There are several different types of curvatures of the human spine, one of the most common forms being Scoliosis. Each singular spine curvature indicates a specific form in which the spine lays out within the human body. In terms of Scoliosis, it is defined as an ailment that causes an irregular arch of the vertebral column. Now observing the spinal cord from a lateral view, it will always appear with distinct curves. However, when inspecting the spine from the posterior positioning of the human

"Only 24 percent of Canadian children had the appropriate number of doses of vaccines for measles, polio and DPT3 for children between the age of 12 and 23 months.

In the 1990’s we saw the introduction of RU-486, the abortion pill. Currently, we are seeing a reverse trend in America; the political
