I know what you mean by not knowing what to think about it. I am still in limbo with coming to a conclusion about what is being said in the video, but I absolutely do not believe that the lady above in the first video is working with the government to spread a disease. She may have came up with bullet proof skin, and the patent could had been looked at to understand the process of modifying DNA in a silk worm to make human skin interact with it, and the idea could have evolved into something else.…

In our bodies we need energy so that we could do things that are possible such as; move our muscles, talk and all the other things that we do. Without energy all people would be useless not being able to do anything. Energy is needed to extract the oxygen from the areas in our bodies and diffuse it into our bloodstream. As warm blooded people we can only digest food and function if our bodies are at a certain temperature and have enough energy, and energy is required for this. We need energy to be able to move and use our muscles which also only operate when they are warm. Energy is the ability to do work in our bodies. That means doing everything that a body needs to do to stay alive and to grow: pumping ions across membranes, making new proteins, making new lipids, making hormones, making new cells, neural function, contracting muscles, replacing damaged components, absorbing nutrients, excreting wastes and pumping blood.…
This final paper will discuss the ongoing debate of genetic/prenatal testing. Procedures for genetic/prenatal testing have been available since the early 1970's (Press, 2008, pp. 73-78). Genetic testing identifies abnormalities or changes in the chromosomes and genes. This type of testing is used to confirm or deny a suspected genetic condition or used to predict a person's chances of developing or passing on a certain disorder (Grant, 2000). Once the woman wants to go ahead with the genetic testing, a primary care doctor or genetic specialist places an order for the test. Genetic testing is often done as part of a genetic consultation (Press, 2008, pp. 73-78). It is very important that the patient knows every aspect of the procedure including…
On the topic of skeletal diseases, I have no prior knowledge. I am aware that a skeletal disease is a medical condition that affects the bones, but that is the extent of my knowledge. While completing research for this paper, I would like to become educated of all the skeletal diseases that exist, and their harmful effects to the body. I would like to gain knowledge of the deficiencies of the bones that these diseases create. The skeletal system is a huge part of our everyday lives; therefore I would like to learn about the tolls these diseases take on patients, and their everyday lives. Without the bones in the skeletal system, there would be no movement or structure to our bodies.…
