shape". There are many 7nm spikes which are 10nm apart from each other visible
on the surface of the virus. The average length and diameter of the virus is
920nm and 80nm. The virons are highly variable in length (polymorphic), some

Essay On Human Sexual History
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1091.... is liable to reach a perverse and oppressive state.
I hope I am correct in saying that around the time of the seventeenth century, the society/state began to liberate itself from the church. Even still, sexual liberty was small, and a “non-ethical” (meaning non- conservative) discourse on sex was prohibited. This type of regard to sex was also true in the eighteenth century. By the nineteenth century, sexual propaganda was created and fed to the masses.
One memorable time period that transformed society’s views on sex, was the feminist movement in the 60’s and 70’s. .....

AIDS - What's New ?
Number of pages: 13 | Number of words: 3362.... of widespread epidemics,
such as the 1917/18 influenza pandemic which killed over 21 million people,
including 50,000 Canadians. Having been lulled into false security by
modern antibiotics and vaccines about our ability to conquer infections,
the Western world was ill prepared to cope with the advent of AIDS in 1981.
(Retro- spective studies now put the first reported U.S. case of AIDS as
far back as 1968.) The arrival of a new and lethal virus caught us off
guard. Research suggests that the agent responsible for AIDS probably
dates from the 1950s, with a chance infection of .....

Abortion: Murder Of An Innocent Human Being
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 338.... cruel and painful, regardless of the organism it is being performed on. This torture needs to be stopped now.
Being irresponsible and not using protection when having sex is not a good excuse to kill an innocent baby. Before having sex, the couple needs to think about the consequences and what to do if something happens, kill an innocent child or have the baby, and put it up for an adoption. Taking the life of another human being is murder, and this is an act of murder.
One of The Ten Commandments is “ thou shall not kill”. Having an abortion is against God and the .....

The Ambivalence Of Abortion
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 434.... SOME PEOPLE don't believe in abortion? On the other
hand, it may be true that young women are taking advantage of the fact that they
can easily have an abortion. Some say they are substituting birth control with
abortion. Nevertheless, no one ever said we can't place restrictions on
abortion but we can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch. The fact remains
that although some might take advantage of the situation, it is unconstitutional
to deny the opportunity to someone who REALLY has no other alternative but
abortion. Every woman (and person) has the right to ma .....

Assisted Suicide
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1052.... reasons, encourage them to seek . All kinds of people in difficult situations could be at risk of being intimidated or forced into feeling their early death would be a convenience to society. Section 241 is doubly flawed. It is not an especially effective drawback against those who seek to prey on the vulnerable, but at the same time it forces persons enduring intolerable suffering to exist in that state against their own wishes, thus denying them their right of self-determination as citizens in a free democracy. Competent, rational human beings must have the right to dete .....

Is Ritalin Over Prescribed?
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1676.... between cocaine and Ritalin is that cocaine leaves the receptor site quicker than Ritalin, possibly making it more addictive (Snyderman 1). Ritalin is not a drug that is typically sold on the street like cocaine or marijuana. It is a drug that doctors prescribe to help children and adults with hyperactivity and attention problems. But are these trained professionals over prescribing it? The road a child has to take to get on Ritalin is very long and often very hard. A child has to be observed by a teacher or parent, get a medical exam, and be observed by many specialis .....
