In his book 1984, George Orwell writes of a dystopian future where an authoritarian ruler known as ‘Big Brother’ controls the masses. This book depicts a time where social control has been institutionalized to the point where millions of people allow themselves to be controlled by a single regime. It can be argued that many events leading up to the time George Orwell wrote this book, including many events during the 19th century, are what caused him to predict such a grim future for the human race

Where could similarities possibly exist between a book set in the timeline of the 1950’s during a fictional atomic war and a movie set in the future where humans can be genetically modified? The answer is all throughout both the novel and the film. The book Lord of the Flies by William Golding and the movie Gattaca by Andrew Niccol possess many similar themes, one of which includes Social Darwinism and its survival of the fittest mentality. At a first look at the book and the movie the two may seem

Gene editing is a process where DNA is altered so the organism or something given from the organism has a more desirable trait than the original DNA had to offer. This process has been used to complete many tasks, and many more completable tasks could be found in the near future. But the idea of gene editing has created an argument about its use. Many believe that gene editing is useful and doesn’t have any issues while others believe gene editing could be harmful to the human population and that

Arthur C. Clarke once said, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Indeed, this has proven to be true. Technology has broken down barriers and has led to an easier life, and thus has spread so widely and quickly. Technology has seen incredible growth since ancient times; from the pyramids to the printing press to robots. The discovery of DNA and the creation of the polio vaccine are both incredible discoveries of the 1950’s that continue to impact the world today

“How would you make a successful Egg Delivery Module?” When I was asked this question in science, I believed an Egg Drop Module would be easy to create. I was very wrong, though. The Egg Drop Module that my group constructed was not successful in keeping the egg safe. This is because of not anticipating the length of the drop and how hard the Egg Drop Module would hit the ground. If we had made changes, our module would have worked much better. Compared to my expectations, my group’s Egg Delivery

Genetic Testing After watching the video and reading the text about the positive and negative effects of knowing one’s genome and all the potential risks you could be predisposition to have. I believe that if there was a strict confidentiality agreement I believe that I would allow them to include my child’s genome in the study. I would prefer not to know the results of my child’s genome or any risks they may have because I would like to raise my child without worry and stress that they possibly

So I wrote this rap its for all you human beings It’s about Mrs. Mumm’s teachings And DNA DNA’s the code It has all the information For the mRNA to make A new protein population It needs to make some new protein there's no doubt But DNA’s stuck in da nucleus How's it gonna get out? have ta study biology Cause Cowboys don’t get no Ds After the exam we won't be free cuz then we only have a C have ta study biology Cause cowboys don’t get no Ds After the exam we won't be free cuz then we only have a

Some materials that appear homogenous are actually a mixture of different substances, one example being ink. To see what colors make up black ink, one can allow the substance to move across a fixed, absorbent material such as paper. This technique, called chromatography, is a forensic method of separating a mixture of chemicals into their individual components. Although the separation of colors is the most elementary application of chromatography, the process of a liquid or gas mixture moving over

The definition of honor is the regard with great respect. My definition of honor is to recognize those who have helped people somehow in any way, shape, or form. James was involved in the co-discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA along with Francis Crick. James Watson received a Nobel Prize for it in 1962 and went on to do work in cancer research and mapping the human genome. James found out the location of the DNA on a strand, and is the first person to even identify what it looks like to the

Will you go for the brown hair or blond? Would you prefer tall or short? Girl or boys? Its sound scary for me. A designer baby is a human embryo that has been genetically modified, usually following guidelines set by the parent or scientist, to produce desirable traits. This is done using various methods, such as gene therapy or preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). This technology is the subject of ethical debate, bringing up the concept of genetically modified "super humans" to replace modern
