War On Drugs Success And Failure
1,265 words
Maybe some of us have a good idea that the illegal
drug business is still huge but covered somewhere
among the "black" economy markets. After all the
numbers one could hear tossed around, I am afraid
that the sad truth could be, that no one really
knows just how huge this business might be, how
many people die, how much blood money has been
made and than laundered into legal businesses. It
is terrible to imagine how many subways and
basements come to be "the places for being in the
clouds." Acco...

Ph Of 5 Sulphur Dioxide
1,087 words
Acidity is measured using a pH scale, with the
number 7 being neutral. A substance with a pH
value of less than 7 is acidic, while one of a
value greater than 7 is basic. A substance with a
pH of 6 is 10 times more acidic than another with
a pH of 7. Usually the pH of 5. 6 has been used as
the baseline in identifying acid rain, although
there has been much debate over the acceptance of
this value. Interestingly enough, a pH of 5. 6 is
the pH value of carbon dioxide in equilibrium with
distilled ...

disorder that affects red blood cells. It causes

Human Cloning Scientists People

What first comes to mind when the word cloning is
used? Weird sci-fi movies, mad scientists, and
futuristic themes? Well, the idea of cloning has
been experimented on since the 1970? s with frogs
and toads, and the cloning of plants hasn? t been
any big thing. The controversy over this issue was
sparked by a miraculous event on July 5, 1996.
This is the day? Dolly? was successfully cloned,
using a method of somatic cell transfer, from an
adult sheep. She was born on September 23, 1997,

Identical Twins Human Cloning

Cloning A Step in The Right Direction It all began
with the experimentation of Dolly the first
genetically cloned animal. Since this scientific
breakthrough, President Clinton, realizing the
effects this would have on the human race as a
whole, banned the cloning of humans for five
years. However, some scientists have declared this
ban as a futile approach towards cloning and that
perhaps the ban levied by the former president is
postponing valuable scientific research. But
first, to begin with,...

Although the only genes for proteins that are

Pros And Cons Nerve Tissue

Cloning has many more advantages than
disadvantages. The definition of cloning is to
duplicate an organism. Through cloning, you could
help thousands of people and animals. Cloning can
totally reduce organ donor lists. Cloning can also
bring back endangered species. Advanced cloning is
going to happen, just as long as somebody can fund
it, says Dr. Esterverks, a biology teacher at
Nantucket High School. This quote almost makes
cloning undebatable because cloning appears to be
inevitable. Debatin...

responsible for thought, feelings, creativity, and
other qualities that make us humans. So the brain
has to be more complex and more complete than any

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Ban Human Cloning
1,939 words
According to Webster s New World Dictionary
(1990), a clone is all descendants derived
asexually from a single organism. In layman terms
a clone is an exact duplicate of another organism,
therefore a human clone would be a perfect copy of
another human being. According to the American
Medical Association, the scientific name for
cloning is somatic cell nuclear transfer, which
means the nucleus of an existing organism is
transferred into an oocyte from which the nucleus
has been removed (AMA 1998...

Sexual Identity Social Status

scientific term that explains physical traits and
sexual preferences. Gender carries a more social

Chaos Theory Sickle Cell

The Fun Filled Fractal Phenomenon A fractal is a
type of geometric figure. It is generated by
starting with a very simple pattern such as a
triangle and, through the application of many
repeated rules, adding to the figure to make it
more complicated. Often, an input will be entered
into a recursive function and it will yield an
output. This output is then inserted back into the
function as an input and the process is repeated
infinitely. Fractals often exhibit
self-similarity. This means that e...
