...populace regarding the pros and cons of cloning. It is a debate that continues to polarize society 15 years after the birth of the most famous sheep on Earth. Discussion We must emphasize that the cloning referred to in this article refers to reproductive, gene and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive cloning is used in the creation of an animal with the same nuclear DNA as another animal, the latter of which may be currently or previously in existence. This was the technology used in the creation of Dolly. Therapeutic cloning refers to the production of human embryos for the purpose of research. It has also been applied to create new organs or tissues for transplantation into a waiting patient with possible applications in the treatment of diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and even cancer. These two types of cloning – there is a third type known as gene cloning, by the way – are at the center of heated debates. If you wish to cast your vote on the pros and cons of cloning, it is important to acquire as much reliable and relevant information and education on the matter. Advantages of Cloning With that being said, the following are the generally accepted benefits of cloning: • Easy replacement of internal organs and tissues for patients in need of transplants instead of waiting for suitable organ donors, alive or dead. Since the transplanted organ contains most of the recipient’s genes, there is a lesser chance for rejection as well. • Cloning can be a...

...A Summary with Pros & Cons of “The Shallows: What the Internet is doing to Our Brains” Written By Nicholas Carr Summarized By Sarah Clark Information Systems for Management Summer 2013 At first glance of this book, “The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains,” I started to get the overall impression that the author, Nicholas Carr, was totally opposed to idea of technology. As a lover of technology myself, I dreaded reading this book because I thought that it was going to be a negative interpretation of technology. And while this book doesn’t exactly shed the most positive light on that subject, I’ve started to understand the overall views of Mr. Carr and identify with them as well. The book, not necessarily a discouragement of technology, but rather an explanation of how our brain operates with the constant technological noise that we are surrounded in day in and day out, comes from the authors own personal experiences. He states in the beginning of the book how he started noticing that he was having concentration problems and constantly felt the urge to check his phone, email, or blogs to stay abreast on the most current information. He started to wonder why? Why wasn’t he able to pay attention for longer than 5 or ten minutes? Why wasn’t he able to develop deep focus? Eventually he determined that it was because of the patterns with in our mind and how they have adapted with the constant flow of technology around us every day. The book focuses...

...after this physician was notified that the relationship will be severed after four months. Due to the sequence of events and the circumstances of this case, any logical, objective, and fair-minded observer would question the underlying motive of this claim and, subsequently, its validity. However, since cases like this are not usually adjudicated in the moral court or court of public opinions, this facility is prepared to explore its options and seek resolution either through a formal arrangement, a formal institution, or a legal entity such as the following: Court of law, arbitration, mediation, and / or settlement. In order to make an informed and appropriate decision, it is not only necessary to analyze and fully understand each choice conceptually and practically, but it is also important to assess the pros and cons as well. Court of Law According to Merriam Webster dictionary (1828), court of law is an arm of the judicial branch of government that adjudicates cases and administers justice, using legislation or precedence. On the basis of this definition alone, it is clear that the ideal step to take is to defend this case in the court of law in order to obtain justice. However, the circumstances of this case are...

Make sure you use ample research and cited sources to support your arguments but make sure to state your own opinion on the issues as well. Stem Cell Research TJ AS OF: 2/4/2009--Introduced. Stem Cell Research Improvement Act of 2009 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct and support research that utilizes human embryonic stem cells, regardless of the date on which the stem cells were derived from a human embryo. Limits such research to stem cells that meet the following requirements: (1) the stem cells were derived from human embryos donated from in vitro fertilization clinics, were created for the purposes of fertility treatment, and were in excess of the needs of the individuals seeking such treatment; (2) prior to donation, it was determined that the embryos would never be implanted in a woman and would otherwise be discarded; and (3) the individuals seeking fertility treatment donated the embryos with written informed consent and received no financial or other inducements. Requires the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to issue guidelines on research involving human embryonic stem cells. Authorizes the Director to issue guidelines on research involving other human stem cells, as scientifically warranted. Provides...

...The Aspects of Internal Hiring Vs. External Hiring: Pros and Cons Calvin Bowens WRTG 394 Advance Business Writing 1 October 2014 Professor John Ross Executive Summary This research provides an evaluation of the historic and current practices used to select internal employees for promotion in mid-level manager position versus selecting external candidates to fill those positions. Methods of this evaluation will include pros and cons, site managers and human resource team feedback, as well as, corporate leadership take on possible approaches. Results of this evaluation show that each hiring requirement is unique in nature when referring to positions of leadership. All members interviewed or who shared their insight stated having a clear understanding of what higher level leadership wants and demands must be established up front. Therefore, assumptions of these higher level expectations almost always end in failure of the newly hired external candidate or the internally hired employee. In addition, research finds current business practice being utilize in the company does not support selecting internally or externally. There are several areas requiring further attention and investigation, to include possible remedial training for human resource generalist and site managers for the sole purpose of building staff confidence and growing leaders from within. Corporate leaders have taken the hands-off approach to hiring mid-level managers. With that said, a clear and concise...

...Being an HR manager in any company requires a lot of carefulness and tact. The HR manager is responsible for hearing out the employees and making sure that the work environment is conducive for them. There are always problem to foresee. For example, when there is talk of unionizing and the HR manager hears about this, something has to be done immediately. This is the case with these four companies. Acme Auto Parts, The Zinnia, School District 273 and Woodville Healthcare are all relatively small companies that seem to be compensating their employees properly. However, there have been talks about unionizing. There are even petitions being signed. As an HR manager, these matters need to be handled appropriately and carefully. Acme Auto Parts is a small nonunion auto parts manufacturer. Recently, employees have been mentioning the United Auto Workers (UAW). The UAW is the union that represents the other auto companies. They are trying to organize the nonunion parts factories and they have been trying to contact Acme workers. The problem is that the workers might be convinced to join the union. As an HR manager, I need to protect the company and keep the employees happy as well. The way I would respond to this situation is to keep an open communication with the employees. They need to be aware that the Big Three automakers (Ford, General Motors and Chrysler) are trying to wring cost concessions. They are facing high competition and this is affecting Acme Auto Parts as well. I would...

...different ways to look at whether or not the national chain should change their IT applications to help support the customer loyalty program. First the consultant needs to look at all the pros and cons of both changing the applications and the pros and cons of not changing the applications. First we can look at the pros of changing the IT applications to include a customer loyalty program. A good thing that may come out of changing the IT applications would be that the national chain would hope to keep the customers that the regional chain already has. This would help them to make more money and hopefully make the merger a success. This could also attract new customers that are looking to save money when shopping for their regular groceries. By promoting the customer loyalty program and telling potential customers that if they sign up for the program that they will be saving “x” amount on certain marked products, this will more than likely start to bring in more customers to the national chain because most people are always looking for a way to save money. This will also make the national chain more money because they will have more customers coming in and out of their doors, but they will still be making money off the products that they are selling, but they may not be making as much. A con to changing the IT applications to have a customer loyalty program is that it will cost the national chain a lot of money up front. This might mean that they have to cut funds from some other...

I will apply each of the core constructs Transtheoretical Model Stages of Change to my health behavior. In addition, I will describe the processes of change that enable each of the stages as well as the preferred intervention. Finally, I will discuss my overall confidence in my ability to change this behavior. As individuals progress through the Transtheoretical Model Stages of change, decisional balance shifts in crucial ways. In the Pre-contemplation stage, the pros in favor of behavior change are outweighed by the relative cons for change and in favor of maintaining the existing behavior. In the Contemplation stage, the pros and cons tend to carry equal weight, leaving the individual ambivalent toward change. If life’s scale is tipped, in favor for change, outweighing cons for maintaining an unhealthy lifestyle or behavior; the next...

...Stella Hester EN102 English Composition II Course Project Submission Are you aware of what your child is doing online? Parents should stay well informed on what their teenagers are posting online. In this day and time social networking is a way of life with teenagers. With websites like facebook, twitter, linked in, and myspace we can update everything we do day to day in a matter of seconds. We can also post pictures, tell who are with us, and inform people of our location. These are all excellent things if they are used in the positive light of social networking, but how often are they not? Teenagers are now using these sites to harass and bully peers online. They also leave doors open for adult predators and identity theft. There has been research on the effects of social networking in teens that closely link them to low grades, psychological and social problems, and not being as active which leads them to being overweight. Statistics show that about 75% of teenagers have cell phones, which raises the question “Are we aware of what our teens are posting online”? There are many pros to our children using social media but we as parents have a duty to protect them. We must be good role models and be aware of privacy issues and concerns. There are advancement’s in today’s technology that make it easy for our children to network and stay in touch with their peers. Children who are not likely to socialize the traditional way because of shyness and social anxiety can use their...

We have been recently informed that they will be an employment reduction that will affect the systems analysis team and our budget which in turn has affected moral based on Ontha Weyout’s response during the meeting. We have identified that while we do have documentation, there is no consistency in it. A standardized method is in need to consolidate it and make the information understandable for users and stakeholders to use. One of the programmers suggested using psuedocode to standardize the documentation. However the advertising personnel are not familiar with that method. Had Al who is one of our newest programmers explained how Rouse (2005) stated that psuedocode “is a detailed yet readable description of what a computer program or algorithm must do” he might have received a different response from Mark in advertising. In addition, Al’s peer Flo and advertising executive David do not embrace the idea of using psuedocode. They have been using the systems development process with the use of CASE tools. The CASE tool can output graphical diagrams to give programmers a picture of what they are creating and non-technical users a map of sorts. It also provides “Compatibility...
