Wilmut And Dr Unicellular Organisms
1,428 wordsThe biological definition of a clone is an organism that has the same genetic information as another organism or organisms ("Cloning", 1997). From this definition and from information about the science behind cloning, my current view on cloning is that it is ethical. This statement ignores information about how we can misuse cloning and what consequences occur when the procedure is unsuccessful. I currently do not think cloning should be used until it is perfected. I doubt however that we will a...

Years Older Six Years

Stability in mind and body may often be determined on the ability of an individual to trust someone and handle their dependency.

Socio Economic Status Socially Constructed
1,849 wordsAdvances in AI With advances in technology many researchers have become captivated with the pursuit of Artificial Intelligence. Numerous fields of study have tried to contribute their knowledge in order to create intelligence. However, years of research have thus far been unable to create human intelligence. The endeavour seems doomed to fail, for a century of thought which has tried to simply define intelligence has yet to succeed. This lack of a concrete tangible definition does not preclude i...

The ones that believe that believe that every person is born with a fixed amount of intelligence argue that there is little one can do to improve intelligence, so special education programs should not be expected to produce an increase in the childrens IQ. On the other side, those w...

These blocked impulses cause an unconscious state of apprehension for which the person does not know the cause of. Phobias, however, occur if the person sets the cause of the anxiet...

While human cloning is still a little ways off, animal cloning has already begun. Dolly the sheep was the first to be cloned and then it went on to pigs. Perhaps as we go down this line, we may someday work our way to cloning humans. Human cloning would only be a real benefit to our health and could only lead to a pr...

Diversity Every Day Teach Our Children Pooh

The animated programs, Rugrats and Winnie the Pooh, dealt with diversity in much the same way. Out of the Box, however, was put together on a different level. The Rugrats is a delightful cartoon about a group of adventurous babies that are always getting into one thing or the other. The babys personalities are all quite different and ones weakness is off...
