Stem cell controversy

The movie, Colossus: The Forbin Project, discussed the use of an artificial intelligence (A.I.) by the government and how it was contrary to humans’ expectations and decided to enslave humanity. Science and technology were found and invented by humans. In 1894, Guglielmo Marconi made the first radio; Now we have iPhone X. Our lives are full of science and technology. It is hard to not using them even if it is just a simple action like calling one’s friend. Some people may start to question…

Butter and margarine have always had a competition between which one is better. Multiple researchers from many universities (such as Harvard) and health clinics have ran tests on both of the subjects to determine which one is the healthier choice. Through intense research, a lot of people switch to margarine because of health conditions, personal preference, or simply just the price. Others say that butter is healthier due to the ingredients, source, and how it's prepared. According to the…

1.1) Autografts: Autografts, also known as autotransplantation is when tissue from the same patient in transplanted to another place but in the same patient. There is no rejection in autografts because the tissue is completely genetically identical 1.2) Allo-grafts: Allografts are when an organ or tissue is transplanted from one individual to another but they are from the same species. In allografts the chances of rejection exist because the tissue or organ is not completely…

The Fermi Paradox and Goldilocks zone are two great reasons for life on other plants, however, the Fermi Paradox could fall either way. It could fall for or against life on other planets because of this there are many scientists working through to find what's true. While people may choose their side and think that there is or isn’t life on other planets. There are thousands of conspiracy theories about alien life being real. If so, why haven’t they contacted us? Are they just not as…

In a similar fashion, Will Rodman contradicts nature by perfecting the drug ALZ-112 which fixes Alzheimer's by attacking the genes of host cells with a retrovirus. However, the study of Alzheimer's has more potential for good than reanimating life does (because curing Alzheimer's displays more realistic potential and a higher likelihood to help a large audience of people). But, Rodman still crosses the fine line that determines science does too much when he starts to treat his specimens like…

Summary: ״The CRISPR Conundrum״ “The CRISPR Conundrum” (2016) by Mary Bates, describes “CRISPR”- clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, which is a new revolutionary technology in genetic engineering. It is a kind of molecular scissors that can be programmed to snip specific bits of DNA. The article talks about the advantages of CRISPR, yet it describes CRISPR’s disadvantages as well. On the one hand, CRISPR is a cheap and precise technique to edit the DNA of animals,…

The goal of the current proposal is to recognise what neuroplasticity is, how it works and the result of change due to injury. Neuroplasticity; (derived from the root words neutron and plastic, the word neuron meaning the nerve cells in our brain and the word plastic meaning to mold, sculpt or modify) refers to the brains potential to reorganise itself, alter its structure and change its function by creating new neural pathways, to necessarily adapt to circumstances due to injury, growth or…

puzzled expression as 20 other 14-year olds in the room. The white polo clad Ms. Bhargava gave us her typical vague metaphor, “It is a slope on a mountain with many ridges. The organic cell is a ball that is rolling down the slope. The ridges change the path of the ball, which is like points in time in which a cell gets more specialized. The epigenetic landscape is just a way to explain differentiation and specialization.” The weird analogy took me a bit of time to register. The subject of…

In the article “ Smart Machines Are Not a Threat to Humanity”, Alan Bundy argued against people’s fear of Artificial Intelligence. Many predictions have been made about our future if machines or robots become more intelligent, and people are afraid that one day machines will owe humans as pets, kill them or take over their job opportunity. Bundy noted that machines can be smart but not in all aspects for instance, medical diagnosis machines can give a wrong treatment when they face a disease…

The third and final example of their use of the rhetoric device pathos is during the scene were the record producer of Girl Talk named Gregg Michael Gillis talks about his work in medicine. This scene in the film was a very well executed use of pathos in many ways. For one they show us that medicine could be much further than it is now but because of the patents that companies have on the most basic of ideas, they cannot use the information that was found to add to their own personal idea. This…
