... example, Walter White from "Breaking Bad" was a high school chemistry teacher who began manufacturing crystal meth. Although science gave him the knowledge to produce the drug, it was his decision alone. Walter's decision seems evil in the short-term, but has long-term justification, which ... Although at first this was considered heresy, it greatly helped to shape the future of humankind. Indirectly, this simple discovery also led to many other scientific breakthroughs. Since it's discovery in the early twentieth century, nuclear science has been a powerful source of energy, as well as...

... can lead to many cures in the future. Stem cells are considered the building blocks of biology. Research in developmental biology is what led to the discovery of human stem cells, precursor cells that can give rise to multiple tissue types. A stem cells comes to be when an egg is fertilized and ... many genetic diseases through DNA engineering, thus extending the human life span (Yount 40). All of this new knowledge sounds exiting, but what are some of the negative effects to this new development in biological discovery? Well, to carry out this research can cost scientist a large amount o...

... of the patient. It was not until the late nineteenth century in which physicians finally began to understand the anatomy and physiology of Parkinson's disease. Throughout the past decade the knowledge base for Parkinson's disease has increased tremendously. Parkinson's disease has now been identified and cataloged by the medical community as a serious and potentially fatal neuro-degenerative disease. The disease ... and deep-brain stimulation are a few of the surgical options for Parkinson's patients. Stem cell transplantation is one of the newest pioneering research areas for Parkinson...
