Charles Darwin first used the term natural selection in his book "The Origin of Species", which presented his distinctive views on evolution. Though the concept of evolution as such did not originate with Darwin, he was the first and most unswerving defender of the mechanism of natural s...
INTELLIGENT DESIGN: A VALID THEORY? The term natural selection was discovered by Charles Darwin in his search for the way in which life and is processes evolved. The result of his studies has caused much debate throughout science. The concept created by Darwin is the theory of evolution, ...
The pace of development in science and medicine is extremely rapid. Medicinal practices have advanced so far as to treat once devastating illnesses and have even evolved into a way to alter human genetic codes and structures. But when do these milestones cross the line of being ethical? How do we ch...
Way before technology, doctors, hospitals and healthcare there has always been mans idea of using something to further the human race or make it better. Shamans know hundreds and hundreds of plants that have different uses for different things. Certain animals have also been evolving and making cert...
Test Through Time Evolution is the process of developmental unfolding that takes place over a long period of time, and starts with a simple form then gradually grows into a more complex organism. Humans, for example, have been evolving for about eight million years to mold us i...
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...
"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...
Chances are you have already eaten genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Look at the ingredient list on any packaged food in your cupboard. Any food with ingredients from corn, soy, canola, or cottonseed is likely to be made with GMOs. Thousands of products on supermarket shelves are made with GMOs...
The very controversial issue of cloning has been argued over for years. Cloning is a relatively new process to further life. Already scientist's over-seas have created a sheep named Dolly. It took 277 times till they got the sheep to come out with no abnormalities. Many people believe that ...
Perfection In an ever changing world, people as a whole strive to better themselves both mentally and physically. Men and women attempt to peak their performance in every challenge that they face. These characteristics of the human spirit are what separate our species from all else. People have...
Human Genome Project When I first heard of the Human Genome Project I thought it was just some minor study of the human DNA. As I dug into it more, I learned that it is a very enormous study led by the DOE (U.S. Department of Energy) and the National Institute of Health . The study started in 1...
On the issue of Genetic Engineering, I personally fall "in between," I am neither for nor against that issue thus, I could make an argument for both sides. I totally support advancement, particularly when it involves science and technology, etc. But in any situation, where one must take a ...
Microevolution is a small evolution or change to a specie over a period of generations, which give so many varieties of animals on earth. In early human history, people would try to explain observable events by noting that they were a natural happenings. Aristotle was one of the first naturalist....
The idea of using technology to interfere with the reproductive process provokes excitement and fear. While DNA can be modified through natural processes it can also be modified by humans. For this to occur the DNA is first extracted from cells. Probes are small, radioactively labeled sequences of D...
To Clone or not to Clone The discovery of cloning can be both beneficial and harmful to society. There are many reasonable methods of cloning. For instance, the use of cloning for medical purposes can be helpful in taking human DNA and creating new body parts. Because of the shortage of donors, this...

Should Human Cloning be Legal? For years, part of the American public, and humans in general, have been fascinated with the possibility of creating human life by other than natural means. Cloning alters the very meaning of humanity; it is morally, ethically, and spiritually wrong. Many strongly d...

The rapid development of the technology for cloning has led to moral debates around the world on whether or not to ban creating human clones. With the advancement of clone technology two states, California and Michigan have already banned the cloning of humans. "Everybody who thought it would proc...
