.... our understanding of living human beings. In a notable defense of this position, philosopher Mary Anne Warren has proposed the following criteria for "person-hood": 1) consciousness (of objects and events external and or internal to the being), and in particular the capacity to feel pain. 2) reasoning (the developed capacity to solve new and relatively complex problems) 3) self-motivated activity (activity which is relatively independent of either genetic or direct external control) 4) the capacity to communicate, by whatever means, messages of an indefinite variety of possible contents, but on indefinltely many possible topics. 5) the pre .....

.... that moment the fetus is formed as a unique person that is allowed to develop freely, would grow to function independently." So abortion is wrong. Many pro-choice proponents argue that human life begins at viability, the moment when a fetus can survive outside the mothers womb. That is why they believe abortion is an okay decision to make. Pro-life advocates believe that a babys life begins at conception. They state "That right to be born overrides the mothers right to make decisions about her body since her decisions to abort affect the life of another human being, the unborn baby."To them abortion is "murder." They say that "Its not a .....

.... decides to "play God" by causing his own death, or assisting in the death of another, insults his Maker and invites eternal damnation. The Supreme Court's conservative bloc would never explicitly adopt such reasoning, because the First Amendment forbids the establishment of religion. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed, for the first time in the history of nations, that each person exists as an end in himself. This basic truth which finds political expression in the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness means in practical terms that you need no one's permission to live and that no one may forcibly obstruct your effo .....

.... is a primary focus in most nursing homes. Curfews exist to insure the safety and protection of the residents. Also, busses take the senior citizens to places of common interest, such as the grocery store and local shopping malls. This alleviates the everyday stress of driving for those residents who are losing some of their basic faculties, and creates a safer driving environment for everyone. In addition, these older citizens are protected from those con-artists who prey deliberately on the elderly. Nursing homes are full of entertainment and activities. I recall visiting a local nursing home with my second grade Brow .....

.... and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. In order to be diagnosed with ADHD some symptoms that cause impairment must have been present before seven years of age. Also some impairment from the symptoms must be present in at least two settings such as work, home or school. It is very unusual for an individual to display the same level of dysfunction in all settings or within the dame setting at all times. There must also be clear evidence of interference with developmentally appropriate social, academic, or occupational functioning (First, 1994, p.78). A person must have a certain n .....

.... a way of preventing or controlling these nightly events. Humans must, like any animal, sleep. We do not fully understand why we must sleep. We only know that if we are deprived of sleep long enough that we will most certainly die. The same is true for dreams and dreaming(1). If we sleep long enough we will reach an advanced stage of sleep where our body begins to experience rapid eye movement (REM). It is during this REM period that we experience most of our dreams. Many scientists try to speculate the reasons for dreaming through biological our psychological means. This proves to be very frustrating for someone trying to find empirical m .....

.... be able to fully comprehend and analyze this question we must first ascertain what HIV is, how the body attempts to counter the effects of viruses in general, and how HIV infects the body. Definition HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is classified as a RNA Retrovirus. A retrovirus uses RNA templates to produce DNA. For example, within the core of HIV is a double molecule of ribonucleic acid, RNA. When the virus invades a cell, this genetic material is replicated in the form of DNA . But, in order to do so, HIV must first be able to produce a particular enzyme that can construct a DNA molecule using an RNA template. This .....

.... are characterized by intense feelings of sadness and despair that can become feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Some of the symptoms of a depressive episode include anhedonia, disturbances in sleep and appetite, psycomoter retardation, loss of energy, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, guilt, difficulty thinking, indecision, and recurrent thoughts of death and suicide. The manic episodes are characterized by elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, poor judgment and insight, and often reckless or irresponsible behavior (Hollandsworth, Jr. 1990 ). Bipolar affective disorder affects approximately .....

.... to coca paste; then the paste is treated with very strong chemicals to make a white powdery mixture." "They can be also called C, Charlie, coke, dust, gold dust, lady snow and white." "Cocaine is very expensive and so dealers push up their profits by mixing it with anything else that is white and powdery." "In the mid nineteenth century, cocaine is used in eye, ear and throat surgery." "Now, they have been largely replaced by synthetic and local anesthetics such as lidocaine." There are different ways of taking cocaine, because it is in a powdery form. "The most popular ways to take cocaine is snorting into nostrils or taking i .....

.... the pharynx and the drum, the Eustachian tube. The inner ear contains the sensory receptors for hearing which are enclosed in a fluid filled chamber called the cochlea. The outer and middle ears purposes are only to receive and amplify sound. Those parts ofd the ear are only present in amphibians and mammals, but the inner ear is present in all vertebrates. The ear can hear in several different ways. They are volume, pitch, and tone. Pitch is related to the frequency of the sound wave. The volume depends on the amplitude or intensity of the sound wave. The greater the frequency, the higher the pitch. Humans can hear about 30 and 20, .....
