Assumptions And Principles Underlying Standards For Care Of The Terminally Ill
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1137.... the symptoms resulting from the relentless progress of an
incurable illness. There must be openness, interchange, and overlap between the
two systems so that the patient receives continuous appropriate care. The
patient should not be subjected to aggressive treatment that offers no hope of
being effective in curing or controlling the disease and may only cause further
distress. Obviously, the clinician must be on the alert for any shifts that may
occur in the course of a terminal illness, which make the patient again a
candidate for active treatment.
Patients suffer not only .....

The Ethics Of Somatic Cell Cloning
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1088.... cloning has many potential benefits:
1. Somatic cell cloning provides a way for completely sterile individuals, (those not capable of reproducing) to reproduce.

"reverse genetics" was applied. Scientists accomplished this by linking the
disease to a specific chromosome. After this linkage, they isolated the
gene of interest on the chromosome and then tested its product.
Before the disease could be linked to a specific chromosome, a
marker needed to be found that would always travel wit .....
