extinction is possible, should scientists attempt to do so? The topic of de-extinction is being widely debated within the scientific community. Some scientists claim that bringing back extinct species would be a giant step forward in genetic engineering and that it would provide researchers with another source of information regarding evolution. Others argue that bringing back extinct animals is unethical and could even destroy still-living species’ habitats. Scientists have recently been able…

Do scientists need the Scientific Method to perform a meaningful experiment? It is undeniable that the best way to solve a problem in science is through a series of steps that lead to the solution. Since early stages in the development of Science, scientists have had the need of following certain steps in order to solve problems they were curious about to research. According to historians, Isaac Newton was the first researcher to complete the early process of the scientific method. (Yahoo…

is, even when there is information available to indicate a majority or lack thereof. However, he claims that people are not unexposed or indifferent to scientific facts. Although they require scientists to make sense of raw data, they are not scientifically illiterate. Rather, people disagree on what scientists are telling…

with the shame surrounding stem cell research, the potential benefits in the scientific and medical settings outweigh the negatives. The government does not give very much money into funding embryonic stem cell research. With the little money that scientists do get, they have very tight restrictions that they have to follow in order for the government to continue to fund them. There are quite a few people in the world that are completely against embryonic stem cell research because they feel it…

animal testing is bad to animals? Animal testing can hurt the animals really badly. Scientists, do this to make sure that the cosmetics will not hurt humans. This means that animals are being tested for cosmetics, it might have a bad effect, and could get the animals sick or kill them. Animals testing should keep on going on even though scientist don't listen because it is a law to not test on animals. Scientists, do this to make sure that humans are not affected by cosmetics. Sometimes the…

Samanta Soter Mr. Price Biology 5 February, 2015 Genetic Problems The movie GATTACA that was directed by Andrew Niccol, featuring Ethan Hawke, who played Vincent Freeman, Jude Law as Jerome Morrow, and Uma Thurman as Irene, has a lot of information about genetic engineering of the offsprings. In the movie, it creates discrimination among the people who have good genes and bad genes. Vincent Freeman was one of those people, so it kept him from accomplishing his dreams. Once he found a way to…

The passage I am doing is from the author Ashley Montagu. This passage is about how emotions and prejudices influence the way scientists conduct their practice which leads into how the political belief of a scientist is coralated with his or her standing on nature and nurture. The author argues that scientists emotions and prejudices do in fact have a role to play in the way they do science. I will be stating my key concepts for this passage, i have three key concepts in total. My first concept…

in laboratories for drug, chemical, and cosmetic testing. Some animals are forced to breathe toxic fumes, while others have holes drilled into their skulls, causing pain and suffering. Some scientists use the excuse that animal testing has benefited human life, but by focusing on the justification that scientists have given, Americans overlook the deeper problem of animal research. According to Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, “nine out of ten experimental drugs fail in…

“Engineers shall be entrusted to protect the health, safety, property, and welfare of the public in the practice of their profession” (23). In this paper, we are going to reflect the concept of virtue ethics for engineers, specifically computer scientists. According to Aristotle’s concept in virtue ethics, we shouldn’t focus…

see into the deepest recesses of the universe. It reveals thousands of galaxies that are billions of light-years away. As time marches on, scientists will continue to learn more and more about our using universe advanced scientific technology to create tools to explore the depths of space. For example, thanks to the Kepler, telescope launched in 2009, scientists now know that there are possibly over 3,000 planets orbiting over 2,000 stars in the Milky Way galaxy none of which were known about…
