with a sperm with 23 chromosomes and creates a
fertilized cell, called a zygote, with 46

society, we have become more civilized. The death
penalty is only carried out in an erratic fashion.
It has not been shown to be a deterrent to murder.
As our society evolves in science, health and
social awareness, it is only right that we should
reject the death penalty as the cruel, barbaric,
and outmoded vehicle it has become. We, as a
society, are becoming more civilized. But we are
currently the only nation in the western
democratic world that has...

efficient way to run the economy once the most

of human rights, as well as a choice of benefits
related to these rights. Problems arise when a
