When germs, such as bacteria or viruses, invade the body, they attack cells and multiply. To protect the body from further infection

case study method. After presenting each approach, I’ll discuss its relative advantages and disadvantages. U nderstanding how we make and follow through on ethical decisions is the first step to making better choices; taking a systematic approach is the second.
