There is an creature that lives two to three years, is unable to vomit, has no gall bladder, will give birth to 100 young each year, can synthesize Vitamin C in it's body, and could be up to three billion times more cancer-prone than a human. That creature is a mouse and it is used for scienti...

Science: A Blessing or a CurseIn the early stages of civilization, man used to be scared of the natural forces like thunder, storm and lightning. He used to worship every object of nature like sky, earth, trees, air, sun and moon and even animals were worshipped. It was because man could not underst...

Cruelty of Animal Testing Every year, millions of animals suffer and die in painful tests to determine the safety of cosmetics and other products. Substances such as eye shadow and soap are tested on rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, dogs, and other animals, despite the fact that the test res...

Most of us in this room have probably not suffered from a debilitating illness or a life-threatening disease. But maybe you know of someone who has. Has either of your parents or grandparents been diagnosed with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or some other illness? Has someone you know had surg...

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...

Animal ExperimentationThe United States government should come up with alternatives to animal experimentation. The use of animals in research, testing, and education is an issue of increasing concern to the American public. An increasing number of adults and teenagers are concerned about the welfa...

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...

Animal Testing/Experimentation: Why not? People who would end experimentation on laboratory animals don't understand the importance it. They don't realize that we have came a long way in animal research that has benefited humans tremendously. From bettering human bodies, curing diseases...

Each year, scientists use 17-22 million animals for experimentation. Among these, are puppies, kittens, pigs, rabbits, horses and monkeys. These animals lie in steel and concrete pens. Few of these animals have access to food or water. The animals are so thin you can see their bones, and many of tho...

Imagine a cold dark room with cages lined against the walls. The cries of living creatures' echoes throughout the building as if the entrapped animals are able to sense their fate. Lying on a table are several rabbits strapped down with tiny cups attached to their bellies. These rabbits are going...

By 6:00 this evening, hundreds of animals will have had their eyes, skin, or gastrointestinal systems burned or destroyed to produce new versions of deodorant, hairspray, lipstick, and nail polish. Anesthesia is rarely administered, and these poor animals can suffer in agony for up to 168 hours. I...

When I first arrived "Lisa" The girl that I shadowed told me that there was an emergency with one of the animals. It ended up that a one-year-old beagle ate an entire thing of metabolite, and then slowly started to die. The liver had shut down, and the heart rate was up to 300. Lisa told me that ...

Human Cloning: Is It Ethical? The amazing advances in technologies and sciences today are mind-boggling. Humans have stepped foot on the moon, they can save each other from physical trauma in a wide array of ways, they can separate atoms into smaller quarks, and they have found medicine for multip...

Early in 1997, Scottish scientist Dr. Ian Wilmot revealed to the world that he had successfully cloned an entire adult sheep. Dolly was the young clone's given name. With this announcement, the world made a collective gasp at the realization that no longer was cloning a "pipe dream" or an ...

Cloning is a new science that has much to offer. We can learn how to grow and harvest organs, which would eliminate the waiting list for those in need of a heart, liver or other vital organs. Many are worried that cloning will be used for the wrong purposes such as creating multiple copies of one ...

What Is Cloning?Cloning is the production of multiple, identical offspring. A clone is an animal who is genetically identical to its donor "parent". We now know that this can be achieved using cells derived from a microscopic embryo, a fetus, or from an adult animal. Cloning from adult animals was i...

The Future of Cloning Cloning humans has recently become a possibility that seems much more feasible in today's society than it was twenty years ago. It is a method that involves the production of a group of identical cells or organisms that all derive from a single individual (Grolier 220). It i...

"To Clone, Or Not To Clone?" Did you ever imagine having a child that is the exact replica of you? Did you ever imagine of having the cure for heart disease or cancer? Well, these fantasies are not far from reach. The way we could reach these fantasies is through a process called cloning...

TO CLONE OR NOT TO CLONE Imagine how life would become when millions of people start looking alike, acting alike, and thinking alike. There would be no diversity what so ever in today's society. Since February 23rd, 1997, when British scientists announced to the world that they had successfu...

Eight thousand years ago, when humans didn't have an astounding affect on the world ecosystem, trees covered two fifths of the land. Since that time, the human race has burnt and chopped down half of the original forestland. According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, deforestation is d...

Part of our American culture is based on food and the way people treat themselves biologically by deciding what is acceptable to eat. Unfortunately a great portion of our society does not carefully think about the biological effects of certain foods. We live in an era of fad diets and health cons...

"I know it when I see it." This statement confirms what many of us believe about the data we accrue with our senses on a daily basis. We know something when we apprehend somethingâ€"or, to use another cliché, if it quacks like a duck, smells like a duck, and floats ...

With this announcement the world made a collective gasp at the realization that no longer was cloning a pipe dream or an element of sc...

Cloning should be an acceptable process in today's society. Cloning, a method, which involves a production of a group of identical cells or organisms that, comes from a single individual. By making cloning acceptable in today's society we are saying that everyone has the right to make a replica of t...
