Traditionally, animals have been used to ensure the safety of our consumer products and drugs. Yet around the world, scientists, regulators and animal protectionists work together to develop alternatives to their use. The use of animals in the life sciences dates back to ancient Greece and the earli...

For centuries, animals have been used in medical research. Since 1875, animal experimentation has been an ongoing heated debate on whether experiments on animals are ethical. At the very start, the movement against animal testing focused mainly on the \"inhumanity of hurting and killing living being...

Many animal activists are disappointed with the pace at which animal testing is being reduced, refined, and especially, replaced (the "Three Rs" of the alternatives approach). Considerable progress has been made, however, in the science of alternatives and in the attitudes among toxicologists and co...

Many things have been said about life, and many explanations have been made to try and explain this \"life\" and how it came into existence. About 150 years ago a man by the name of Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution in an attempt to explain the world from a scientific perspective. Cha...

Today people go to the super market thinking they are getting good clean healthy products, but instead half of what they are buying has undergone genetic therapy. You pick up a beautiful looking red tomato and you think it has probably been on the vine the longest, but in fact almost all tom...

More than 130 million persons in the United States and Canada and millions more on all continents enjoy hunting, viewing, and feeding wildlife, according to a survey reported by the Wildlife Society, the organization for professionals (Odom 108). Commercial trapping (and its counterpart, commercial ...

The science technology and knowledge of science have gradually expand and tremendous improve over decades. Cloning research is one of many enormous breakthroughs in Science. The issue of cloning have always been controversial because there are always been an argument between religious belief and S...

Living in this time of the world whereby we constantly seek solutions in Science and its technology for our daily living, no less should it be understood that the answers they provide are not permanent as Science and hence its technology never will remain stagnant. Science is questioning. Its inve...

Marine Science is the general term for research conducted in oceans and coastal or inland waters connected to the sea. This particular field is probably the best known to the public. Marine...

A century and a half ago, a man by the name of Charles Darwin went on a journey around the world. This trip sparked an idea that would permanently alter the future of biology, and in conjunction with a certain Alfred Wallace, led to the publication of one of the most controversial and earth-shaking ...

Carl Linnaeus was a scientific mastermind, still driven by his religious beliefs but intelligent enough not to let them stand in the way of what his findings were showing. Linnaeus was a botanist, a physician, and most importantly the founder of taxonomy. Throughout the course of his life he would ...

Fear in a Test Tube Cloning, genetically tailoring offspring, and creating the "perfect human" were all advances in science that seemed unattainable yet desirable. People were amazed by the myth of genetically altering DNA, and daydreamed of the day that they themselves could create ano...

The theory of evolution attempts to explain processes by which living organisms originated on earth and have been diversified and modified through changes in form and function Early explanations of these processes were attempted during the 18th century. The growth of natural history then led to an i...

For some unknown reason, the belief that human beings came from monkeys has been a translation of the theory of evolution. This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the many myths regarding evolution. Evolution is a process that explains why life on Earth looks the way it does today. It provides ...

LIFE The greater mankind's knowledge becomes, the harder it is to define the idea of life. This difficulty is curious since almost all human beings fell that they know, without any ambiguity, the difference between something alive and something dead. However, our advancing knowledge tells ...

Human Cloning Is It Ethical Or Is It Beneficial or Devastating Human cloning is a big issue in the world today. This has been a controversial issue over the possibilities that, human cloning would become the greatest breakthrough in the scientific world, or is it unet...

Genetic Catastrophe "While the 20th century was shaped largely by spectacular breakthroughs in the field of physics and chemistry, the 21st century will belong to the biological sciences. Scientists around the world are quickly deciphering the genetic code of life, unlocking the mystery of b...

Creationism vs. Evolution The majority of people in this world believe that a spiritual being created earth. In fact, "most religions and cultures believe the universe was created by a 'creative hand,' either a sky god or some other physical object" (Encarta 1). Think of it, as a trial to see ...
