Brad Pitt's Mother Jane Writes Anti-Gay Marriage, Pro-Romney Letter To Missouri Newspaper - 0 views

  •  
    I found this article interesting because not only does it support the conservative, anti-gay rights side of my research, but also because it revolves around the opinions of a celebrity's relative. I feel it's important to discuss both sides of the story so the audience will be compelled to think for themselves.

Football is corrupting America's universities: it needs to go - Forbes - 0 views

  • Last week, U. Maryland (where I was a professor until this past summer) announced it was eliminating 8 varsity sports teams to make up for the fact that football was losing too much money.
  • Here’s what they are cutting: men’s cross-country, indoor track, outdoor track, men’s swimming and diving, men’s tennis, women’s acrobatics and tumbling, women’s swimming and diving, and women’s water polo.
  •  
    This proves my point that football is more important than other sports by eliminating 8 varsity sports because it had a bad season. The president of U. Maryland Wallace Loh was the one to send this information of to the students, teachers and faculty.

Same-sex marriage - 0 views

  •  
    This article is practically the foundation of my research and without it, my research would be nothing. Some compelling facts in it are that the Ancient Roman Emperor Nero was known to have married at least two men in his lifetime and and Ancient Native Americans who entered same-sex relationships were revered and even considered holy.

History of same-sex unions - 0 views

  •  
    Through this article, I was able to find information that I will be using in my presentation. Some facts I found compelling were that the Ancient Roman Emperor Nero married at least two men in his lifetime and in Ancient Native America, same-sex unions were revered and even considered holy in many different tribes.

Defense of Marriage Act - 0 views

  •  
    This article is vital to my research because it describes the Defense of Marriage Act in an as much detailed and unbiased manner as possible. The Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders have deemed this act unconstitutional because it denies homosexual, married couples federal benefits.

The "Gill" Question - 0 views

  •  
    This article is helpful to my research because it tells that President Obama is the first American president to endorse same-sex marriage and by the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), declares the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional because it denies same-sex married couples federal benefits. DOMA was enacted in September 1996 by President Clinton that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

  • Growing a complete, functioning brain is unfeasible, but there is real potential in growing functional neural tissue containing specific types of cells, for transplantation into the human brain.
    • Daniel Opie
       
      It may not be possible to regrow a complete brain but we may not have to. If medical science was able they could potentially regrow certain cells and parts of the brain that have degenerated that could prove to cure certain diseases like Alzheimers.  
  •  
    A study is being done in Japan that has regrown a pituitary gland that is fully funtional when it was transplanted into mice. How soon will it be before it is done on humans? Or is it already being done?

Vatican to finance adult stem cell research - Health - Cloning and stem cells - msnbc.com - 0 views

  •  
    Most people including religious persons oppose embryonic stem cell use but most if not all people are willing to experiment or allow adult stem cell use. It seems reasonable because adult stem cell research has been the only one that has proven to give effective results with out harming life. Will this prove to be the future of medicine and if so how soon will it be fully available and what price will the average person have to fork out for its use?

stemcellresearch.org - Fact Sheet: Adult Stem Cells (72) v. Embryonic Stem Cells (0) - 0 views

  •  
    This is showing me that the type of stem cells that i have chosen to focus on are the only ones that have shown any results in curing these illnesses. Will science do a way with embryonic stem cells and gear their efforts toward adult stem cell research or continue to try and use embryonic stem cells?

    This explains to me the different ethics people have towards embryo-tic stem cell research. But is using adult stem cell research as controversial and disliked as embryo-tic stem cell use?
