Joel Michalek, the lead investigator in the study, told a Pentagon news conference that because studies have not yet explained a biological relation between dioxin and diabetes, the Air Force cannot say conclusively that wartime exposure to is a cause of diabetes.

Words: 576 - Pages: 3.... For example, as a child my parents would always warn me about a kid I hung out with who lived in my neighborhood. They warned me a million times about him.

Animal Cruelty Leads To Human
Words: 1540 - Pages: 6.... much worse, though. These people aren’t just forgetting
to feed their pets, or give them attention, they’re kicking and beating them, poisoning and
butchering these poor creatures, and what makes me sick to my stomach, is that some of
these people do it for fun!! I recently ran across a link to a web page that contained a
online petition to put a cat’s killers to justice with maximum sentence. This is the article I
found on this brutal torture of an innocent creature.
***WARNING*** (graphic details)

Saving The Animals?
Words: 977 - Pages: 4.... to move the cause of pro-life forward. The end result was not what he had wanted; the medical community was outraged and the people who believed in the right to choose strengthened their resolve. This quote by Dr. Henry Morgentaler, the country’s best-known pro-abortion crusader, illustrates this point very accurately. "This is a sign of the moral bankruptcy of the so-called pro-life movement. It bespeaks their frustration and rage at the fact that they have not been able to convince the public of the rightness of their cause," (Cnn 2) The frustration that Dr. Morgentaler mentions is even further enhanced when the pro-lifers see that the .....

Legalization Of Marijuana
Words: 1196 - Pages: 5.... blindness due to an increase of pressure in the eyeball, can be dealt with by using marijuana because it decreases the pressure in the eyeball (Cowley 23).

Euthanasia
Words: 1048 - Pages: 4.... only a human act but also allows the person, who is "living to die," to maintain their dignity; this way, they will let them die in peace, rather than suffer to the end. Because if not, they think of themselves as a disgrace, to those they love.

If there is a chance a baby might be a female, it will either be killed or the parents may hide the child from the authorities. Even so, the females that are kept are usually not treated well.
