Abstract
This paper discusses human egg donations and how it is transforming lives of several parents.

Abstract
The paper outlines how the article, "In Favour of Freezing Eggs for Non-Medical Reasons," by Imogen Goold and Julian Savulescu, takes the position in favor of freezing eggs for what they term "social" reasons. The paper discusses the authors' list of benefits in providing access to egg freezing and their response to counter-arguments on this issue. The writer of this paper relates that he is convinced that the benefits of the technique far outweigh any possible objections. The writer asserts that it is important to provide women with as many equal opportunity work options as possible, and the authors make very good arguments for freezing eggs and using them later in life, when partnerships, finances, and emotions have stabilized.

From the Paper
"As indicated by the title of the article, the authors take the position in favor of freezing eggs for what they term "social" reasons. This means that many women who opt for egg freezing do so for non-medical reasons. They are perfectly healthy and fit to bear children before they are thirty, for example, but for a variety of reasons find themselves unprepared for the financial and emotional responsibilities of raising children.
"The greater part of the article is then also used to focus on the various reasons why women would choose to freeze their eggs for future use. The authors introduce the article by means of research evidence. They explain for example that a younger egg has a greater chance of providing a full-term pregnancy than older eggs. The age of the egg, rather than of the womb, is of critical importance. Hence women who choose to become pregnant only later in life now have the option to do so as a result of advances in egg freezing techniques.
"The authors provide very specific information on the egg freezing techniques in the past, which were met with limited success, and compare them to current techniques, which are associated with much higher success and lower risk rates. The authors substantiate their claims with a large amount of statistical and research data."

Abstract
This paper explains that the combination of deep-seated emotions, cutting-edge technology and huge amounts of money has made the supposedly intimate act of creating a child into a serious multi-national industry. The author of the paper points out that the growth of "the baby business" raises serious ethical concerns and then relates arguments for and against the practice of compensation. The author also points out that the obvious fear is that women will be exploited for their reproductive potential. The paper urges the creation of more federal regulations to adjust the various competing interests that weigh on this procedure.

From the Paper
"Critics charge that the payment of large sums of money amount of "commodification" of egg donation. This amounts to a label more than a sound objection. The market puts a price on virtually everything, and merely adding a financial element does not necessarily make something unethical. Perhaps the greatest need in this field is not control over payments but regulations to ensure that anyone agreeing to undergo the procedure is fully informed of the nature, risks, and potential complication involved, and that reproductive clinics accept responsibility if complications develop."

Abstract
The paper discusses the first sub-theme, which concerns the socioeconomic status of people in the East and West Egg societies, as evidenced in the illustration of the wealthy and rich lifestyle of the Eastern Egg society and the 'new money' or newly found wealth (nouveau riche society) of the Western Egg society. The author relates that the second sub-theme touches on the cultural differences between the East and West Egg communities, as presented by the rich and lavish lifestyle of Tom and Daisy and the kitschy and flamboyant display of wealth shown in Gatsby's parties every Friday. The paper concludes that the last sub-theme is represented by the use of symbolism; wherein, Fitzgerald's characters serve as symbols representing the 'character' of the East Egg and West Egg societies.

From the Paper
"In "The Great Gatsby," Tom and Daisy's lifestyle greatly contrasts the majority of households located in the West Egg. In Chapter 1, Nick explicitly expresses the social inequality existing between the East and West Egg in describing the physical and cultural features of the society: "I lived at West Egg, the--well, the less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them." Nick's description of the East Egg is also evidence how this region represents the affluence and wealth of the American society. The East Egg is characterized as the "old moneyed sophistication" and the West Egg as "new moneyed aggressiveness". Although the latter's character shows a positive portrayal of a socially mobile society, that is, a society that provides opportunities for everyone, this occurrence is definitely not agreed upon by the East Egg inhabitants, who treat West Egg "contemptuously," just like Nick's description of Miss Baker's comment when she learned that the narrator resides in the West Egg region. Thus, in this sub-theme, social conflict is expressed by assessing the socio-economic status of individuals through the places that they live in, which, in the novel's case, is portrayed by the conflict between East and West Egg regions."

Abstract
The paper shows how, in "The Great Gatsby", F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the locations East Egg and West Egg to show a strong divide in social class, the American Dream as it changed for different people and the immorality of the 1920s.

From the Paper
"The party on East Egg from chapter one and the party in West Egg from chapter three show a major divide between East Egg and West Egg. The parties were used to separate the more defined and well bred East Egg from the less fashionable West Egg (symbolism 1). For instance, while at the East Egg party Fitzgerald refers the drinks as cocktails, and while at the West Egg party it is simply referred to as whiskey. This example is used to show the East Egg looks down on West Egg and to further divide the two in social standing."

Abstract
This paper presents the author's position on donating eggs for couples that are infertile but prefer to experience pregnancy rather than adopt a child or accept their fate that they cannot have children. The author presents arguments on both sides of the issue but comes out strongly opposed to egg donation.

From the Paper
"According to Egg Donations, Inc. there are some advantages to using a donated egg, some of those would be "the ability to experience a pregnancy, it could be an alternative to adoption, and would also allow the parents to choose a donor with likeable characteristics." Even with the advantages, there are still the moral dilemmas some would face by obtaining this donated egg. Some of these dilemmas include the government's involvement, the uniqueness of the child, and when it grows up how are you going to explain to it how it got here? With this alternative to adoption there will be many more orphaned children around the world without a loving home to take them in."

Abstract
This paper discusses the morality of a poor woman selling her in vitro eggs for reproductive purposes to wealthy women unable to conceive. The author points out that to apply "morality" to an actually existing code of conduct, such as in this case, is quite likely to lead to some form of relativism. The paper reflects that morality is not a simple equation to be answered in one overarching example but rather an individualistic and personal issue that cannot be judged.

From the Paper
"This paper discusses the morality of poor women selling their eggs, for reproductive purposes, to wealthy women unable to conceive. In order to set the framework for such a philosophical discussion, however, one must first define morality. How morality is defined plays a crucial, although often unacknowledged, role in formulating ethical theories. To take "morality" to refer to an actually existing code of conduct is quite likely to lead to some form of relativism. Among those who use "morality" normatively, different specifications of the conditions under which all rational persons would put forward a code of conduct result in different kinds of moral theories. To claim that "morality" in the normative sense does not have any referent, that is, to claim that there is no code of conduct that, under any plausible specified conditions, would be put forward by all rational persons, results in moral skepticism."

Abstract
This paper explains that Nick Carraway's role in "The Great Gatsby" is as a foil to the other characters; for instance, Nick's ability to deal the past allows him to cope with life in a way that Gatsby finds difficult. The author points out that Fitzgerald masterfully employs symbolism to emphasize the decline and moral decay of America in the 1920s. The paper relates that the East and West Egg are symbols of social standing in the novel. Tom and Daisy live in the East Egg, which is inhabited by individuals of a high social standing, but Nick and Gatsby, live in the West Egg, which is "less fashionable".

From the Paper
"Nick also has a firm grip on reality. When he realizes it is his thirtieth birthday, he thinks to himself that the year promises a "decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning briefcase of enthusiasm, thinning hair" (139). Although this may be a rather bleak estimation, it represents how Nick is actually thinking of the future, which is something Gatsby can never do. In fact, at the hotel, Gatsby tells Tom that Daisy never loved him. Even as Tom rejects this notion and Daisy admits that she loved Tom as well as Gatsby, Gatsby returns home, thinking she will call him."

Abstract
This paper explores the theme of social class by analyzing the neighborhoods in "The Great Gatsby". The paper highlights how the geographic separation of Gatsby's home in the East Egg and Daisy's West Egg residence symbolizes the factors dividing these two lovers, ultimately dooming their relationship. The paper clearly demonstrates how Fitzgerald's novel is a criticism of the social distinctions that persisted in the United States following World War I, where even incredibly wealthy individuals such as Gatsby were unable to move up the social ladder.

From the Paper
"In the beginning pages of the novel, the narrator Nick describes the two neighborhoods that are called the West and East Egg. West Egg was the "less fashionable of the two" (Fitzgerald 8). It is the home of both Nick and Gatsby and the very great difference in home styles between these two characters demonstrates the range of wealth enjoyed by the members of the middle class. Gatsby's home is describe as a mansion, a "colossal affair by any standard" while Nick's home is a "small eye sore" but both are located within East Egg. Gatsby's home is spectacular in comparison to Nick's humble lodging, which he rents for a modest sum. Gatsby's home would be much of the focus of the novel as the Gatsby hosts lavish parties within his dwelling that are very popular.
"But while Gatsby's home is only a mansion, the homes of the "fashionable East Egg" are "white palaces" and house characters such as Daisy and Tom Buchanan. The narrator's extensive description of Daisy and Tom's home is even more detailed than that of Gatsby's home. His words help the reader to visualize the opulent surroundings that distinguish the upper class from the only moderately wealthy."

Abstract
The writer explains that in this experiment, lysozyme was purified from egg white solution into 24 fractions using gel column chromatography. The writer points out that the odd-numbered fractions were then assayed in order to determine the enzymatic activity of lysozyme, while the even-numbered fractions were assayed for total protein content, using the Bradford protein assay procedure. The writer notes that lysozyme is one of the most well-known enzymes, being abundant in mucus, tears, and albumen (commonly known as egg white).
The writer concludes that the purification of lysozyme from egg white was only somewhat successful since the estimated value of the molecular weight, 14.25 kDa, is practically the same as the known weight of 14.3 kDa. However, the specific activity, calculated at 400 units/mg, was significantly less than the expected specific activity of 25 000 units/mg of protein.

From the Paper
"Lysozyme is itself composed of 129 amino acids, including four disulfide bridges and three sets of alpha helices. The enzyme's active site consists of a long groove that can hold as many as six polysaccharides. According to past experiments, specific activity of lysozyme from egg white is approximately 25 000 units/mg. This is the expected result for this experiment. However, one factor that influences the specific activity is the actual column and type of chromatography being used, since accuracy differs among the different types of chromatographies. Therefore, some are able to purify enzymes better than others, giving a more accurate specific activity. In addition to obtaining the specific activity, molecular weight of the enzyme can be determined by comparing the fraction in which most of the enzyme eluted with the fractionation range."
