Proponents, like Joanna MacKay, have shown how legalized organ sales would significantly relieve the shortage and benefit both sellers and…

Often, contemplation of these difficult topics can enhance an individual’s understanding of both themselves and the world around them in meaningful ways.

The Glenoid Labrum: Labral Tear Number Twenty-Two PED161 2 LABRAL TEAR The Glenoid Labrum is a protective disk of fibrocartilage that surrounds and deepens the cavity of the Glenoid.

It is attached to the edge of the shoulder socket and supports the ball of the joint -or the head of the arm bone, known as the humerus- in order to stay in place.

We have all been trapped at one point or another in our lives. Whether it is emotionally, physically or mentally trapped, we have all been there. Within the novel Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro, we find quite a few people, or should I say clones, who are trapped, but do not realize they are. The clones within this novel are not fairly treated nor do they even have a chance at their own lives. They are just a part of one big experiment that humans are testing out, but even along the way they…

Legends always told: Those who climb Mount Ebott never return. For years, children dared each other to scale the legendary mountain, only to turn back before the steep slopes. Parents warned incessantly never to go near the place, to stay in their homes and villages, safe from whatever unspoken danger loomed about the mountain. It had a certain mysticism to it, one that kept children coming back again and again, staring through the treetops of the surrounding forest. But so far, that mystery…

I learned many valuable lessons from this book which gave me a different view on evolution and life. My first take was that species with shorter life spans evolve quicker and benefit the species as a whole. Before reading this, I believed organisms with short life spans were weak because they couldn’t live long. These organisms with short life spans were able to reproduce way quicker than most organisms. Rapidly, they can evolve which benefits the species as a whole which helps it achieve the…

"Body Rituals among the Nacirema" was a well written article. Horace Miner presented a strong argument to back up the claim of magic and the human body being a major factor in the Nacirema culture rituals. The opinions and biases were kept to a minumum, and rather let the argument speak for itself. The article did not come of as harsh nor judgmental, but some choice words made the culture sound more exotic in some situations than need be. The format was also logically laid out and easy for the…

with my adventure, went to the pig’s stomach and poked a little hole in it, and brown liquid started to oozing out. It was probably the most disgusting but exciting thing I have seen in that class. When I found out my school offered physiology and anatomy I knew I had to take it, I have always wanted to dissect an animal and even a human because I want to see inside our bodies. How everything works, what doesn’t work when you do this to it or whatever it is. I want to be able to hold in my…
