“Stem cell research is the key to developing cures for degenerative conditions like Parkinson's and motor neuron disease from which I and many others suffer.” This quote, said by Stephen Hawking, explains just one of the possibilities of stem cells in the future yet to be uncovered. Stem cells are commonly known as the “building blocks” of our bodies. They are the foundation of development in plants, animals, and humans. Most stem cells are able to transform into more than 200 types of cells,…

Embryonic Stem cell research has killed many kids and more to come if we do not stop it. Stem cell research can be done with a stem cell from embryos, fetuses, and adult cells. The National Institutes of Health researched to see which would be easiest to use in laboratories. They found out that embryos would be the easiest because they will stay in a underfered state longer than the other cells will. Which means that they are not classified as any type of cell. Stem cell research kills humans,…

On January 11th 2016, Alabama football coach, Nick Saban, won his 4th national championship for Alabama. The University of Alabama is projected to make well over $100 million dollars, solely from the success of the football team this season. Commonly referred to as Nick Satan and the Nicktator due to his charming personality, Saban is scheduled to make more than $7 million dollars just this year. Derrick Henry, the Heisman winning running back who carried the ball over 400 times this year will…

HSCs were able to respond to the presence of other HSCs and change their differentiation (5). Furthermore, donor HSC dosage was able to influence the number of HSC clones that supplied blood cells immediately after transplantation, but not over the long run (5). Moreover, clonal dominance was drastically more present at low HSC dosages (5). Data indicated that more HSC clones are lineage balanced at high HSC dosages (5). However, at low HSC dosages, more HSC cells were lymphoid biased (5).…

Can Cancer Tumors Be Starved to Death? Introduction Point 1 Point 2 Point 3 Conclusion There is research being conducted by a Harvard University researcher, Dr. Judah Folkman about whether cancer tumors can be starved to death. It might be possible to starve cancer tumors to death, but it is not actually clear if it will cure cancer or not. Removal of a primary tumor sometimes leads to a growth of a second one. If researchers could find a way to cure cancer, it could save a lot of lives.…

Government Funding for Stem Cell Research Helps save Lives Many people today consider stem cell research to be unethical and believe it should not be financed by the government. Stem cell research, with the exception of human cloning, should be funded by government because if there are no funds to support stem cell research, countless people would not be alive today. It is even supported by President Barack Obama and many Christians, and with funding so many illnesses and diseases can be…

I was eight when I moved to the U.S from Bangladesh. Shortly after I started school, I realized the importance of language. At the time, I knew some English but it was not enough to carry on a conversation. Due to this limitation, I faced hurtful comments and bullying. I realized the necessity of language in social interaction and communication. When I became fluent in English and started making friends, my interaction with my peers changed for the better. I now realize how language can either…

Many cultures have been inspired by the Unites States, however South Korea has shown Americanization characteristics while still maintaining their own unique traditions. They have learned and are fascinated by the American lifestyle by their differences of religions, traditions, and media. In Korea, the culture is mainly impacted by several values: the importance of family roles, their fine cuisine, and their popular music. Korea is a peninsular country located in the Far East, adjacent to…

In the early 2000’s, a grant was successfully passed for the continuation of research on stem cells. At the time, no one really knew what exactly stem cells were capable of. Even today, the stem cells full potential is unknown by scientists, and further research will hopefully determine what exactly stem cells can do. Many complication have occurred during this process, mainly including whether or not harvesting stem cells is morally correct. What had to be taken into consideration is whether…

lawsuit brings treble damages. Apart from that, would the plaintiffs win the case NCAA Division I sports would be revolutionized, as players would now be allowed to sell their image and negotiate their own sponsorships deals, thereby conflicting their current amateur status. In turn, this could potentially lead to a restructuring of the NCAA divisions, turning the major Division I conferences into its own, separate division…
