In order for a scientist in genetic engineering to end sufferings from children and adults they would have to continuously breed out the non-desired trait. Meaning this would take many years of a long and tedious process. In other words if you wanted the odds at 0.01 you would need to breed the trait out through 90 generations. To have a one in one million chance it would take 900 generations. That is not the desired time the scientist were hoping for as well as the population. This book is 136 pages so i did only give an exert from a paragraph that really stuck out to me.

The subject of the child obesity epidemic has been high in the last 4 years. Did the government have to right to force what is or isnt allowed to be served, sold, and purchased on school campuses? This artical has it all explained pretty well.

New York City Mayor is trying to ban sugar drinks that are larger than 16 ounces because it is one of the main causes of obesity. People argue that although they agree with the fact that soft drinks are indeed unhealthy, the government should protect the freedom of the people.

taking away the drinks are going too far but the idea is right, obesity is a huge problem in the US and although it is an argument of freedom to eat, drink etc whatever you may please but when it comes to health that is a whole differnt concern.

This website catagorizes what preventative health serices are available at no cost for adults, women and children.

Embryonic stem cell research is the most controversial stem cell research since it involves destroying a human embryo. Embryonic stem cells are more beneficial than adult stem cells because they grow quicker and target a wider category of diseases. Creating and then destroying embryos is an non ethical treatment of the value of life.

Stem cell research is a touchy subject with a lot of people, mostly because it's about ethics. A lot of where stem cells come from is embryos, but there are a lot of other places they come from - such as Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells which are derived from an adult somatic cell.

Packets contain ALL forms and ALL instructions needed for this process. Where there are separate packets for Instructions and Forms, get BOTH packets. This is just the first step inorder to become an adult before the ago of 18. Some children are just more mature than their guardians or parents and understand that they can do better by them selves.

In the face of extraordinary advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases, devastating illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and diseases of the nervous system, such as Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease, continue to deprive people of health, independence, and well-being. Research in human developmental biology has led to the discovery of human stem cells (precursor cells that can give rise to multiple tissue types), including embryonic stem (ES) cells, embryonic germ (EG) cells, and adult stem cells. Recently, techniques have been developed for the in vitro culture of stem cells, providing unprecedented opportunities for studying and understanding human embryology

This article describes what exactly the Dream Act is and how if allows for immigrants to attend Universities in the United States. The Dream Act allows for undocumented students the rights of being permanent residents in the United States

In previous posts, we've seen why Planned Parenthood has been threaten by being defund but what we don't know is why medical doctors prefer fetal tissue. Some say that it's because it can adapt easier than adult cells. Without fetal tissue, doctors would've never discovered vaccines and such to keep our human race on it's feet.
