Are there any circumstances in which you would allow yourself to be cloned?

Negotiating is a skill that all of us need, but few of us have. Perhaps it’s the fear of stepping out of our comfort zones, or simply the fear of rejection. It’s not in most people’s human nature to be confrontational or simply just asking for what they want. A negotiation is nothing more than settling differences. It’s simply the process of reaching an agreement while avoiding a dispute. Very rarely, people will agree on everything. In fact, the opposite may be true: we agree on nothing. Therefore, we need some sort of way to ...

Thesis Statement: The story of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a story about the desire to use of modern industrial techno-science to create a new discovery may result to more harm than good. Just like the ancient Greek Prometheus, Shelley’s novel represents a modern industrial techno-science to create the character of Frankenstein. Compared to the story of Greek Prometheus, it sought to free his people by separating mortals from immortals, only to be reunited again in a festive, religious ritual (Jager 1). By contrast, Shelley’s novel explained that the combination of modern human science and scientific psychology ...

Falling in love can be just as powerful as sniffing a line of cocaine. In fact, studies have shown that the effect cocaine has on the brain sometimes provokes similar chemical reactions as those caused by the feeling of being in love. However, despite love sometimes being classified as a natural stimulant, it could also be harmful to human health in certain situations. And given such similarities, the neural enhancement of both these stimulants should be taken both cautiously and seriously. In the scientific and common literature, love is almost always regarded as being a benefit to a person's ...

The following analysis of Persona and Solaris reveals how movies from unlike countries and of different genres portray the development of opposite human personalities while losing or gaining humanity under the external influences and internal self-recognition. The attempts to create a fine movie about internal and external of human life do not often impress much, especially nowadays when we experience an endless flow of visual images. Probably, it inspires people to look back at the classic works that not only represent the unusual transformations in the forms of self but also produce extraordinary rhythms in the scenes (Tarkovsky 113). ...
