... is lengthy, has a lot of professional terminology and is dotted with footnotes. AIDS FACTS "The fatal weakening of the immune system which has given AIDS its name (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome)," write the Segals, "has been traced back to a destruction or a functional failure of the T4-lymphocytes, also called 'helper cells`, which play a regulatory role in the production of antibodies in the immune system." In the course of the illness, the number of functional T4-cells is reduced greatly so that new anti-bodies cannot be produced and the defenceless patient remains exposed to a range of infections tha ...

... who advertise using the pressure of popularity, looks and sex to force us to buy their product that, as it turns out, we never wanted or needed in the first place. Our lives are filled with stress. One of the greatest sources of pressure is school. Where we are herded like cattle from room to room, chewing on our cud, while the hay of knowledge is force fed to us as we are trying our hardest to gulp it down as more and more is shovelled in. Another great source of pressure is ourselves. We try our hardest to be accepted among a certain group or circle. Whereas most of the time we are rejected and we become dep ...

... women. People must stop denying the facts about the procedure, and start hearing the silent screams of unborn children. The argument by the pro-abortion side is that the unborn child is not truly a child. Many people who are pro-abortion justify their beliefs through the concept that a fetus is only a blob of tissue until it is born, or the statement: life begins at birth. Abortion is not as simple as removing a "blob of tissue" (as the pro-abortion activists put it) from a woman's body. Abortion is the destruction, dismembering and killing of a human life--an unborn baby. "But it is scientific and medical fact ...

... hormones, health, and strength of the immune system. They support their hypothesis of symmetry's affect on the abundance of sexual hormones with various scientific evidence. Two psychologists, Steven Gangestead and Randy Thornhill measured the symmetry of hundreds of men and women in college. They also asked them to complete a personal confidential survey that gave information on their health and sex lives. What they found was that the men and women with better symmetry had started having sex 3-4 years before the people with average symmetry. Gangestead and Thornhill also completed another survey involving wom ...

... life : patients who would in the past have died from natural causes can now be sustained almost indefinitely as a result of the intervention of artificial life support equipment or other medical or surgical procedures. While this has generally been a desirable development , it has also had some negative consequences in that, in some instances, the dying process is unnecessarily prolonged. There are two main arguments against that severe pain can and that if some form of killing by doctors, or others were made legal, it might easily be abused and people might be put to death for reasons unconnected with mercy ...

... withdrawal symptoms, penalties of use, and psychiatric health influence this process. It is the influence of each of these biological and psychological factors that creates, maintains, and subsequently sustains addiction. The availability of the drugs play the most prominent role in the addiction process. Simply stated, if drugs and/or alcohol did not exist there couldn’t conceivably be a drug addiction. Nevertheless, drugs and alcohol do exist, so it isn’t their existence that effects the addiction, but how readily available to the addict each substance is. The Vietnam Veterans, who used heroin durin ...

... ducts are dominant and Mullerian ducts are regressive. Whereas in women it is just the opposite. Jost believed that the fetal testis secret a hormone which causes such a differentiation. In order to confirm this belief, he removed the gonads from embryos, prior to the onset of phenotypic differentiation. All resulted in female phenotypes. The male phenotype is induced and will not manifest if the proper secretions are not made from the testis. Although the article fails to mention how, "Jost deduced that two secretions from the fetal testis are essential for male development - Mullerian-inhibiting substance ...

... is not much to life. Out of the 5 billion who inhabit the planet, very few of them shall emerge to be true world leaders. The rest will just lead a mediocre life of work and little play. The taking of ones life can be argued from a populistic view as well. It makes little sense to preserve life in an over populated world. True, one less person here on there will not make a large dent. Yet if everyone who attempts or had attempted suicide were not stopped, the impact would be noticed. Another popular argument for stoppers, people who want to prevent suicide, is that nothing can be bad enough. Yet ho ...

... did not work for humans. Again in the mid 1980's scientist got their hopes up and again were let down. They took islets and made a small incision near the navel and fed the islets through a tube into a vein that leads to the portal vein. Once the islets were lodged in the smaller vessels they had direct contact with blood. The results were had the scientist encouraged. Their patients were given 400 thousand islets, but they did not produce enough insulin to enable the patients to stop taking injections. In 1990, 145 patients had received islet transplants. In most patients the islets had not been able to c ...

... often refereed to as a life threatening disease, is caused by a virus, which was not discovered until the nineteenth century. Most of the victims whom acquired small pox, was a result of face to face contact. It is passed through the nose where tiny particles are released when the infected person sneezes, also by the mouth where particles are once again ejected when the victim coughs. The disease can be transmitted by dried small pox scabs and through materials the infected person has come in contact with. The virus is reproduced in the lymphoid tissue and released into the body. Virus reproduction begins when th ...
