Checks And Balances Laissez Faire
1,317 wordsSmith vs. Thoreau Smith: We hear much these days about the sins of the marketplace. We hear much about the sins of market-makers: their greed, their lack of integrity, their misconduct.

But these regrettable sins of the free marketplace do not represent the whole story, nor do they even represent a significant portion of the story.

Vitro Fertilization Fertilized Egg
871 wordsTo clone or not to clone, that is the question. If Shakespeare were alive today, he might well have used this phrase instead of the one he chose for his play Hamlet.

Bone Marrow Dna Cloning
985 wordsThe theory of adult DNA cloning is astoundingly simple: one takes the nucleus of a cell from an adult, which contains the adult s genes (DNA), and transfers it into an egg in place of that egg s own nucleus.
