is still work to be done, ideas and theories to confirm and disprove, and plenty of other things to explore. One scientific discovery that influence society was the polio vaccine. It was first developed by Jonas Salk in 1949. Although it was replaced by a more effective and easier to use vaccine, this discovery improved society.

The policy (or main issue beyond addressing secondary issues such as right to amend a complaint etc.) at issue in the cases of Tenuto v. Lederle (1997) , Safer v. Estate of Pack (1996) , and Molloy v. Meier (2006) is at which length do physicians have to notifying family (hereditary offspring), close associates, or those in contact with a patient of disease transmission; either through genetic heredity or by contact with a communicable pathogen. In all three cases, the policy is consistent as…

getting the vaccine, but i believe the vaccine helps more than not getting the Flu vaccine. The Polio is a viral disease that can affect any person of any age. The risk of getting the disease is high if you come in contact with the feces of someone affected with Polio. The harm Polio can cause someone to have a fever, headaches, and vomiting, Polio can cause paralysis in people.

Franklin never walked again without the help from his son or an aide who was also infected with Polio but did not have the paralysis as Franklin did. Franklin tried to hide his disability, but people found out when he showed up at the Democratic National Convention on crutches. The photographers felt bad for taking photos while Franklin was getting…

Throughout history, animal experimentation has proved to be crucial to the development of our society. Since as early as the 17th century, we see how animal testings have led to important discoveries such as the understanding of the blood circulation and the function of the lungs in Medieval Europe . And now, scientists are relying on chimpanzees in hopes to help create the Hepatitis C vaccine . Overall, I believe that the state’s policy on animal experiments, as it is covered in the Criminal…

The virus spreads to others and affects them. Vaccines should be required so that we can save the lives of people other than just the ones who don’t get vaccinated. Vaccines are required for…

resulting from HeLa cell research is the creation of the polio vaccine by Jonas Salk. Salk used HeLa cells to test the effectiveness of his vaccine by mixing HeLa cells, the polio virus, and an unvaccinated child 's blood in a test tube. The vaccine adds antibodies to the blood which prevent the virus from killing the cells. In addition to all of these discoveries, researchers have also created a whole new virus by combining ribonucleic acid from the polio virus and the cytoplasm and ribosomes…

1950’s. Today America is still the same during the 50’s and some laws during the 50’s have changed. Many aspects still hold true to American ideals. Lastly, Jonas Salk Invented the vaccine for polio.

The vaccine was a step to evolving the medical field. It saved more lives from a terrible disease that was once…
