Philadelphia Experiment

No experiment on animals is illegal, no matter how cruel , irrelevant to human health, redundant, or painful. In the summer id 1981, one if peta’s founders, a student named Alex Pacheco, wanted experience in a lab. Alex began working undercover at institute for Behavioral Research. The institute for Behavioral research was in silver spring, Maryland. Edward Taub a man with no medical training had 17 monkeys living monkeys living in a small wired cages that were caked with years of feces. The…

Today, more animals are being used for experiments than ever before. In the United States alone, about one hundred million animals are being used for experimentation (Goodman). This has been a controversial topic for several decades and today it is not any different. Animal experimentation is crucial in biomedical research because it is needed for advancements in human health. There are no other alternatives to animal experimentation that are as effective. Animals are very similar to humans…

Mendeleev's Lab The purpose of this lab is for us to obtain a clear understanding of the way Mendeleev viewed his lab. Mendeleev was a Russian chemist who invented the Periodic law and made his own rough sketch of the periodic table. We have to realize what differences and similarities elements have with each other. As of the similarities we have to identify the physical properties of the elements and compare them. Also, this analyzes what trends certain elements shared within in the periodic…

Animal Experimentation and Research Many lives are lost each year as a result of disease, and scientists are frantically trying to keep up by producing cures to new diseases. Experimentation in animals is a common method to achieving such a cure. The experimentation is controversial for several key reasons. Animal rights has been an issue for several decades, and the ethics of experimenting are constantly being questioned. Yet animal experimentation clearly has benefits to humankind and has…

Joseph performance on the attention tasks during this testing exhibited variability. Joseph’s performance on visual attention task was below the threshold of statistical significance; however, it did demonstrate subtle difficulties in the area of detectability, inattention, response speed consistency. He also made slightly more anticipatory errors than others in his age group. There was slight reduction of speed noted during the later blocks. His response speed also showed slight decrease when…

Science fair experiments: a common project assigned to middle school students, allowing them to apply the scientific method to answer a specific question. In 8th grade, we were told to get into groups and choose a topic to research. I decided to analyze computer operating systems and determine which version performed faster; my group members approved of the idea. One of my partners, Christian, had multiple laptops that he had planned to use as test subjects for the experiments, however I…

analogue of racism and sexism.' In referencing this term, Benatar states that humans would be exercising discrimination if they gave different moral weight to the interests of animals. He later recognizes that some individuals find it acceptable to experiment on animals because there are significant differences between humans and animals, and then states that the observation of humans' heightened mental capacities in defending animal experimentation is a questionable argument. That it is…

Animal experimentation refers to a biomedical research method that is based on the studying live animals. Chemical substances deemed as heavily poisonous for humans are used in the animal tissues as reliable models for human beings. However, in reality, every species is different b terms of their immunology, physiology, gene expression or anatomy, meaning that each animal can only be its own model. In many ways, animal experimentation causes harm to human beings. For one, new chemical…

Abstract The objective of this lab is to analyze DNA samples using gel electrophoresis and reaction enzymes and then comparing them to the DNA found at a “crime scene” to detect a match. After the experiment was complete the Materials & Methods Part 1 To begin this part of the experiment there needs to be a couple of reaction tubes labeled 1 through 4. First 10 microliters of reaction buffer to reaction tubes 1 and 2. You will then need to add 15 microliters of suspect 1’s DNA to both tubes…

The first hypothesis stated that if rabbits have brown fur, they will be more likely to survive under food conditions within a cold environment. The data from the experiment disproved the hypothesis. In the controlled version, where the food survival was out of play, there were more white fur rabbits at generations 3 (13 to 5) and 6 (340-150). When the food survival was put into play, there were more white fur rabbits at generations 3 (6-0) and 6 (1-0). While the white fur generation had nearly…
