CASE STUDY (20 Marks)
Jill has always had trouble focusing.
In middle school and high school, she has struggled to maintain her attention
on class, homework, and other academic responsibilities. If not for her own
determination and the encouragement of her parents, she probably would have
never gone to college as she does now. However, with midterms just around the
corner, her inattentive tendencies are flaring worse than ever. And with poor
grades after her first semester, she needs to do well on these tests to keep
her GPA above her scholarship’s cutoff. Fortunately, a friend of hers, one
familiar with Jill’s problems, has a prescription for Adder all and offers some
to Jill so she can concentrate better during finals. Jill only plans to take
the pills this one time considering summer is so near. She doesn’t think she’s
getting an advantage because her peers can already focus better than she can.
She really needs higher grades this semester to keep her scholarship.
Answer
the following question.
Q1.
Is it right using stimulants without a prescription? Comment.
Q2.
Give your views on the case.
CASE STUDY (20 Marks)
Scientists have created Britain’s first
‘virgin conception’ embryos using a technique that could yield a new source of
stem cells, sparking a new ethical row. They were made without using sperm or
any outside genetic material – making the clones of the women who donated the
eggs involved. The news, from the centre that cloned Dolly the sheep, came just
a day after Newcastle scientists who won the go a head to create a human embryo
with two genetic mothers. It raises the concern that the same technique could
be
used to produce a cloned baby. The team
took eggs donated by women undergoing sterilization and stimulated them to
start dividing, as if they had been fertilized. Some grew into embryos created
without any addition of new genetic material, either from male sperm or a clone
donor. Each embryo only contained about 50 cells which could never be used to
make a baby. But scientists hope that in future, embryos made by the process –
known as parthenogenesis – may be minded for valuable stem cells. Those taken
from early embryos have the potential to become any part of the body, from
bones to brains. Scientists hope in future they will form the basis of revolutionary
new treatments for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and
failing hearts. Dr.Paul de Sousa, who is leading the research, told the BA
Festival of Science at Trinity College, Dublin: “At the moment, we have not
managed to get stem cells from these embryos, and that continues to be our
ambition.” He said the embryos would never be implanted into anyone’s womb. “We
have consent for research purpose only.” Parthenogenesis has been suggested as
a more ethically acceptable way of harvesting embryonic stem cells.
