The Ethics Of Somatic Cell Cloning
.... valuable basic research and spin off technologies related to reproduction and development.
3. Cloning technologies could enable the development of donor organs that will not be rejected by the transplant patient.
The benefits of these technologies are obvious. Many people will benefit from the implementation of this technology. It is morally wrong to deny needy patients this life saving technology.
The Medical Risks:
Somatic cell cloning does have some problems that must be dealt with before cloning procedures can be permitted. One of the issues is safety. At the present time, the use of somatic cell cloning to crea .....

A Career As A Paramedic
.... even I know of.
The career of a Emergency Medical Technician involves saving lives. The E.M.S. is only as strong as its weakest link (Caroline,3). During the 1960’s people and associations began wondering if there was any possible way to operate a ambulance and administer pre-hospital care efficiently with some other type of personnel besides a licenced doctor (Caroline,1). By 1970 the question had been answered. Pioneering in Miami, Philadelphia< and Seattle demonstrated that paramedics under radio command from an on-duty hospital physician could effectively do the job of administering pre hospital life support. The United S .....

Ebola Virus In Depth Report
.... was short of barrier nursing supplies and disinfectants.
The current outbreak resembles earlier African out breaks, in which the first cases were found in hospitals where infection control mechanisms were not in place because of economic controls. Ebola virus was spread to health workers in contact with body fluids, and also from patient to patient by the reuse of unsterilized needles. Secondary transmission occurred also among family members who applied care, among those who prepared corpses for burial, and in other towns where travelers from the epicenter subsequently became ill and infected new carers. Airborne spread is no .....

How I Deal With A Loved One Who Has Aids
.... trusfusion or by their own bad judgment and the agony caused to all family members and friends. How do I cope with the pain? First, I must deal with the pain by getting everything out in the open. I can not make plans for the future anymore. I have to plan everything on a day by day basis. Now. I’m going to try to be there for my loved one through his pain and his happiness.

Dreams
.... show a greater amount of rapid eye movement, which is associated with greater amounts of activity in the dream. However, when these people did remember the content of their dreams, it was rather bland and inactive.
With all of dream research, there still is no definite answer to the question: “What is a dream?” Dreams are phenominans which occur in cycles, are controversial, and symbolic.
“Dreams are rudiments of the
great state to come. We dream
what is about to happen.”
-Bailey.
Within sleep, there are two distinct states or cycles, called non-rapid eye mov .....

Insanity
.... which created major controversy in the wrestling industry. People had a very hard time telling whether he was being serious or not. Andy’s humor was like no other, and people had a hard time accepting it. Early in his career, Andy appeared to be fairly normal, but several of his acts had many believing otherwise. For instance, Andy would set the alarm on his clock to wake him every hour, just so could smoke two packs of cigarettes. Even to this day, some of close friends don’t know if he was insane or not. His performance itself wasn’t insane, but the acts he would do when he wasn’t in front of the camera or on stage were, such as .....

Alzheimer's Disease
.... helixes" include Parkinson's disease, Down's Syndrome, and Dementia Pugilistica. Scientists are not sure how the paired helixes are related in these very different diseases. Neuritic Plaques are patches of clumped material lying outside the bodies of nerve cells in the brain. They are mainly found in the cerebral cortex, but have also been seen in other areas of the brain. At the core of each of these plaques is a substance called amyloid, an abnormal protein not usually found in the brain. This amyloid core is surrounded by cast off fragments of dead or dying nerve cells. The cell fragments include dying mitochondria, presyna .....

Sickle Cell Anemia
.... cell anemia is most common in people whose ancestors came from parts of Saudi Arabia, India, Africa, and the Mediterranean region. Persons of South American, Central American, or Cuban origin may be affected also.

Mobile Phone Risks
.... with increasing distance from the antenna. Cordless telephones, which need to be operated within about 20 metres of a base unit that is connected directly to the telephone system, do not have any health concerns associated with their use because exposure levels are very low. .
Media reports have claimed that up to 70 percent of the microwave emissions from hand-held mobile telephones may be absorbed in the user's head. This is not supported by the evidence, but nevertheless leads to speculation that hot spots may be created in the user's brain, thereby raising concerns that the telephones may be a health risk. Other report .....

The Negative Portrayal Of LSD
.... effects of the Vietnam War and the strong influence of television, began to leak from the cracks of the nation a new counterculture of rebellious teenagers, unfamiliar narcotics, and a wave of promiscuity. Among the many issues and events molding our nation into a new decade, came the question of government and mind control. For some it was the next step into human evolution, a potential tool for mind control, a liberator of human kind, but for most LSD helped define 1960s counterculture, in which it was deeply rooted.
LSD has proved that the mind contains much higher powers and energies, beyond the average10% of the brain tha .....
