Cloning By: Joshua Weidner Cloning: is it the future of medicine and the curing of diseases or is it the beginning of an unholy tragedy? Cloning needs to be looked into for the fact it could help save many people 's lives. Before I decided to study the subject I had no idea how much cloning could help us as the human race. Cloning is a very promising field of study and could hold the key to the future of what it means to be human. Almost everyone has come to believe that the first animal to be

The Civil War era was a period of major medical advancement. New breakthroughs during this time period had a great effect on the results of the battles and the war as a whole. Advancements in medical procedures, sanitation, infection control, field hospitals and triage, nursing techniques, and the development of the American Red Cross all greatly impacted the mortality rates of soldiers in both the Union and the Confederate armies during the American Civil War in both positive and negative ways.

tissue) which spread from his mouth to his eye and ultimately lead to the removal of his cheekbone. At the young of twenty, he felt as if he had his whole life ahead of him and was willing to try any creative ideas the doctors could come up with. Dr. Gurdon Buck performed a series of pioneering surgeries that used dental and facial fixtures to complete the bone until Burgan’s face structure was complete. Today, Dr. Buck is coined as the father of plastic surgery as he and other union soldiers completed

effects of wartime, especially the Holocaust, are evident elsewhere. In dealing with the subject of the Holocaust, it is unusual and appropriate that Zusak uses death as a narrator in The Book Thief to deal with the complexities of the Holocaust (Gurdon). Death is able to narrate both the endings of Jewish lives and the hopelessness and isolation that pure-hearted Germans feel over

The contents of this portfolio show the transitions in the revision process as I demonstrate growth. There are four papers I wrote this semester, the original and the revised one that I improved according to the instruction and feedback I received over the course of the semester. From unit one to unit four, there is a significant improve in my writing. With the feedback of each paper, I realized which areas I needed to improve and do better on the next paper. The help from writing lab also made me

Introduction According to our text, Huston Smith believed that all religions were essentially the same, whereas Stephen Prothero believes that they are all fundamentally different. These two differing opinions can be looked at further by comparing two of the world religions: Christianity and Buddhism. I believe that all religions are a mixture of both; religions are essentially the same and are also fundamentally different. Christianity and Buddhism both have similar aspects within them, and they

CHAPTER EIGHT Susan and Matt, sitting at her desk intensely discuss the reason for her call, as they go over numerous blueprints maps and satellite photos they analyze the information trying to decipher the madness. Extremely interested in what he sees Matt, however, remains skeptical, eager for a little more evidence to solidify her hypothesis. “So you think the quake caused a minor separation by the meteor penetrating the earth’s weakest position, creating an unlikely opening in the earth.”

nuclei from more advanced embryos. At the end of the experiment, the few tadpoles that survived had deformities during their growing period. “This experiment showed that nuclear transfer was a viable cloning technique”. (The History) In 1958, John Gurdon created tadpoles that were genetically identical to the one which the cell was taken from. Not counting all the times the experiment failed, somatic cells in a developed animal can be used for cloning. The cloned tadpoles did not survive to adulthood

ABSTRACT To clone is to create an identical copy of something, in the case of artificial reproduction, being cloned is fragments of DNA or genetic information. The developments of cloning over time has opened up many doors for scientists. This has lead to animals such as sheep and primates become fully developed, or have come close to fully developing into clones. Primates are essentially humans closest genetic relative and so the cloning of the monkey reinforced the possibility of the cloning of

Some have said that Abraham Lincoln's beliefs are a mystery. He himself has never proclaimed his beliefs but a lot can be determined by his actions and words. Through observation, there have been quite a lot of conclusions to his faith. Some conclusions are: skepticism, deism, Christianity, theism, fatalism, and even atheism. It's an on-going debate for the conclusion to his faith although we won't be able to ever prove exactly what his beliefs were since he never made a profession, there are many
