple that is having troubles getting pregnant. Through the advancements in technology over the past decade, reproductive technologies have made it easier for couples struggling to have children to become pregnant. The means of doing this is through In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Surrogate Mothering. Many ethical debates have arisen from these technologies being used and becoming more popular over the years. Many people see different issues…

Stem Cells Enhance Life Nancy Reagan, former first lady of the United States explains her feelings about stem cell research by stating, “Now science has presented us with a hope called stem cell research, which may provide our scientists with many answers that have for so long been beyond our grasp.” Day after day, the research and use of stem cells greatly increase allowing for scientists to explore the unimaginable, creating a large amount of life from a single, minute cell. Stem cell…

Abortion There are many issues in American today. From drugs, to violence, to many pregnancies. Which leads to abortion. The abortion rate in the United States has gradually increased in the past years because of the abortion laws. Abortion should be illegal in the United States because abortion is murder. It is also not needed and there are many risks to having one. What is abortion? “Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy before birth” (1:14). The ending of a pregnancy before birth is wrong.…

According to Simon and Farndon (2008), genetic disorders are abnormalities in an individual 's gene or set of genes which could be due to mutations in the DNA. Also, there are thousands of genetic diseases that can occur as it is estimated that the average rate of genomic mutation is about 2x10-8 per nucleotide per genome (Nachman and Crowell, 2000). Furthermore, they can be grouped into three types named single gene disorders, chromosomal disorders and multifactorial conditions (Milewicz, 2007)…

through a donation with the consent of the parent, which is of no harm to the newborn child and can actually be held in storage for the child in case of a future event where they may need a donation of their own stem cells. Some individuals also donate gametes (sperm and egg cells) which are used to create embryones in the lab where stem cells are taken from them within a specific time frame before they are considered to be living. They are typically taken within a three to five day time limit…

According to the professor of English at the university of Arkansas, M Keith Booker, an, “ Anti - Utopia (is) a non existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space that the author intended a contemporaneous reader to view as a criticism of utopianism or some particular eutopia” (3). Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World falls under this genre. It depicts a society in which throws conventional morals out the window and citizens finds happiness through drugs…

Transgenesis Transgenesis is the process in which an exogeneous gene (transgene) is added to an organism genome, and this results in expression of the gene which can then be passed down to its offspring. I have chosen to research how the Enviropig has been manipulated using transgenic techniques. The transgene inserted into the Enviropigs genome is Escherichia coli K12’s phytase gene, this gene gives the Enviropigs the ability to produce phytase in their salivary glands, and it gets infused in…

How can animals facing extinction be helped using modern science? Identification and description of the problem Extinction is referred to as the death of the last organism of a certain species; thus ending those organisms altogether. However, since most species are globally spread out this is something that takes careful consideration of every fact such as ‘is there a possibility the organism may have has a chance of survival somewhere unexpected?’(Hawking, 2012) Biologists have been trying…
