were derived in 1998, scientists have hotly debated the ethicality of human embryonic stem cell research. While some people believe that the disassembly of embryos in order to obtain embryonic stem cells is in violation of the right to life of the embryos, the research of these embryonic stem cells has the potential to result in treatments which may save the lives of millions in years to come. Research concerning human embryonic stem cells is thought to hold cures/treatments to Multiple…

In the year of 1959, Ellis founded the Albert Ellis Institute which was previously known as the Rational Living Institute. At this institute, Ellis created a behavioral approach that would be known as rational-emotive cognitive behavioral therapy. The institute is still in place and psychologists from around the world work at the institute researching the current methods of RECBT. Ellis initially created rational-emotive cognitive behavioral therapy…

emerged that allows for new possibilities for patient waiting for a lifesaving organ or for those in fear of rejection. Stem cell is the future of modern day medicine. These unique cell can conform into different type of tissues and organs. The research that is being conducted is still relatively new and is in need for support. Many thing have interfered with the development of this projection. Either…

applications. In nutshell, genetic engineering is the driving force of biotechnology industry in the world .In this filed, there are two areas of interest, that is production of beneficial enzymes and proteins in large quantities and secondly the creation of transgenic plants, animals and genetically modified microorganisms. The new features have new character traits that are beneficial for them by using of recombinant DNA technology. Meanwhile, biotechnology has…

antibiotics effective. In the article “Nonmedical Uses of Antibiotics: Time to Restrict Their Use?” Richard William Meek, Hrushi Vyas, and Laura Jane Violet Piddock (2015), presented the results that were obtained from a study conducted for the Institute of Microbiology and Infection at the University of Birmingham, which concluded that “New antibiotics are needed urgently, but better use of existing agents is just as important,” as the team found an overuse of antibiotics in the practices of…

Malaria is one of the most prominent public health epidemic worldwide. It’s the leading cause of death and disease effecting half of the world’s population. According to World Health Origination (2013) 3.2 billion people live in areas at risk of malaria transmission in 106 countries and territories. Vulnerable populations such as rural poor, young children and expecting women who are more exposed to infection with the least access to services are at elevated risk for transmission of this deadly…

discovered. Stem cells, according to the National Institutes of Health, are unspecialized cells with remarkable potential for developing into a variety of organic structures (Stem Cell Basics: Introduction). These biological components were first discovered in human umbilical cord blood in 1978, and in 1981, they were first successfully developed from mice blastocysts conceived through in vitro fertilization (Murnaghan). As research…

An article in the Smithsonian describes how scientists in a Chinese genomics institute used a common gene editing enzyme called TALENs to create micropigs, which weigh about 33 pounds at maturity. These micropigs were first created to study the human stomach bacteria and new medications, which can help answer questions about the human body itself. By using an enzyme to stop the pigs from growing, the researchers altered their DNA, which would then be passed down to their offspring. This is…

Virginia public schools that do not already include intelligent design and creationism into their curriculum should be required to. There are many people in the scientific community that regard creationism and intelligent design as pseudoscience. They believe this because they claim there is a lack of scientific proof for both theories and an abundance for their own. However, Creationism and Intelligent Design both have evidences for their legitimacy. The Virginia Board of Education (VBOE) and…

In 1927, J. Robert Oppenheimer received his doctorate. He proceeded to accept double professorships at the University of California, Berkeley, and the California Institute of Technology. Additionally, Oppenheimer's family was influential on his life as well. J. Robert Oppenheimer’s father was Julius Oppenheimer. He was a wealthy, Jewish textile importer who had immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1888…
