- 13911: Genetic Cloning And Nuclear Fusion
- ... manipulating nature s creations ,and we should leave things the way they are because that is the way things are meant to be. Other s oppose that jurisdiction and state that we can rid the world of cancers and tumors and quite possibly save lives. Others don t believe strongly either way, though believe in restricted means of distinguishing forms of cloning using safe and well-tested means. Research on human ... risk? Others oppose this question with, is it worth the risk to not know it s full potential and how it can help us. These questions are few of the hundreds now argued throughout the world in courts and legislatures. The whole article I read was basically about the world verses cloning and nuclear genetic fusion. In other words building life out of other living things. When we play with items we don t understand we risk a lot and it can mean moral ...
- 13912: BBS Piracy And The Copyright
- ... fairly evident, but we need to ask ourselves whether The Copyright Act and its punishments are fair for modern society.

The answer is that the BBS does not buy the ... Elite Underground Alliance (NEUA), Software Exchange (SEX), Public Enemy (PE), etc. (most of the groups are deal in the U.S. only). But how do these organizations get their software? From various places around the world such as Europe, the pirate groups pay people who work in software companies to send them commercial or beta software. Then the pirate groups hire "crackers" (people who alter the program's code) to un ... far the least income source for corporations such as WordPerfect Corp. They make their money from individuals purchasing extra manuals, reference material, supplementary hardware, and calling product support. Software companies are conscious of the pirate world and the changes they have made. Some companies actually want you to take the software. With the SHAREWARE concept, one evaluates the software, and then pays if s/he feels it is a worthy ...

For example, in May of 1998, scientists successfully cloned a calf using a new cloning technology that could make it possible to create "designer" cattle. Also, in June of 1998, there was talk about having successfully cloned a mouse swept through the scientific community(Nash 3). These are just ... then we can grow human body parts. We will never know unless scientists are allowed to continue there research on cloning. "Some opponents of cloning say it is to risky. But what opponents of a new technology regard as too risky may be acceptable for others. After all, some people parachute out of airplanes, while others won't even ride jetliners. "Risk" is not an objective quality of an object ...

- GLOBAL WARMING In 1992 the United States and nations from around the world met at the United Nations Earth Summit in Rio and agreed to voluntarily reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2000. The Rio Treaty was not legally binding and, because reducing emissions would likely cause great economic damage, many nations will not meet the goal. Representatives from around the world met again in December of 1997 at a conference in Kyoto to sign a revised agreement. The Clinton Administration negotiators agreed to legally binding, internationally enforceable limits on the emission of greenhouse gases as a ... economy by severely restricting energy use. Finally, his position assumes that the agreement will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide and will prevent global warming.

It is important to recognize that with the recent warming and the other climatic changes that have been going on have not been related to one another. For example, warming ... more than 10,000 years ago. With the increased warming of the Earth it could lead to catastrophic events that could endanger living things on our planet. One event is major drought all around the world. With the warming of the planet, the water on the ground would quickly evaporate causing the rivers and lakes to quickly dry up. This would lead to crops dying from lack of rain, which would ... with more people inland, it would cause a shortage of space in some areas. With the coastal cities under water, this would cause a great economic strain on the rest of the cities throughout the world. Global Warming would also cause extreme weather. Thunderstorms would be more powerful than they have ever been. Tornadoes would be stronger than they normally would. With the warming of the surface it would also ...

- ... there start in the 1940's. In the beginning they were mainly used for keeping financial records by banks and insurance companies, and for mathematical computations by engineers and the U.S. Military. However, exciting new applications have developed rapidly in the last few years. Two of these areas is Computer Graphics and sound. Computer graphics is the ability of the computer to display, store and transmit visual information in the form of pictures. Currently there are two main uses for this new ability. One is in the creation of Movies and the other in Computer Games. Computer visual information is also increasingly being used in other computer applications, such as photographic storage, and the Internet. Computers can ... animator at NYIT, astounded the audience at the 1982 SIGGRAPH conference. Tom Brigham had created a video sequence showing a woman distort and transform herself into the shape of a lynx. Thus was born a new technique called "Morphing". It was destined to become a required tool for anyone producing computer graphics or special effects in the film or television industry. The morphing program that I am using to demonstrate ...
