wild. It is commonly referred to as hemp. Hemp is

Many humans use animals for testing each year.
Animal testing is when the animals are put through
something or injected to see how they react to
what medical research they have been used for.
There are three very important reasons why animals
should not be used for testing harmful or
dangerous materials. One of these is that testing
and its use is trivial in the cosmetic industry.
The second reason is that animals have rights and
animals can feel pleasure and pain just as humans
do. The third re...

Huntington's disease is an inherited
neurodegenerative disorder. It is passed from
parent to child in an autosomal dominant manner
(Berkon, pg. 1493), meaning you need only one copy
of the gene to inherit the disease. This is in
contrast to an autosomal recessive disorder which
requires two altered genes to inherit the disorder
or an altered gene from each parent (Hayden, pg.
11). If you have the gene and live long enough,
you will eventually develop HD and each of your
children has a 50 % chanc...
