In a book about opposing viewpoints about abortion, Carolyn C. Gargaro states that, “Now, I cannot think of any doctor that would kill a newborn baby the moment that it was born. My question is, now, can that baby be killed a minute before it is born, or a minute before that, or a minute before that? You see what I’m getting at. At what minute can one consider life to be worthless and at the next minute that life to be precious?” (Williams 38). Clearly, there is not a single minute that one can…

Abortion is a huge topic of debate in the United States and in the world. In the United States the majority of the members of the democratic party are pro choice, meaning they are for abortion, while the majority of the members of the republican party are pro life, meaning they are against abortions. In the United States, abortions are legal, but everyday there are people working to stop them. Abortions are still illegal in many developing countries and women die from unsafe abortions every day.…

Since 1988 the plant Crupina vulgaris or the Common Crupina has been listed as a class A weed, it has invaded many parts of the Western United States, its has become a growing concern for many as it can grow quickly and is difficult to get rid of. C. vulgaris is native to Mediterranean Europe. It is a flowering plant, or angiosperm from the family Asteraceae, that can grow up to three feet tall. The stems of the plant are leafy and rigid with small spines and rounded 1/2 inch leaves near the…

If both parents have alcoholism, will their children have alcoholism, too (nature vs nurture)? If both parents have alcoholism, it does not necessarily mean that their children will have alcoholism. Inherited biochemistry affects alcohol metabolism. There is no specific gene for alcoholism. However, the alleles that make alcoholism have been identified on every chromosome except the Y. Each individual is different, they're reaction to alcohol may be different from others. Both parents metabolism…

whose life hangs in the balance or if an essential organ stops working - say, a liver. Stem cells are the same way. The cells come from embryos that are extras from IRV (Where a scientist takes a sperm and an egg and creates a zygote for an infertile couple, then places the zygote in a surrogate mother). Stem cells are better than organ donors, however, because the generated organ is based off of cells in the body of the patient. This means that the body is less likely to attack the organ due…

amendment by allowing the mother to deprive its young of a prosperous life. Scholars quarrel that abortion should be kept legal since a zygote and embryo are quite similar to regular somatic body cells (skin cells) because of the fact that it is living and possess full genetic code, however they are not considered to be real human organisms which makes both a zygote and embryo not an actual human being as well (Source 2). On the contrary, research conducted on embryology authenticate that skin…

The skin is organized in two parts: the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the thin outer covering of the skin. It serves as a permanent protective barrier that helps to keep out everything from water to microorganisms. Additionally, it has the task to renew itself if cut or damaged in anyway. Furthermore, the epidermis also help to produce a water resistant protein called keratin, which helps the growth of hair and fingernails. The dermis is the inner layer of the skin that is mostly…

It is murder because an unborn child is alive. The first scientific proof that an unborn child is alive is that “a zygote contains human DNA” (Schwarzwalder, Rob). In addition, in Jeremiah 1:5 it says “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you: I appointed you a prophet to the nations” (ESV Bible). If an unborn child is alive…

There is now evidence that incidence of zygote splitting is increased following ART. In contrast dizygotic twin is influenced by race, heredity, maternal age, parity and fertility treatment. Vanishing twin Sonographies done at first trimester have shown that one twin is lost or vanishes before…

possible and can be fixed today. Cas9, or Crisper, is responsible for basic gene therapy. Cas9 removes disorders from fetuses when they are in the zygote stage of development. Gene therapy; however, has resistance from the scientific and religious…
