... and, in essence, is logical analytical, judgemental and verbal. It's interested in the bottom line, in being efficent. The right brain controls the left side of the body and leans more to the creative, the intuitive. It is concerned more with the visual and emotional side of life. Most people, if they thought about it, would identify more with their left brain. In fact, many of us think we are our left brains. All of that non-stop verbalization that goes on in our heads is the dominant left brain talking to itself. Our culture- particularly our school system with its emphasis on the three Rs (decidedly left-brain territory) - effectively represses the ...

... the pound, and the chloroform. No human being with a spark of pity could let a living thing suffer so, to no good end"( Rachels 13). The experience of Stewart Alsop, a respected journalist, with his terminally ill friend Jack, forces us to ask why a dying dog is entitled to more humane treatment than a human in the same condition. Finding a humane and sensible approach to treating the terminally ill has become a hotly debated topic in recent years. One approach to this problem is euthanasia, which by definition mean "a painless death, a mercy killing"(Webster's 190). In other words, euthanasia is causing the death of someone who is already dying and in such pain ...

... for the substantial impact of environmental, social and individual factors so that drinking to excess can only be predicted within a complex, multivariate framework. The denial of this complexity in some quarters obscure what has been discovered through genetically oriented research and has dangerous consequences for prevention and treatment policies. A tremendous amount of attention and research has recently been concentrated on the inheritance of alcoholism and on the possibility of accounting genetically for drunken behavior. The major purpose for this research was the adoption studies conducted in Scandinavia in the 1970’s which found reliable genetic, but ...

Anthrax can be sprayed into the air in a subway of any other public places with something as simple as an aerosol can or a pesticide spray device. Anthrax spores can be placed in a artillery shell that could explode and spray the bacteria over a wide area. Engineers also reportedly built small unmanned planes that could deliver anthrax to neighboring countries, flying low and undetected. Similar unmanned aircraft can be used as a inexpensive biological warfare arsenal. "If you delivered anthrax against Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, you could be looking at thousands of casualties, maybe even ten thousands," said Dr. ...

Haemophilia A is a hereditary disorder in which bleeding is due to deficiency of the coagulation factor VIII (VIII:C)3. In most of the cases, this coagulant protein is reduced but in a rare amount of cases, this protein is present by immunoassay but defective.4 Haemophilia A is the most common severe bleeding disorder and approximately 1 in 10,000 males is effected. The most common types of bleeding are into the joints and muscles. Haemophilia is severe if the factor VIII:C levels are less that 1 %, they are moderate if the levels are 1- ...

... within the continental United States alone, with a slight increase each year (Bergman xi). This would seem to be an astounding figure, but when the figure of the total amount of babies that are born in the United States is compared to that of the number of deaths due to SIDS, it accounts for only a small percentage. It is a small percentage that hopefully can be reduced. And to any parents, the loss of just one child is definitely one too many, despite of the statistics that are currently available. During the first week of life is where most deaths that are associated with prematurity dominate, SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants under one year o ...
