"Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) also known as therapeutic cloning, and based on the field of study generally understood as involving human or embryonic stem cell research, is a form of scientific research that has the potential to lead to cures and treatments for serious chronic diseases. SCNT involves the removal of the nucleus of an unfertilized eggcell, replacing it with the material from the nucleus of a somatic cell, a skin, heart or nerve cell..."

"Abortion and the Public Interest

Introduction:
The intention of the following pages is to explore the way in which arguments are constructed for the pro and con positions regarding government funding for abortions. Although both positions will be summarized, the pro position will be examined in more detail.

The Abortion Polarities:
The essential abortion "debate" consists of two diametrically opposed positions. Those who favor abortion as an available option for women under a number of conditions, generally labeled the "pro-choice" position. Those of this mind-set contend that the fetus is essentially not yet human life, but tissue that is ..."

From the Paper
"Abortion was one of those topics reserved for private conversations until 1973. After the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, it became a major headline and remains an important and controversial medical, political, religious, and ethical issue. According to Louis Palmer , thousands of abortion organizations have developed since 1973. Abortion violence and demonstrations and the laws designed to combat such protests, embryonic cloning, embryo/fetal stem cell research, assisted reproductive technology, surrogacy, major birth defects and sexual diseases are a few of social issues resulting from the abortion debacle."

Abstract
An argumentative paper about the legalization of abortion. The author argues for the freedom of abortion by looking at the consequences of making abortion illegal, the possibilities of other options and the religious, ethical and moral aspects involved.

From the Paper
"Though I do not support the absolute freedom of abortion, I do not agree that abortion is wrong. In my opinion, we have to consider all the circumstances behind the woman's decision to abort the child and we should allow her to make the ultimate decisions. The possible consequences of making abortions illegal can be more drastic than abortion itself. In this paper, I considered three issues: first, the events of 1930s through 1960s, when abortion was illegal; second, the possible option of adoption; and last, the religious aspects of abortion."

Abstract
This paper examines the arguments both for and against abortion and answers the question "Should states keep some avenues open for legal abortions?" The paper presents arguments on both sides and contends abortions should not be legal.

From the Paper
"There are few political hot potatoes in America hotter than the issue of abortion. Pro-abortion advocates see abortion as a right that preserves the woman's control over her body, anti-abortion advocates see abortion as wrong because it is murder. Between these two poles are myriad other opinions that fall somewhere on the continuum between them. In the crossfire between the two sides are questions that must be resolved. One of these is the issue of whether states should..."

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
The issue of abortion is the most divisive social and political issue in America today. There are two opposing armies of dedicated true-believers, one opposing abortion under any circumstances because they view it as the murder of an unborn child, and the other upholding the idea of choice as an absolute allowing the woman to secure an abortion without hindrance at any point in her pregnancy. Standing between these two extremes are millions of Americans with a more moderate view. This view includes a concern for the trauma of the woman and an understanding that abortion is a choice not to be made lightly. These millions of Americans area also willing to allow some restrictions on abortions without banning the option altogether. The issue to be explored here is government funding for ..."

Abstract
This paper is be a point/counterpoint argument against the view that abortion is wrong and dangerous for women to undergo. The paper's position is that abortion is a medically sound and reasonable procedure and one that should be available to women as an option. The paper addresses the following two arguments: that abortion is a risk for women in that it can cause or lead to breast cancer, and that abortion pills such as RU-486 and the morning-after pill are wrong and/or dangerous.

From the Paper
"Abortion: Point/Counterpoint Even before the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision by the United States Supreme Court in the 1970s, the issue of abortion had been a divisive one within this nation's borders. With some individuals and groups claiming that abortion is immoral and akin to murder and others fighting for a woman's right to choose what is done or not done with her body, there has probably not been a more contentious and polarizing debate in America. To this day, as the government's current administration looks to make the court system and the Supreme Court one of conservative values, and as many disagree with these values, abortion is one of the defining issues within American politics and thought. This writer believes that abortion is an issue that is best left to the decision of the individual, of the woman who might possibly undergo such a procedure. "
