If we were meant to be perfect, then why doesn't god make us so? Paul says that we should rejoice in our weakness because it gives us reason to want to get closer to God. One might argue that we now have the means to "improve" on God's work, to help those in need lead a more ...

Do the Benefits of Cloning Research Outweigh the Risks Introduction: Cloning, the new age technology, many people think that it will help the world, but there can be mistakes. Cloning is different than genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is used to fix heredity problems such as heart diseas...

Cloning is defined as a form of genetic engineering in which the DNA of a person, animal, plant, or even a bacterium is used to produce a perfect or near-perfect genetic replica of the original. Abolishing human cloning before it begins, has been a controversial debate since the 1940s. Many research...

Biotechnology is an unstoppable reality, and it should be something closely watched (Thompson). Biotechnology concerns human beings, problems concerning plants, animals and the environment. There is a great range of issues and topics when talking about biotechnology. However, the main question is wh...

The idea of a perfect race was first thought of way back during World War II, by Adolf Hitler. He wanted a nation of tall, healthy, intelligent, blonde-haired humans and these were the beginnings of biological engineering. The experiments carried out on the Jews, in the concentration camps, were utt...

Cloning A clone is a cell, group of cells, or organism that is descended from and genetically identical to a single ancestor. Or to look at in another view, a clone is a copy, an organism descended asexually form a single ancestor. There are different types of cloning however, and cloning tec...

Human cloning in its simplest form is the artificial process of making a genetic copy of a human being. It is the extraction of one organisms DNA being replicated and grown to be an exact copy of the original. This could mean that at some point in the future, any person could have an identical twin ...

On February 24, 1997, scientists at the Roslin Institute in Edinburg, England announced that they had cloned an adult mammal for the first time. This was just one of many blind leaps in science that humanity has made. As we race forward in our decisions to create life, we neglect to look at the cons...

For humans to consider the cloning of one another forces them all to question the very concepts of right and wrong that make them all human. Aside from a few valid ethical arguments against it, I support the move to clone humans.. Scientists and ethicists alike have debated the implications of hu...

This paper will examine the scientific view verse religion. I feel support for the big picture is shallow and untenable. I believe in science but I also have faith. Scientific research has lead to dramatic and more humane treatments of persons suffering from mental disease, depression, and physica...
