Answer: Stem cell research can potentially help treat a range of medical problems. It could lead humanity closer to better treatment and possibly cure a number of diseases:

Parkinson’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease

Heart Diseases, Stroke and Diabetes (Type 1)

Birth Defects

Spinal Cord Injuries

Replace or Repair Damaged Organs

Reduced Risk of Transplantation (You could possibly get a copy of your own heart in a heart-transplantation in the future

Stem cells may play a major role in cancer

Better treatment of these diseases could also give significant social benefits for individuals and economic gains for society

Cons

"We should not mess with human life."

"Humans should not be trying to play God"

Some argue that stem cell research in the far future can lead to knowledge on how to clone humans. It is hard to say whether this is true, but we have seen devastating consequences of other research-programs, even with good intentions, such as nuclear research.

Vinvika [58]

The mother may feel guilty about her child's condition because she may think that the child had that disease genetically from one or both of his or her parents. The mother may exhibit signs of self-blaming because she feels like it is her fault that her child is suffering from the disease. The healthcare practitioner should approach the mother in a biopsychosocial approach wherein the mother is allowed to vent out (catharsis), then the healthcare practitioner should make things clearer (educate), and then have the appropriate action given.

Explanation:

the answer above is given by; 24 kcal/4000 kcal x 100

Caterpillars are the larval stage of members of the order Lepidoptera. As with most common names, the application of the word is arbitrary, since the larvae of sawflies are commonly called caterpillars as well. Both lepidopteran and symphytan larvae have eruciform body shapes.

Hawks are a group of medium-sized diurnal birds of prey of the family Accipitridae. Hawks are widely distributed and vary greatly in size. The subfamily Accipitrinae includes goshawks, sparrowhawks, sharp-shinned hawks and others. This subfamily are mainly woodland birds with long tails and high visual acuity.

Which of the following is a change from a more condensed to a less condensed state of matter?

777dan777 [17]

By the term "condensed", this refers to the density of a state of matter. As a rule of thumb, solids are the most dense because their molecules are very close together. Next is liquids because they flow compared to solids. The least dense are gases. Therefore, a change from a more condensed state to a less condensed state is boiling (liquid to gas).

lakkis [162]

Answer:

550 milliliters of water is needed.

Explanation:

the student will need 550 milliliters of water for completing the whole experiment. 250 milliliters of water is needed for boiling purpose while on the other hand, 100 milliliters of water is needed for one process which can be repeated three times so the process needs 300 milliliters of water so by combining the 250 milliliters and 300 550 milliliters of water we get 550 milliliters of water for the whole experiment so we can say that the student needs 550 milliliters of water for the experiment.
