Pope John Paul Ii Genetic Engineering
1,754 words
The Benefits and Risks of Genetic Engineering The
arrival of genetic engineering presents Catholics
with an interesting moral dilemma. Although it
clearly brings with it immense benefits for the
entire human race, certain aspects of it don't
bide by Catholic moral teachings. If a doctor uses

like these, the Catholic Church holds certain
reservations when it comes to this new field in
science. The...

dismembering and killing of ahmad life -- an
unborn baby. "But it is scientific and medical

Adoption should be made easier than Abortion
Humans have a tendency to take many substantial
factors in life for granted. Opposing views of
pro-life and pro-choice options affect many
individuals on a daily bases. Some choose the
convenience of abortion while others wish that
adoption could be easier to accomplish. I believe
that society should stand by the commandment that
thou shall not kill, because conception is the

nature is divine and the second concept is that

not real because such a person associates himself

Pity And Terror William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare wrote four great tragedies,
the last of which was written in 1606 and titled
Macbeth. This "tragedy", as it is considered by
societal critics of yesterday's literary world,
scrutinizes the evil dimension of conflict,
offering a dark and gloomy atmosphere of a world
dominated by the powers of darkness. Macbeth, more
so than any of Shakespeare's other tragic
protagonists, has to face the powers and decide:
should he succumb or should he resist? Macbeth
