    Vaccines have nearly eradicated many horrible diseases in countries where vaccines are mandatory. Infact, most anti-vaccination research is based on pseudo-science, unreliable resources, and ignorance. Jeremy Wakefield had his medical license revoked because of his ridiculous claims. People with immune system disorders cannot be protected by herd immunity when healthy people do not get vaccinated. Many individuals are ignoring the past 150 years of medical science. Ignorance, pseudo-science, and unreliable resources do not qualify as a reason to argue reputable science and research and not vaccinate yourself or your children.…

    During the years 1932 through 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) used 399 African American men, for lack of a better term, as lab rats.

A doctor, one of whom had no intentions on curing these men of syphilis, indicated that him as well as his colleges, had no interest in the patients until they were dead.…

    Research paper Every day of our lives we have our minds filled by the media, but is it always truth that we are being filled with? We have diseases (HIV/AIDS), our planets fossil fuel consumption issue , and especially drugs, in this case we have marijuana and how it causes behind the wheel, work related deaths and mostly you hear about how it negatively affects your lungs. But have you ever disregarded the media and done some research of your own? Turns out this so called drug marijuana might not actually be as negative as people think but could very well have the potential to pull this country out of its recession. I was digging into a little research and discovered some statements/facts that just might make you think twice about not utilizing this plants potential. Example, this plant can be used for medicinal purposes. When this plant is smoked it affects your body in a way called “ the munchies,” were it enables the patient to eat larger amounts of food helping the patient gain weight which they were losing due to the diseases (HIV/AIDS) the patient might be fighting. Now most hospitals will not tell you this unless you are in one of those few states that actually wised up and legalized it. Another interesting fact is that when smoked provides same affects as certain prescription drugs but less possible harm to your body. Now this is when it really gets interesting.

    According to evolutionary theory, the fundamental goal for creature is the reproduction of its species. Sexual activity is the only natural way to reproduce next generations in all animal and also human. Different from wild animal, we are protected by an educated and law restricted society, in which we should behave morally and legally correct. Then, how to define the proper sexual activity, because of its relation to family and the life of everybody, is critical to our society. In old times, people established plenty of rules to educate young people what was the proper sexual activity. At mean time, to prevent people having morally incorrect sex activities, people also established some rumors such as masturbation would lead to severe disease and punishment. In this way, everyone’s sexuality is restricted to be the same and people are shamed about talk about sexuality. However, things have changed after Alfred Kinsey, whose story has come to public as a movie Kinsey.…
