The "Universality" of the Genetic Code: Two Explanations
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page overview of the two primary theories concerning the creation of life. These theories are the Big Bang theory and the Creationist theory. While significant effort has been expended demonstrating the validity of the Big Bang theory, there always remains the exceptions in the so-called universal genetic code that are not explained. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

The Advantages Of Bioengineering
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Despite the throngs of critics who oppose the use of bioengineering in current endeavors, this scientific strategy has only begun to open doors that have otherwise never before been accessible. There are myriad possibilities for people's lives to become enhanced in ways that have not ever existed; researchers have only just applied the very tip of what technological mastery they have uncovered. The writer discusses how rapid advances in bioengineering not only represent humanity's ongoing quest for a more pleasurable existence, but also how it symbolizes the ability to provide where nature leaves off. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Benefits of Genetic Engineering
[ send me this paper ]
(8pp) Have you ever wondered how we as humans have
managed to make any progress at all? With any
major development there are nay-sayers, or those
who know that latest invention will not only
derail the future of the world, but also the
children of that future. Fear is a major propaganda
tool. And we must remember to get the information
before we make a decision on any debatable
technological advancement: genetic engineering
within the area of biotechnology is definitely one
of those fields, and provides the basis for this
discussion. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

The Burgess Shale Fauna/Dinosaur to Bird Fossil Record: Parallels and Contrasts
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page comparison of the simplicity of the animal species preserved in the Burgess Shale Deposit and the complex evolutionary path recorded in the fossil record for modern-day birds. Discusses the controversy and debate surrounding the question of the speculated origin of birds from dinosaurs. Discusses the current findings in the field and the need for additional research. Paper concludes that not only is there no current connection between the Burgess Shale deposit and the evolutionary path of our modern birds, the theories that connect modern day birds to dinosaurs will undoubtedly continue to be challenged in the future. Emphasizes that research is ongoing, however, and that the probability of identifying a clear and irrefutable association between the dinosaurs and the modern birds is more probable than improbable. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
