The Ethics Of Somatic Cell Cloning
.... cell cloning has many potential benefits:
1. Somatic cell cloning provides a way for completely sterile individuals, (those not capable of reproducing) to reproduce.
2. Somatic cell cloning may provide valuable basic research and spin off technologies related to reproduction and development.
3. Cloning technologies could enable the development of donor organs that will not be rejected by the transplant patient.
The benefits of these technologies are obvious. Many people will benefit from the implem .....

Dreams

Researchers discovered that people who tend to forget their dreams show a greater amount of rapid eye movement, which is associated with greater amounts of activity in the dream. However, when these people did remember the content of their dreams, it was rather bland and inactive.

Alzheimer's Disease
.... also found in the brains of Alzheimer's victims. They are found within the cell bodies of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, and take on the structure of a paired helix. Other diseases that have "paired helixes" include Parkinson's disease, Down's Syndrome, and Dementia Pugilistica. Scientists are not sure how the paired helixes are related in these very different diseases. Neuritic Plaques are patches of clumped material lying outside the bodies of nerve cells in the brain. They are mainly found in the .....

Sickle Cell Anemia
.... blood cells last only 10 to 20 days in the bloodstream, compared to a normal red cell’s life span of 120 days, the “sickled” cells result in chronic anemia (abnormally low levels of red blood cells).

Those telephones that have the antenna mounted elsewhere are of no concern, since exposure levels decrease rapidly with increasing distance from the antenna. Cordless telephones, which need to be operated within about 20 metres of a base unit that is connected directly to the telephone system, do not have any health concerns associated with their use because exposure levels are very low. .

Antibiotics And Their Role In Society
.... Antibiotics can be bacteriostatic (bacteria stopped from multiplying) or bactericidal (bacteria killed). To perform either of these functions, antibiotics must be brought into contact with the bacteria.
It is believed that antibiotics interfere with the surface of bacteria cells, causing a change in their ability to reproduce. Testing the action of an antibiotic in the laboratory shows how much exposure to the drug is necessary to halt reproduction or to kill the bacteria. Although a large amount .....
