killed and maimed to make lobsters available at cheap process to consumers in the United States. The men, known as buzos, must dive up to 130 feet for lobster, and face dangerous decompression sickness which begins with paralysis and ends in a slow death. This is due to the fact that there are no medical or decompression facilities on the boats, and there is also no equipment to aid

Introduction 400 According to the Oxford dictionary, outer space is defined to be “the physical universe beyond the atmosphere of earth” (Oxford, 2017). Space travel specifically long-term assignments can be difficult due to the extreme environment consisting of a hard vacuum, high levels of radiation and microgravity being hazardous to the health and wellbeing of the crew. The controversary regarding space travel is regarding the adverse effects on the individuals’ health. As humans are not able

“Technology is a queer thing. It brings gifts in one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other,” as quoted by American stand-up comedian Carrie Snow. As aforementioned by Snow, technology is an anomaly itself since it is composed of a staggering amounts of attributes, ranging from moral to physical attributes specifically, that have yet to be established or even discovered. These aspects seem to be established for when it comes to developing any form of technological progress. Even as simple

was the first regular concentration camp established by the National Socialist (Nazi) government. In Dachau, as in other Nazi camps, German physicians performed medical experiments on prisoners, including high-altitude experiments using a decompression chamber, tuberculosis experiments, hypothermia experiments, and experiments testing new medications. The number of prisoners who died in the camp and the subcamps between January 1940 and May 1945 was roughly 28,000

is a non-thermal technique that’s been used since the late 1800s to process foods (Hite, 1899). Its use in large scale processing only began in the last 20 years, due to innovation of new technologies that allowed the construction of high pressure chambers that could withstand the high pressures that the process requires at a reasonable price (Muntean et al., 2016). To work, HHP requires the adjustment of three parameters: temperature, pressure, and exposure time. It works under two principles: 1.

Experimentally Cruel Animal experimentation has long standing roots in human history, specifically in the cosmetic industry and medical professions. Many could argue that humanity could not have progressed to today’s advancements without a heavy reliance on animal experimentation. There are some notable cases throughout history where such testing was undeniably beneficial, although it could certainly be argued that such methods were not always necessary. With significant advancements in scientific

Approximately 6 to 8 million animals are handled by animal shelters in the U.S. each year. Even though some are reclaimed or adopted, nearly 4 million unwanted dogs and cats are left with nowhere to go. Animal shelters cannot humanely house and support all these animals until their natural deaths. They would be forced to live in cramped cages or kennels for years, lonely and stressed, and other animals would have to be turned away because there would be no room for them. Trying to build enough animal

Tens of thousands of people have been tortured, killed, or experimented on for unfair and unjust reasons. Some of the people didn’t sign up for what they thought it was and were manipulated into the situations. Others were forced upon the inhuman cruelties that no person should ever have to endeavor. Without the Nuremberg Code, tons of unethical experiments were being conducted. The Nuremberg Code is a very important document in regulating all scientific research for the better of humans now, and

crematorium area was located beside the main camp. The old crematorium and the new crematorium was included. There was also a gas chamber, however there isn’t any credible evidence that the gas chamber in Barrack X was used to murder human beings. The gas chambers were actually for something called “selection”. Selection was when all of the Jews at the camp would go to the gas chambers to be evaluated. If a Jew was marked down as not strong enough to do work or too sick then they were sent to the Hartheim

Underwater welding has always fascinated me, especially when I heard about it during my time as a welding student at Arizona Automotive Institute (AAI). The history behind it has always grasped my attention for some time now. I always wanted to know more about underwater welding such as the history, how it works, what it is used for, and the dangers that are associated with the job. Konstantin Khrenov was a Soviet Engineer, who would later make history by inventing underwater welding. Khrenov was
