FGM: Female Genital Mutilation
Number of Words: 525 / Number of Pages: 2
... right to
decide for themselves, without the intervention of outsiders, to decide to do
whatever they want to do to their bodies and minds.
I know, "these women that are being circumcised, aren't freely deciding
on this to be done to them, they don't know any better, they've been
brainwashed". I have two responses to this. The first is, if they have grown
up in this culture all their lives, and this procedure has been done to their
mothers, sisters, great grandmothers, etc. on the fear that if it is not done,
something tearable will happen, there is no way they would not want it done; no

The Spread Of AIDS
Number of Words: 3360 / Number of Pages: 13
... Having been lulled into false security by modern antibiotics and vaccines about our ability to conquer infections, the Western world was ill prepared to cope with the advent of AIDS in 1981. (Retro- spective studies now put the first reported U.S. case of AIDS as far back as 1968.) The arrival of a new and lethal virus caught us off guard. Research suggests that the agent responsible for AIDS probably dates from the 1950s, with a chance infection of humans by a modified Simian virus found in African green monkeys. Whatever its origins, scientists surmise that the disease spread from Africa to the Car ...

... clotting,
causing this hereditary bleeding disorder. In red/green color blindness, the
broadest form of color blindness that affects six percent of the population, the
cones in the retina that receive green light do not function properly. Unlike
sex linked diseases, sex influenced diseases are not reserved solely for the
male. However, the diseases occur in males much more frequently than in females.
This is because sex influenced diseases occur from imbalances in testosterone,
much more highly concentrated in males. Baldness and gout are two diseases that
are a result of these hormonal imbalances. ...

Abortion

... a million pieces because of one mistake.
If only there was a way to go back in time and change the past so that our present will be normal. As normal as a 15 year old girl should be. With problems relating to boys and meeting assignment deadlines, rather than the hard stuff. The kind of stuff a baby would otherwise provide to her with open arms.
Unfortunately there isn’t, so we were left with the option of ending the baby’s life. This course of action was in the best interest for everybody involved. The baby would’ve been better off, as a 15 year old girl is too young to properly take care of a ...

the Loop of Henley and collecting duct are used to establish these osmolar
gradients. The tubule has a brush border that will absorb proteins and
polypeptides through pinocytosis. These molecules are sometimes catabolised and

another mechanism used to excrete solutes. Secretion may be either passive or

Euthanasia: People Should Have The Right To Choose
Number of Words: 874 / Number of Pages: 4
... is whether to do
this by way of active euthanasia or passive euthanasia. Many are against
active euthanasia because in this case you actually kill the person rather
than letting them die. But both methods are used for the same end which is
to end someone's life without further pain for the patient as well as for
the family. The only choice to make after this fact is established is
which of these means better carries out the end. James Rachels, a
philosophy professor, says that, "if one simply withholds treatment [in the
way of passive euthanasia], it may take the patient longer to die, and so

Two Brains?

... the intuitive.
It is concerned more with the visual and emotional side of life.
Most people, if they thought about it, would identify more with their
left brain. In fact, many of us think we are our left brains. All of that non-
stop verbalization that goes on in our heads is the dominant left brain talking

three Rs (decidedly left-brain territory) - effectively represses the intuitive
and artistic right brain. If you don't believe it, see how far you get at the
office with the right brain activity of dayd ...

Euthanasia
Number of Words: 419 / Number of Pages: 2
... HOW IS LIFE PRECIOUS, WHEN IT CAN
NOT BE LIVED TO THE FULLEST ?.
I believe that Euthanasia should be legalized because of that option
of dying. People say that their should be a option to live, but I think
that there should also be a option to die. Many also think that they should
stay alive because they don't want death for their own reason. Why not put
them out of there misery, if the pain that one goes through is excruciating
why not let them die.
Many states have laws that state, that explain the condition of when a
person is deceased. States believe that they should authorize the deat ...
