In the article, “Bionic spine could pave the way for new paralysis treatments”, we can see how sheep were utilized in a research project. In this study, the sheep were inserted with a stentrode device, which was placed in the blood vessel that is associated with the movement part of their brain. The stentrode, which is also known as a bionic spine is able to pick up the motor cortex’s signals by use of electrodes. For 190 days, the stentrode recorded the signals of the sheep’s movement (NHS…

3.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.1 Materials The main material that used was sodium dodecyl sulphate and Zebrafish embryo. SDS was purchased from Sigma Aldrich with concentration of 99.95%. The embryo of the zebrafish larva was obtained by breeding the adult zebrafish in the laboratory. Furthermore, the other basic materials that was used including aquarium tanks, breeding tanks, water filter, fish food pellet and Instant Ocean Salt. While for the measurement tools that used were pH meter, cylinder,…

Human cloning Human cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical individual, based on a model. Cloning can occur naturally or as an artificial process. The human created, do not emerge from sexual reproduction. First of all one needs to get to know what forms of cloning exist, in order to discuss the question if cloning humans in our real world society is rather something to be in favour of, or to refuse. Cloning can be differentiated in reproductive cloning, which aim it is to…

In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley appears to be against cloning due to the treatment the creature faces from society, the creatures negative behavior, and how Mary Shelley describes the creature. A clone is a cell, cell product, or organism that is genetically identical to the unit or individual from which it was derived (Dictionary). The term cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity. The copied…

Without closely analyzing the book “Frankenstein” many tend to believe that Victor would be a huge part of our advanced research in stem cells and cloning because that was the basis of his work. But they tend not to look at the outcome, just as Victor did when creating the monster. Hungry for knowledge Victor was just like many modern scientists: experimental, curious and bias. A monster was created with two wretched hearts; a baby will be created with two beautiful blue eyes. A monster was…

Dystopian texts often present an exaggerated vision of the world that is vastly different to reality, mostly as the consequence of certain human responses and actions in the past or current society, thus adding to the shocking aspects of the text. Literature of the dystopia genre also challenge preconceptions about the world and the human identity, thus provoking further contemplation about what it means to be human. Kazuo Ishiguro's dystopian novel Never Let Me Go (2005) demonstrates that…

Have you ever thought about what characteristics you would like your child to have? The answer is probably “YES”! We always think about physical and mental traits that we want present in a child. But how many times have all those wishes come true? The answer to this is probably “not a lot”! But now science has once again defied the laws of ethics and nature, and we now have a way! An embryo is one of the earliest stages of reproduction, where all the genetic information starts coming into place…

What is the difference between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning and what are the ethical issues associated with it? Cloning occurs naturally in nature. We can see this in some plants and single celled organisms, like bacteria, which produce genetically identical offspring through asexual reproduction. Ideas of artificial cloning have been around since 1938 when Hans Spermann proposed his "fantastic experiment" to grow an embryo from an egg with a nucleus obtained from another cell.…

fluid flow with in the process chambers largely governs the outcome. Thus research on double diffusive convection flows in relations to various applications in many mechanical and chemical engineering industries and also in fields like oceanography, nuclear technology, renewable energy etc [1-6] became admirable. The research reported in context to double diffusive convection are as flows: Coasta et al. [7] studied the double diffusive convection in a cavity filled with moist air , they…

There are many definitions of thermal comfort, which depends on the aims and expectations of those who defined it (Chappells, and Shove, 2004). Jiao (2010) stated that, the rate at which human body gain and lose energy, and also the state of comfort is satisfactory once all heat flow in and out of the body are in equilibrium. Also, (ASHRAE 2004), described it as “the state of mind that expresses satisfaction with the surrounding environment.” This definition highlights subjective and…
