But instead of making love, Dorothy asks Jeffrey "to ... Lynch uses to complicate the films "happy" ending, which is so fabricated in its composition that it causes disstanciation from the audience rather than a feeling of closure, it is also Jeffrey's resistance to abuse and denigration late in the film that removes his liminality and places him firmly as a benevolent character. At this point I would like to compare the different ways that Kubrick and Lynch address the issue of domestic violence and men's abuse of women. Perhaps one of the most notorious rape scenes in film history is found in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. The scene is set in a man's house ironically called "home," and ...

The parents of a child, with cystic fibrosis, each carry one nonworking copy of the gene and one working copy of the gene.

Carrier parents have 1:4 chance to have a child who is a noncarrier of cystic fibrosis, a 1:2 chance to have a child who carries the gene, and a 1:4 chance with each pregnancy to have an affected child.
