It is no secret that we are on the verge of making both technological and biological progress. Imagine a scenario in which you were fighting for your country or perhaps your family and unfortunately you lost your arm, your leg, or even part of your face. Today, we see these losses as needing a prosthetic, which is a device that is made from plastic or metal that takes the place of the body part that was lost in order for you to maintain a proper functionality within society. I think a better…

To Legalize or Not Legalize Organ Sales Think about a world with on organ shortage for transplants. This thought would be a real if organ sales were legal. Legalizing organ sales could have many benefits. Not to mean there is no negative factors, it is that the many benefits outweigh the many negative factors.

Technology has advanced further in the past 20 years than people even thought possible, these advancements were joked about in cartoons and fantasized in comics.

front of your eyes takes a strong stomach. Some of my classmates couldn’t look at her at all, others would look, but couldn’t touch, and then there was me and a few others could look and touch and cut into this thing that we never felt was human. My anatomy lab was Wednesday nights from five to seven forty-five on the top floor of Weyandt, the natural science building. As soon as you walked in the door you could smell her body. It wasn’t formaldehyde, which would have been much worse, but the…

1.1 Background Our skin comprised of two main parts – epidermis and dermis. Epidermis is the superficial and thinner portion which serves to protect the skin and underlying tissues from abrasions, heat, microbes and chemicals. The deeper and thicker connective tissue portion called as dermis hosts several accessory structures of the skin like hair follicles, oil (sebaceous) glands and sweat (sudoriferous) glands. Sebaceous glands secrete greasy substances called sebum that will moistens the…
