The rat is a typical mammal, with a head, clearly defined neck, trunk and tail.

The waiting list is endless and there never seems to be enough time when the chances of resuming life are low and the…

Organ transplants have become a life-saving therapy for thousands of people, and the demands for organs from patients with organ failure for exceeds the supply. While every day, about 18 persons dies because they are waiting on an organ, I disagree with the sales of human organs being legalized.

86,000… That is how many people waited on a list for an organ transplant. In 2003, fewer than 26,000 organ transplants were performed. That leaves 60,000 people waiting, wishing they could be healthy. (Cherry) More than likely, the person will die because they will not have been able to receive an organ. People need organs in order to function and survive in this world. Someone with a bad heart is not being rude or evil for asking for another; it could be a person who is young and full of life.…
