.... is extremely difficult to judge the exact extent of AIDS in Africa, either geographically or in the population” so rather than focusing on Western Africa alone, it is most feasible to acknowledge modes of transmission across the African continent as a whole (Bethel, 138). Also, “we can assert that AIDS cases do not occur on the African continent in a uniform fashion but rather form an “AIDS Belt” in central, southern, and eastern Africa” (Bethel, 138). First, by mentioning the fact that the Third World contains three fourths of the Earth’s population, and combining that fact with that of those worlds having an overall lesser knowledge upon transmission, .....

.... fact that Samkha is atheistic, while there is an acknowledged deity in yoga. Both religions deal with a quest to reach intellectual enlightenment. The word yoga is derived from the Sanskirt word yuj, which means to bind together or unite (Eliade 519). The God in yoga, known as Ishvara, does not resemble the god known to Christians, Jews, or Muslims. The god is not a creator of the world or of mankind. He does not sit in judgment of mankind, nor does he punish them for their sins. Rather the god of yoga is "a special person untouched by misery, desire, or action and its results... He is the teacher of the ancient teachers" (Nikhilananda 680). The goal o .....

.... cured of the disease they have. According to many medical physicians the expression "terminally ill" means being in the final stages of a disease that is incurable (Hentoff, p.10). If a person has a despairing disease such as AIDS, that person may not want to live the rest of their short life with all the pain and frustration. Next, the terminally ill might injure their body even more by taking up the decision in their own hands. Offering help in assisted suicides to the fatally ill would prevent anything like this from happening. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals created a law that prohibited physicians from helping their patients die (Lemonick .....

.... this by pointing out that vaccination problems far outweigh those of going unvaccinated (1). Therefore, there are many questions concerning the safety and effectiveness of vaccines as opposed to those of going unvaccinated. Vaccines can cause complications that are more harmful than those of going unvaccinated or even the disease itself. Professor of epidemiology at the university of Washington, Dr Russell Alexander, points out that the panel set up to determine the risks of vaccination did not compare it to those of being unvaccinated (qtd in Miller 9). This means that the research done by the panel, which proved vaccination risks to be 'too small .....

.... Now if you have an absent on the von Willebrand factor, the ability to localize and concentrate the hemostatic process is at the specific location of the site of the injury is impaired. (See figure.1) is probably the most common hereditary bleeding disorder and may occur in up to one percent of the population (sixty-two million people worldwide). Patients with von Willebrand disease have either have stopped the production of von Willebrand factor or they produce a molecule that does not function normally, which cause their platelets do not adhere properly when blood vessels are injured, therefor it takes longer for a blood clot to form. In some patients, the .....

.... Sciences). The myocyte came from a left ventricle, the most powerful chamber of the heart and the one most afflicted by heart attacks. Scientist and researchers had to use a powerful optical microscope to look for dividing cells in tissue damaged by heart attacks. They detected cell nuclei that were splitting. Other scientists searching for dividing had not tried that technique. The finding strengthens the possibility that scientists can develop medical treatments to enhance cell division and restore healthy heart muscle. It is too soon, however, to know to what extent such treatments might repair damaged hearts, such as those suffering congenital heart di .....

.... students nation wide. Of these students, twenty percent admit to being frequent binge-drinkers. This same report further shows that one-third of college students who binge-drink have a prior drinking problem, usually beginning in high school. In an article in the September 13, 1999 issue of Time magazine, Amy Dickinson interviewed a group of eighteen students attending a liberal arts college near her home. Of the group of eighteen, five of them had previously been hospitalized for alcohol overdoses, and two had been treated by paramedics on campus for overdoses as well. The author commented that the mind-set of the students was not to “get drunk and silly” .....
