become a live organ donor and donating a kidney to my husband Keisy.

government study has shown that only 60% of the charitable donations of food, clothing, and money are used; the rest is lost, squandered, or in limbo. This same study estimates that the remaining 40% would provide enough resources to feed, clothe, and house every underprivileged and starving child in the country (U.S. Dept. of Welfare 44).

These include embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are “derived from the developing

Stoker focuses on Lucy’s physical appearance after her transformation, sexualizing her features as a vampire with her “voluptuous smile” which was associated in the Victorian era with threatening temptation and damnation. If looking deeply into a person’s eyes reveals their soul, then when Lucy’s eyes are full of “Hell-fire” and “unholy light,” the devil controls her soul.
