Abortion has been legal since 1973, when the supreme court 's Roe vs. Wade legalized abortions. For many years, clinics have provided people with reproductive ovaries with easier access to healthy and safe abortions because of this law. Abortions have helped people who have been raped, became victim of incest, dying because of giving child birth, and people who just can 't go through a pregnancy abort a fetus. Abortion has also been one of the biggest controversies of all time, one that is…
Hearing the words “stem cell research” can yield thoughts of mad scientists, aborted embryos, “playing God” and unethical medicinal practice, those however are not factual assumptions. These ideas have been pumped into our heads by negative and selective news outlets that only expose us to the nitty-gritty bits about this euphoric, and potentially life-saving, new science. So what is all the fuss really about? Stem cells. These cells specialize in conjoining to form a certain part of the body,…
four cells are mesendoderm, trophoblast, mesenchymal stem cells, and neural progenitor cells. Mesendoderm cells are the inside tissue of the fetus. The second cell is trophoblast, this cell helps nourish and care for the fetus as it develops the placenta. Another cell is the mesenchymal stem cells, they develop into cartilage then into bone as the fetus develops into a newborn. The last cell is neural progenitor cells, they cell keeps track of what genes were trabnscribed into what cell type, as…
This is because a lack of vitamin reaching the fetus across the placenta, the low level of vitamin K in breast milk, and low colonic bacterial synthesis. Vitamin K deficiency is uncommon in otherwise healthy adults. Vitamin K deficiency bleeding or VKDB occurs when babies cannot stop bleeding because their blood does…

The germinal stage starts with fertilisation. When the egg is fertilised it is called a zygote. The most common is to be fertilised in the fallopian tube, then the zygote is moved along the fallopian tube toward the uterus. It is a long trip that can take up to a week, all the while on this journey the zygote is dividing and growing. Once the zygote has divided multiple times the zygote changes into a blastocyst. A combination of forty-six chromosomes determines the physical characteristics and…
Skloot makes sure that none of the events shown in her book are her portrayals of each character. Their words are not interpreted or altered in any way and the voice of each character is raw and direct from the source. The characters are developed in two ways. From a third person point of view in which she describes the Lacks family’s past or by the direct dialogue between Skloot and the Lacks family. Also, the main rhetorical device to keep the rule of “show, don’t tell” is diction of the…
Your animal can get become infected with Scrapies during lambing as a result of the lamb coming in contact the placenta and birthing fluids.

Throughout the first five weeks of this class, Developmental Psychology, we have covered many important topics both on blackboard and throughout the first eight chapters in our book. The topic I am going to discuss is on The Prenatal Environment: Threats to Development in Chapter 2. One article I found only focuses on one teratogen: an environmental agents such as a drugs, chemicals, virus, or other factor that produces birth defects. The article is called “Prenatal Methamphetamine Exposure and…
Within the world there are many groups, a group is defined as "A collection of three to twenty people who feel a sense of belonging and common purpose." (Verderber, 170) Each group has its own construct, communication and reason for forming. In the movie 10 Things I Hate About You there are many examples of the different types of groups. One example would be an interest group, "A group composed of people who come together because they share a common interest." (Verderber, 171) In the high school…
