- 2331: Side Effects of Carl Djerassi and Syntex's Oral Contraceptive
- ... the world, and for a small fledgling company in Mexico of all places to find it first only added to the excitement of the achievement. Yet aside from all this excitement and competitive fervor something great and disturbing was being bypassed. Science, in my view had done something great without looking into the possibilities of where this would lead. I believe Djerassi, similar to most scientists of his day, was so entranced by the excitement of synthesizing his product and achieving his goal that he did not stop to think of the ramifications of his accomplishment. The ethical dilemma was not explored before hand, and this to me is the great tragedy of most scientific discovery, since I firmly believe each scientist is responsible for that which he creates. Djerassi does confront a few questions of ethics and morality after the fact. On page 61, ...

However, as Peter Singer states, "If we ... conception, but rather one which allows the male population to share the role of conception. So, if IVF is viewed in such a way, then it is hardly the case that this medical advancement causes great harm to a woman's value as a child-bearer, and thus, in vitro fertilization cannot be regarded as unacceptable in terms of threatening a woman's moral status. Another concern involving the use of ... use of IVF as a means of conception reinforces such assumptions upon a woman, her choices are limited because IVF infers that "Since you are a woman, you must overcome the obstacles, no matter how great they are, in order to produce children." However, is it false to assume that we, as a society, are reinforced day in and day out that our culture is one of sexist, classist, and ...
- 2333: Sins In The Scarlet Letter
- ... thee, I felt no love, nor feigned any. Hester was betrayed, tricked and allowed herself to become caught up in the evil desires of another. She then allowed herself to be trapped by sin, causing great remorse in her life; making her sin the lesser of the three committed in The Scarlet Letter. (Pg.53) Reverend Dimmesdale was a renowned, prideful man stricken with sin and extreme guilt. From the time Hester and Dimmesdale made love, he was grievous of his sin but he also felt a great love towards her. Dimmesdale's stubborn pride troubled him greatly, and although he tried many times, he could not confess his sin to his religious followers. Dimmesdale felt guilt so strongly that he scourged himself on his breast and patterned an A into his own flesh, yet he could not confess his sin until his grief grew so great it caused him to perish. Reverend Dimmesdale's sin was greater than Hester's because he let his pride conflict with his repentance, and let his life be ruined by his anguish. Physically deformed ...
