Ovum

For Judith Jarvis Thomson abortion is something that should be a negative right, provided that it has certain guide lines. One in which abortions are neither a right that should be given or taken away. Thomson begins by arguing that there is no right time to mark the point in which a person should begin to be considered a person. She then gives an example of an oak tree and how it is not called an oak tree at the beginning, but goes through stages to become an oak tree. For people to claim…

Fertilization produces more embryos that are actually used, therefore all of embryos that fail to be embedded do not classify as human persons. On the other hand those who are pro-life are aware that a fetus is human life, but so are semen and the ovum before it is fertilized. Willis states “They are both human products, and both are living things. But not even evangelicals say that the destruction of one or the other would be murder.” Willis brought up a good point in his article which makes…

Nervous tissues have neurons and nerves that support cells. Its function is to send impulses to different areas of the body. It reacts to stimuli and conducts impulses to different organs in the body that carry a response to the stimulus. Nerve tissues are in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves which are all made up of neurons. http://www.msnucleus.org/membership/html/k-6/lc/humanbio/4/lchb4_3a.html Cardiovascular system The cardiovascular system is made up of your heart, your blood…

How the human body works Cell membrane: A cell membrane is a thin layer that forms a semi- permeable barrier around the outer surface of the cytoplasm of the cell and controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. Nucleus: It contains DNA for making new cells and organisms and also controls the reaction in the cell. Chromosomes: Thread- like structures found in the nucleus of the cell which carry the genetic information Cytoplasm: The liquid gel which makes up a lot of the body of…

A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells. “The essential characteristics of [these] cells are their ability for self-renewal and the ability to form one or more specialised cell types over time” (Carvalho and Ramalho-Santos 596). In other words, they serve as an internal repair system. When a stem cell divides, each new cell can either remain a stem cell or any other type of cell with a normal yet more specialized and…

In most societies, people will tend to define “good” as whatever brings pleasure and happiness and “bad” as whatever is burdening or distressing. Therefore, we should seek out the good in life and avoid the bad. However, in cases of abortion where a potential life is considered “bad”, is it justified to remove it? After all, life is often viewed as the highest intrinsic good, and thus deliberately taking it away becomes a serious moral issue. Pro-life arguments, or arguments opposing abortion,…

In this report I am going to discuss the impact of Down’s syndrome, Sickle cell anaemia and Cystic fibrosis on the individual and society. I am going to include what causes the condition, the impacts on the individual physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs. The first condition that I am going to discuss is Down’s syndrome. Down’s syndrome is a genetic condition known as trisomy; this is where a person has an extra copy of one chromosome; people who have Down’s syndrome have 47…

Are Stem Cells Worth The Cost? Introduction Stem Cells have a lot of potentials to cure/heal the human body, but is it worth the cost? Embryonic stem cells have the potential to transform medicine. Scientist and doctors believe they could potentially treat a myriad of human conditions and diseases, such as spinal cord injury, type 1 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and many others. However, there are many issues and barriers to fulfilling this potential. Helping people walk again sounds like…

When it comes to living a ~~ life, people tend to define “good” as whatever brings enjoyment and happiness and “bad” as whatever is burdening or distressing. Therefore, we should seek out the good in life and avoid or remove the bad. In cases of abortion, though, where a life is unwanted and burdensome, is it justified to remove it? After all, a life is viewed as a much higher value than s personal goods. Pro-life arguments opposing abortion say that each child has the right to life, is a human…

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study Poetry is one of genres in literature. When we try to define it, we will find out that poetry, just like love, is not something easy to be defined. Laurence Perrine in “Sounds and Sense: An Introduction to Poetry” (1969:3) defines poetry as a kind of language that says more and says it more intensely than does ordinary language. From that definition, we can say that poetry contains a complexity of human’s feeling and mind. In order to…
