What is a designer baby? It can be defined as a baby whose genetic makeup has been chosen to eliminate a certain defect or to ensure that a specific inheritable factor is present. Designer babies can be somewhat of a debatable topic because although it can help discover genetic disorders in embryos it also leaves the option for the parents to “design their own child” by modification and selecting specific physical and mental characteristics. There are many diverse pros and cons just like in any…

While watching the film Triumph of Life it makes references to important topics we have discussed in class, for instance, when the different species are trying to reproduce, as well as some having the ability for gene cloning. The process of natural selection by which organisms adapt to the environment to produce more offspring and survive to continue their genes in further generations. A process of natural selection is intrasexual selection which is when males compete with other male species…

Family, a concept usually taken for granted, can have many meanings. For some people, this may be their direct biological relations. Others are estimated from their biological family and may seek familial structure in likeminded people. I define my family as a mixture of both of these concepts. As RuPaul once famously said, “As gay people we get to choose our families, and my chosen family includes millions of brave men and women across this country and around the world.” While I have a…

Sex Identification In regards to the human os coxae, Bruzek et al. worked to develop a new tool for sex estimation based on the measurements (Bruzek 2017). They used a database of known sex subjects to develop the Diagnose Sexuelle Probabiliste v2 (Bruzek 2017). The combination of different dimensions can be used to determine likely sex, and as dimensions are added the likelihood increases to higher that 90% (Bruzek 2017). This method used ten metric variables in order to identify the likely…

Throughout life, a person grows from infant to adulthood. Developmental stages and psychosocial crisis are always changing while growing from infancy to adulthood. For this assignment, I will be exploring the characters of Cecil Gaines, Louis Gaines, and Gloria Gaines. These characters are a family. Louis Gaines is the son of Cecil and Gloria Gaines. All three characters are African American, and all have lived through major events that have affected their lives, good or bad, at some point in…

constant changes in secular theories and society about the beginning of the universe and of life on Earth, which give way to the idea of existentialism. Through some research, I found that he is best known for one his evolution paper, called Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution. Dobzhansky states in the article his three predictions that have been disproven in the following years after its publication. These guesses include that Darwin’s theory of the tree of life will…

Nature and Nurture Nature begins the moment conception starts. Our DNA contains our genetic information. It determines the color of our hair, skin, and eyes. It tells our genetic linked diseases and all our other biological characteristics. Nature is our entire genetic make. Nurture is the environmental influences around us, it is what affects our development to make who we are. Some believe that our nature is what makes out to be who we are. They believe that we are genetically made with our…

The Harsh Reality of Animal Testing “Think about spending your entire life like a prisoner, even though you have committed no crime.” This is a reality for animals in laboratories and is accompanied with feels of deprivation, isolation, and misery. In the United States the law allows different forms of animals to be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved, drowned, addicted to drugs, and brain damaged. No matter how painful or trivial, no experiment is prohibited and not one animal’s life…

What am I going to do with my life? What am I going to major in? What do I want to be? Many people ask themselves these questions, especially students who are attending college for the first time. I was one of those students. After meticulous research on possible career paths based on my interests, I came to an answer for all of these questions--I desired to pursue a career in occupational therapy. It is an occupational therapist’s job to aid patients develop, recover, and improve skills needed…

Imagine being born with something you can not help being stereotyped as a future murderer that would hurt would it not? To assume someone will murder is to assume someone is not going to succeed. We can all do this, however, it is one’s free will. Criminal violations are a major issue in today 's society; obviously there will be wrongdoings whether one wants to believe it or not. In any case, does that imply that individuals are all bound to perpetrate wrongdoings in the event that they are…
