Background research Artificial limbs (arms and legs) or the prostheses are intended to perform the degree of the normal function to the amputees. The mechanical devices enable the amputees to walk or to continue using the hand(s) as normal. According to research, artificial limbs date back in 600 BC when armorers created the first prostheses using cumbersome and inflexible iron. Artificial hands intricate imitations of the real hands. Amputees themselves started making their limps after losing such parts. Research shows some amputees lost arms and legs during civil wars and accidents. Indeed, the twentieth century has seen ...

Secrets of the Mind by V.S. Ramachandran Secrets of the Mind with V.S. Ramachandran The secret functions carried out by our brain first came into the attention of Dr. Ramachandran while examining the case of an amputee, Derek Steen, who lost his right arm above the elbow in a car accident. His condition garnered a curiosity in Ramachandran when he (Derek) reported that he had felt tingling and stroking sensations in his right arm (that was removed surgically) while shaving the left side of his face. This opened an opportunity for Dr. Ramachandran to study phantom limbs in detail. ...

Introduction

One of the toughest and not resolved legal and ethical issues in the field of patent law is thought to be the establishment of ‘the optimal means of distribution among biomedical researchers and their research participants of any rights in commercial products and revenues derived from human tissue’ (Gitter p.261). In consists in the fact whether a patient is granted a property right to a cell-line, particularly tissue, extracted from his body. Tissue itself is defined as ‘a collection of cells of similar structure organized to carry out one or more particular functions’ (Gitter p. ...

Phantom Limb Syndromes

Introduction Most people who have had amputation would have experienced a phantom limb; it is a sensation that the limb is actually present, and in some cases there is a feeling of pain. There is a lot of empirical evidence to suggest changes in cortical topography following amputation. “With the advent of non-invasive imaging techniques such as MEG (magneto encephalogram) and functional MRI, topographical reorganization can also be demonstrated in humans, so that it is now possible to track perceptual changes and changes in cortical topography, in individual patients.” A feature of the human brain is the multiplicity of specialized areas, ...

Summary

A salamander’s limbs are smaller and slimier than those of people but they are not different from those of human. Its limbs are unique in the world of vertebrates because they can regrow from a stump after an amputation. This ability has been a wonder for the humans since no scar is formed on the skin where the stump as it would in humans. The human body’s healing mechanism is not very different from that of the salamander but the amphibian shows a unique divergent healing strategies. When the salamander limb is amputated, the blood vessels contract immediately limiting bleeding ...

1. Aquinas claims that he has five arguments that God exists. Do you think that he really has five different arguments? The first argument has to do with motion and movers, and the second argument has to do with cause and effect. Are they distinct arguments or just variations of the same argument?

There are examples of cause and effect that do not involve motion, so they are distinct.

2. Assume that Aquinas is right and there must be a prime mover or a first cause. Why must this first cause be God? That is, God is traditionally defined as a being that is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnivenevolent. Does Aquinas provide any reasons for thinking that the prime ...
