The article written by Bioethics mainly focuses on discussing the purposes to clone children for the childless. "If a man could not produce sperm, cloning would allow him to have a child who is biologically related to him"("PCBE: Human Cloning and Human Dignity: An Ethical Inquiry -- Full Report" 2002).Couples who desire a biological child and are faced with infertility obstacles would benefit from cloning to produce children because they would no longer be stripped from the opportunity of…

of the Earth. Dinosaurs were the dominant land animals for 160 million years, making them one of the most successful groups of animals ever. They first appeared about 230 million years ago and ruled the Earth for about 135 million years until an extinction event 65 million years ago that wiped out all the dinosaurs. Many individuals are fascinated by these creatures, however, they believe in the benefit…

De-extinction is something that is being thought about by scientists around the world, but some are thinking differently than others. There are two sides to de-extinction: if it should or should not be done. Scientist and even just regular, not fully informed people are debating about this on a daily basis. Some believe it's something that we should do this to "restore traditional values, strengthen families, and encourage education", while others believe that "Being able to do something doesn’t…

Imagine, at a young age being torn from your family and everything you have ever known. You are placed in a strange cage that is far too cramped for you while creatures you've never seen stare, laugh and throw objects at you. They control your every life and if you don't do exactly as they say you won't get to eat that day. Everyday you fear for you life and hope that someday the misery will end. No living creature should ever have to endure this, unfortunately, for captive animals this is the…

and have adapted to live in that region’s climate and habitat. These species live in this region with all the other species to form an ecosystem. Non native species on the other hand, are species that are introduced to an area they're not used to by humans, either by accident, or intentionally (getthegreen). Invasive species are a type of non native species, that are very likely to cause harm to the ecosystem (NOAA). They destroy the habitat of other species, and eventually kill plants, and/or…

Most threats facing animals and plants at present can be linked to human influences. Habitat destruction is the greatest contributor to the extinction of species. Human actions which threaten biodiversity can be divided into two categories, deliberate actions and unintentional actions. Many habitats for example, swamps, wetlands, forests and other habitats get destroyed for human consumption and industrial gain. By destroying habitats, many different animals face death because they no longer…

An Empty World Imagine a world where humans were extinct. It’s seems far fetched right? Well, that’s a reality for too many species. Extinction rates have been rising because of many factors, including overfishing, overhunting and habitat loss. There have been five mass extinctions in our history, and some scientists say we are on the brink of the sixth one. “In the last five hundred years, 869 species have gone extinct” (Species Extinctions the Facts). There is a critical need to keep…

The field of psychology covers many topics of human behavior, but phobias and addictions are often its practical applications in everyday life. Through classic and operant conditioning, subjects can be lead into powerful phobias or addictions which can affect their lives to the point of intervention. These phobias and addictions can be nearly impossible to get over without the process of extinction. Through the implementation of classic and operant conditioning, we can explore the deep-seated…
