Watching someone slowly die is one of the worst things to witness, and it is impossible to understand the pain that they are going through. According to New Health Guide, human euthanasia is legal in Belgium,…

The idea of stories or text being reinvented or reconstructed is not unusual any more. Many original texts such as Frankenstein can be transformed into many new or even unrecognizable remakes using any sort of mediums by any composer changing not only the mediums but also the plot for the story drastically. Frankenweenie is one of the remakes of the original Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The novel got its title from the main character in the novel, Victor Frankenstein, which was inspired by…

Question 2 Immunotherapy with checkpoint blocking antibodies: A new novel strategy in cancer treatment In addition to conventional methods of cancer treatment, the body’s own immune system can have activity against cancer. It was first hypothesised that some cancers can be recognised by the immune system, a concept known as “immune surveillance” (Burnet, 1970). Studies in animal models have provided support for the idea that pre-established immunity to tumour associated antigens can result in…

GMOs are in almost everything we put into our bodies. Genetically Modified Organisms are put into the simplest of foods, like fruits, vegetables, meats, and even candy. According to Bill Freese at the Center for Food Safety “GMOs are present in 60 to 70 percent of foods on supermarket shelves; the vast majority of processed foods contain GMOs.” Genetically modified organisms were put into food to improve taste, quantity, and to save money. But what people do not know, is that GMOs act as toxins…

For years, scientists have relied on animals to test cosmetic, hygienic, and medical products before administering them to humans. Although scientific breakthroughs and discoveries have been made by using animals to test these products, most animals experience unnecessary abuse and cruelty. Even if some products are effective when used by animals, this does not guarantee that they will be effective in humans. There are currently no established laws that protect small animals that are currently…

Marc Bekoff, a Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, stated, “Human beings are a part of the animal kingdom, not apart from it. The separation of ‘us’ and ‘them’ creates a false picture and is responsible for much suffering.” Animals deserve to live, not to suffer, because animals provide great benefits for us humans; different test methods utilized could replace the harm to animals. Preventing animals from being tested on, scientists need to come up with different test methods to not…
