“Will Technology Ruin Your Children’s Development?” published by Dhruvin Patel is a good article for research because the author displays extensive experience in the medical field and uses advanced research. Also, the publication explores the topic through more than one perspective; it is known of the favored side while the opposing side isn’t criticized. Patel’s article is also up-to-date with it being published this year. Furthermore, “Creating Balance in the New Age of Technology” by Jana…

It is a common misconception that science and literature are opposed. The common belief held is that the two cannot coexist because scientists are too focused on science and authors are too focused on the humanities. However, there is much blending between the two, with many scientists becoming authors and many authors taking an appreciation to science. As evidence, Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen is a perfect example as to how the two can cohabitate the same plane of knowledge and work together in…

In a similar fashion, Will Rodman contradicts nature by perfecting the drug ALZ-112 which fixes Alzheimer's by attacking the genes of host cells with a retrovirus. However, the study of Alzheimer's has more potential for good than reanimating life does (because curing Alzheimer's displays more realistic potential and a higher likelihood to help a large audience of people). But, Rodman still crosses the fine line that determines science does too much when he starts to treat his specimens like…

Frankenstein could be Cloning or stem cell research. Stem cell research is a very complicated process and can lead to difficulties but also has its pro’s and although some people may claim that pursuing stem cell research is like playing the role of god like they said in Frankenstein stem cell research saves many lives. Some cons of stem cell research is that the plasticity or flexibility of these cells to differentiate into desired cells or organs…

Summary: ״The CRISPR Conundrum״ “The CRISPR Conundrum” (2016) by Mary Bates, describes “CRISPR”- clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, which is a new revolutionary technology in genetic engineering. It is a kind of molecular scissors that can be programmed to snip specific bits of DNA. The article talks about the advantages of CRISPR, yet it describes CRISPR’s disadvantages as well. On the one hand, CRISPR is a cheap and precise technique to edit the DNA of animals,…

The goal of the current proposal is to recognise what neuroplasticity is, how it works and the result of change due to injury. Neuroplasticity; (derived from the root words neutron and plastic, the word neuron meaning the nerve cells in our brain and the word plastic meaning to mold, sculpt or modify) refers to the brains potential to reorganise itself, alter its structure and change its function by creating new neural pathways, to necessarily adapt to circumstances due to injury, growth or…

puzzled expression as 20 other 14-year olds in the room. The white polo clad Ms. Bhargava gave us her typical vague metaphor, “It is a slope on a mountain with many ridges. The organic cell is a ball that is rolling down the slope. The ridges change the path of the ball, which is like points in time in which a cell gets more specialized. The epigenetic landscape is just a way to explain differentiation and specialization.” The weird analogy took me a bit of time to register. The subject of…

In the article “ Smart Machines Are Not a Threat to Humanity”, Alan Bundy argued against people’s fear of Artificial Intelligence. Many predictions have been made about our future if machines or robots become more intelligent, and people are afraid that one day machines will owe humans as pets, kill them or take over their job opportunity. Bundy noted that machines can be smart but not in all aspects for instance, medical diagnosis machines can give a wrong treatment when they face a disease…

The third and final example of their use of the rhetoric device pathos is during the scene were the record producer of Girl Talk named Gregg Michael Gillis talks about his work in medicine. This scene in the film was a very well executed use of pathos in many ways. For one they show us that medicine could be much further than it is now but because of the patents that companies have on the most basic of ideas, they cannot use the information that was found to add to their own personal idea. This…

and physicians are always studying more about treating various illnesses. Stem cell transplant has become one of the most promising methods of treatment, using 3 types of cells—those from bone marrow, blood and umbilical cord—to give patients new cells that will grow into healthy ones. While the first two require a separate donor who must be a close match to the individual who is needing treatment, umbilical cord stem cells are stored from birth to be used later on for the same person’s own…
