(Solomon) Biological warfare intentionally uses viruses, bacteria, fungi, or toxins from living organisms and death or disease in humans, animals, or plants. Fermentation can be used to produce such bacterial agents as a...

Somatic Cell Therapy Germ Line Therapy
1,485 wordsScience is a creature that continues to evolve at a much higher rate than the beings that gave it birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from analytical engine, to calculator, to computer. But science, in the past, has always remained distant. It has allowed for advances in production, transportation, and even entertainment, but never in history will science be able to so deeply affect our lives as genetic engineering will undoubtedly do.

Genetics not only involves the transmission of traits from generation to generation, but it also involves every biological occurrence in an organism. The history of genetics, beginning with the ideas of Aristotle up till the rediscovery of Mendel's work, has gone through many changes both in theory and discovery. The history...

1,465 wordsReturn to Oneness On the Theme of Doppelganger in Poe s tales Doppelganger is a wraith or apparition of a living person, as distinguished from a ghost. The concept of the existence of a spirit double, an exact but usually invisible replica of every man, bird, or beast, is an ancient and widespread belief.
