AIDS: Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
Words: 685 - Pages: 3.... left.
You used to only be able to get an HIV test at your doctor, but now they
have home tests that are confidential. You go to the store pick one up prick
your finger then mail in the blood sample, in about two or three weeks you call
in and enter your special pin number and they give you your results. I think
this is cool but there has to be some drawbacks like them getting samples messed
up and it getting mixed up in the mail or other stupid things like that, like if
you really don't have the disease but you get someone elses reading who does
have HIV.
Thats about all I know about this horrible disease,so ill move on to
what I found w .....

Insulin-Dependent Diabetes
Words: 1786 - Pages: 7.... glucose. Glucose circulates in
the blood as a major energy source for body functions. Its use is
regulated primarily by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas gland
(located behind the stomach). In the person with diabetes, there is
a malfunction in the production of insulin. There are two main types
of diabetes: Type I or Insulin-Dependent and Type II or Noninsulin-
Dependent.
The insulin-dependent type of diabetes generally has onset during
childhood or adolescence, though it can occur at any age. Because
the pancreas supplies little or no insulin in this disease, daily
injections of th .....

Psychoanalysis
Words: 1310 - Pages: 5.... or images may be condensed into one; thoughts may be dramatized in the form of images rather than expressed as abstract concepts; and certain objects may be represented symbolically by images of other objects, although the resemblance between the symbol and the original object may be vague or farfetched. The laws of logic, indispensable for conscious thinking, do not apply to these unconscious mental productions.
Recognition of these modes of operation in unconscious mental processes made possible the understanding of such previously incomprehensible psychological phenomena as dreaming. Through analysis of unconscious processes, Freud saw d .....

AIDS In The Classroom
Words: 416 - Pages: 2.... the virus but rather treat each child as
though they had AIDS. By taking precautions such as wearing gloves when
handling wounds, the risk of transmitting the disease is significantly
lowered and the integrity of the child with AIDS remains protected. This
idea has many faults. For one, children simply cannot be watched at all
times. Referring to my earlier statement that kids will be kids. Also,
what kind of environment is it to learn in when your teacher can't treat
your scrapes without putting rubber gloves on first, a situation which will
certainly lead to ridicule from peers.
There is a simpler, more affective way of deal .....

DNA: An Invasion Of Privacy?
Words: 464 - Pages: 2.... There are also three requirements for law enforcement officials to have before they can proceed with obtaining DNA, “(1) probable cause to believe the suspect has committed the crime, (2) a clear indication that relevant material evidence will be found and (3) the method used to secure it is safe and reliable. (347)” These laws were put into place also to protect U.S. citizens. At the same time they exist so the court systems time is not wasted on a case that has no evidence to go on.
There are all types of reasons DNA tests should be done. Whether they are ethical or not is hard to say. Should someone who is suspected of a rape ha .....

Abortion Should Be Made Illegal

in writing." (Young 25-27) The bible (Exodus 21:22, 23) has clearly stated
that a person would be held accountable for hurting an unborn baby. (Young 25-
27) Take this for example; Say a woman is walking down the street carrying a
child in her arms. Another woman is walking down that same street carrying a
child, only this woman is carrying the child in her. Both children are
dependent on their mothers, both just dependent in different ways. (Schwarz 35)
Take another example "Suppose a woman suffers a miscarriage, A sympathetic
doctor will not tell her, "You have lost your fetus"; he will say; "You have
lost your child"." (Schwa .....

Female Genital Mutilation And Culture
Words: 419 - Pages: 2.... Somalia, N.Kenya,, W. Africa and all along the Red Sea coast. After the clitoris is excised and all external genitalia are carved away, the bleeding raw edges of the libia majora are held together by thorns or other fasting devices, until a scar forms to close the entrance to the vagina. The legs of the little girl are tied together for several weeks until the wound heals; a tiny opening is created by inserting a splinter of wood to allow urination. Thus virginity, which is considered especially important by Moslem men, can be proven.
These dangerous operations result in permanent damage: hemorrhage and shock, which may be fatal; many inf .....

Sleep And Dreams
Words: 673 - Pages: 3.... why do they occur? There are a few explanations for this question. It is a fact that we all must sleep. We constantly go through cycles of sleep and wakefulness. During each cycle, our minds must be active. Obviously when we are awake, we are using our minds for various actions. When we are asleep, it is not as obvious how are minds are at work. To keep are minds active during sleep we must dream.
Many researchers suggest that dreams be formed by disturbances of the body. Not until that mid 19th century another philosopher as great as Aristotle come along. A man by the name of Sigmund Freud truly revolutionized the field of dreaming. Freud .....

Abortion And American Legal System
Words: 446 - Pages: 2.... a Minnesota law requiring parental consent and a forty-eight hour delay for adolescents seeking abortions. Many feel this denies adolescents “equal rights, equal access, and real choice”. Once again chipping away from women’s reproductive rights, and further restricting the earlier Roe v. Wade decision.
The law is contradicting because it does in fact place obstacles in the way of a woman’s obtaining an abortion.
From the readings in the Mahler text, one can assume that Nigeria does not have a stable democracy. After reading this passage I was asked to analyze and access the Nigerian regime in terms of state autonomy and whet .....
