Nondestructive testing

In “William Harvey: A Life in Circulation”, Thomas Wright asserts that people in the medical field in 1639 disfavour revolutionary ideas when the fundamental principles of medicine are laid and highly valued, and displays William Harvey’s conflict with the hostile critique of his peers and struggles for approval of his controversial theory that opposes all traditional medical practices known in the year 1639. Wright introduces the story in the theatre at the University of Altdorf in Nuremberg,…

The only problem that many scientists had with Darwin’s theory of Evolution, was that they didn’t believe that Natural Selection was the main driving force of Evolution. Everyone at this point, even theologians, accepted Evolution. However, since a lot of people disagreed with Natural Selection, this gave rise to different alternatives to explain the variations of species. Additionally, many naturalists who came up with the different alternatives, the methodology of Natural Selection didn’t…

There are so many diseases in the world nowadays. Every day doctors and pathologists find out a new disorder that may afflict living organisms. Although there are hundreds of thousands of diseases around the world, Mad Cow Disease is unique among them. According to Health and Science Research Blog, a study in 1992 says that there were about 37 thousands cases of Mad Cow Disease reported around the world, but this high number decreased to 29 cases in 2011.

Animal Testing Animal testing is starting to become one of the big worries in today’s society. While other problems come about every so often, such as abortion, they never tend to last more than several years. In contrast, the realities of animal testing have, reasonably, been a worry for informed animal activists for years, and it will continue to be a worry for many more years to come. Recently animal testing has been catching more public eye attention though. While scientists continue to use…

Head Lice is very common with young school age children and very annoying to get rid of. Everyone has had lice at least once. Head Lice are tiny, wingless parasitic insects (Head Lice, 1995-2017).

The Call of the Wild by Jack London is set in the Klondike, where temperatures reach far below zero, and where skill is needed to survive. When Charles, Hal and Mercedes went, they brought many unnecessary items, and got rid of important ones. They would mistreat the animals, to the point of them not being able to walk. They were too stubborn to take advice and warning from others, which lead…

Research on living animals has been practiced since at least 500 BC (Animal Testing Pro & Con). Scientist use animals for many different purposes. Animals are used to test the effectiveness and safety of new drugs before those…

Go! Be a Beast" is an article by Marina Warner. The article was a very interesting one which supports my argument. She starts of by explaining that in the 17th and 18th centuries stories did not go into detail when describing the beast because people had to fear being eaten by animals (417). She goes on to say how different this is to the present were the beast doesn’t even have to transform to be loved by Belle. She gives examples of television shows and modern versions of the story in which…

does not have any moral foundation and argues that because we are morally auto-nomous and live in communities where we reason with others based on our morality, in contrast to animals, we do have rights. This brings in the second point of animal testing for the better of human progression. In his view we cannot view animal experimentations as morally unjust against because if it weren't for the every so often infliction of pain and suffering to them our current modern medicine would not be…
