- 20022: And The Band Played On
- ... the virus was deadly. Instead of ignoring the matter, they could have taken early precautions instead of waiting until the disease was virtually impossible to stop.

But then Mr. Crierson died and all she ... that she bought rat poison , and two days later a neighbor saw Homer get let in by Tobe her servent. That was the last they saw of Homer.

- ... could interpret that the Europeans were given the land, or that the Europeans established forts, trading posts, and colonies to live as one with the Indeginous peoples; however, that was not the case. Consequently, Carr s statement holds true. The authors of the exhibit choose how to present this portion of history. They decide in what context to display the facts. Obviously the authors feel that a blurb on the wall ... plaque I am taught nothing of the hardships that the Natives endured. I do not learn that thousands of Indigenous lives were taken at the hands of the Spaniards simply to acquire land that wasn t theirs. I do not learn that families and tribes were broken up in order to teach the Europeans how to survive. To my dismay no artifacts, pictures or any other type of visual display told ... Pueblo Indian family. All of these wonderful artifacts are presented in order to show how the American Indians of today continue to prosper despite their distressing history.

I don t completely understand why the modern lifestyle of an American Indian is uplifted, yet acknowledgement of their burdened past ...

- 20028: Genetic Engenering -4
- ... the many things science has brought fourth and we need to take advantage of them. After studying both sides of the issue, I believe human cloning is a good thing to peruse for our children's sake. One of the most popular arguments in support of cloning is that we can make people disease free and it could decrease the risk of birth defects. In other words, we can make a ... Even with these concerns it may be possible to just clone the body parts needed. Scientists are in the process of finding these things out but they need more time, more time that people won't give them. Just last year a mouse had a human ear growing on his back(Nash 1).
