This analogy is comparable to the use of ‘proofs” by Christians to make strong arguments about God’s existence. When ...

Introduction:

The morality of genetic research can play out in many ways. Two broad fields of concern are that of genetically engineered organisms and the ethics involved in the use of human stem cells taken from zygotes and human embryos.

Of special concern is that bio-engineering might escape and have long term adverse effects as the manipulated creations cross genetic structures with other biological elements in the environment. This paper will look at the general ethical concerns ...

In 1989, Alessi originally approached the Italian designer to design a stainless steel ...
