The Ethics Of The Genetics Revolution : A 4 page
essay on
the ethical considerations involved in applying genetic research.
The writer details the idealistic and pragmatic considerations in
treatment of genetic diseases, the testing for such diseases, and
the potentially evil uses which can be made of the technology.

Eugenics and Disability -- Will History Repeat Itself ? :
An 8 page paper on the controversy surrounding the genetic
implications of the Human Genome Project. It discusses
whether the ability to identify disabling conditions from DNA
will ultimately hurt the disabled community by ushering in a
new era of eugenics. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Eugenic.wps
Genetic Drift / Quick Change, Quicker Reversal : A
10 page
paper that argues in support of science's use of genetic drift over
natural selection to make quicker shifts in genetically drifted
and naturally selected traits. The paper works from the
viewpoint that genetic drift often leads to dominant gene traits
and, therefore, extinction, whereas natural selection leads to
environmental control by nature and seeks to provide examples
throughout history where genetic drift has also resulted in a
quicker change that natural selection. Bibliography lists 8
sources. Genetic.DOC
Gene Therapy : This 7 page paper explores gene
therapy and
its uses in combating terminal and genetic diseases.
Bibliography included. Genti.wps
Genetic Mapping : A 5 page overview of the history
of
genetic mapping, its history and applications. Includes an
explanation of the Human Genome Project. Bibliography lists
four sources. Genemap.wps
Is Endometriosis Related To Genetics ? : Endometriosis
is a
common problem among women during their reproductive
years. In this 3 page paper, the writer discusses the general
characteristics of Endometriosis, its occurrence, symptoms, and
relevant statistics. The writer looks at the difficulty medical
practitioners face in teaching women how to prevent a condition
of this nature and the possibility of there being some genetic
foundation for it. Bibliography lists 4 sources. Endometr.wps
Is Homosexuality in the Genes ? : A 12 page paper
in which
the writer explores homosexuality from a biopyschosocial
perspective. Explored are the definitive roots of homosexuality,
changing psychiatric opinions over time, and most
importantly,-- recent breakthroughs which suggest that people's
sexuality may be the result of their genetic predisposition.
Numerous examples and statistical data are provided.
Bibliography lists 8+ sources. Homogene.wps
Homosexuality Is NOT Genetic / Argument : A 6 page
argumentative paper supporting the theory that recent genetic
findings cannot displace years of documented support for the
behavioral determinants of sexual identification. The writer
contends that the many discrepancies in the findings of Hamer
and his colleagues leads scientists, sociologists and
psychologists to continue to support the concept that
homosexuality is determined through behavioral choices, not
through genes. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Homosexu.wps
Genetics / Violence : A 7 page argumentative paper
proving
that violence is hereditary and unless stopped could lead to the
demise of the human race. The writer relies on the original
thesis and research of Darwin and Mendell, and bases
arguments on the genetic discoveries of Han Brunner, et al. and
subsequent modern-day researchers who proved how genes are
mutated, have traced the regeneration of mutated genes, and
have created violent species in laboratories based on the
regeneration of mutated genes. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
