Gas prices are starting to drop. This is having an affect on the stocks and bonds of oil and gas companies. A drop in gas prices will lead to a drop in stocks and bonds and as a result stock holders will end up losing some money. This is how our economy works if one thing happens to a certain product or company then other products, companies, or people will either benefit or suffer a loss as a result.
Question: Why did gas prices rise in the first place?
Question: Why are they starting to go down all of a sudden?
Several different animals have been successfully cloned by scientists over these past few years. Animal cloning is still a rather new technology that has not been completely mastered yet. Some of the animals that have been successfully cloned are sheep, mice and cows. Today it is actually now possible to get your pets cloned if they were to die or something. The next big step in the cloning world would be to clone actual humans.
Question: Should cloning of humans be an allowed practice in the near future?
Question: Should the cloning of animals and pets let alone humans be an enabled practice for scientists?
Article: Canadian bio ethicist asks, why have children? http://www.bioedge.org/index.php/bioethics/bioethics_article/10020
Summary: This article is about if having children is really necessary. Rebecca Bennett of University of Manchester and Matti Hayry believes that having children is morally wrong. Christine Overall, who actually wrote a book called "Why Have Children" believes that females are getting pregnant for the wrong reasons. She believes that women are having children so that they can take care of them in their old age, which they believe is immoral. She doesn't believe that women should completely give up on having children but believe they should think about it before really considering to have children
Question:Do you think that having children is considered morally wrong? Do you think that married couples and or single mothers should have children for the wrong reasons?
Having children, in general, is not morally wrong. Couples who have children, or even single mothers who raise a child on their own, do so with love. In a many unfortunate cases, women who are not ready to have a child or should not have a child do become pregnant; but that child can never be immoral. Clearly, there are people out there that are unfit for parenthood and they know it. If two such people are careless about their choices and have a baby unexpectedly then the situation becomes a little immoral. They should have thought ahead for the baby's sake and made their choice based on what is best for the possible child. However, men and women having children is not immoral. Wanting to care for and love another being for whom you are responsible is pure and a true gift in life; parenthood truly is a gift.
In a New York Times article, Ross Douthat writes about selective reduction by which “twin pregnancies are reduced to single babies via abortion”. Dr. Mark Evans was one of the first to reduce pregnancies and at first, he believed in keeping the practice very restrained. Only in a few certain cases could a pregnancy be reduced; he urged other doctors of his practice to “resist becoming technicians to our patients’ desires”. By 2004, however, he had changed his position and began endorsing twin reductions, forgetting the moral implications on the practice he felt before. Douthat continues to relate Dr. Evans’ case to that of the liberal columnist Ellen Goodman. Goodman believed that people should keep an eye on the IVF clinic and “neither fund nor prohibit it”. She believed they should debate and control it to ensure that moral practices were intact. However, Goodman, like Dr. Evans, eventually began to “adapt herself to exactly the kind of development that she once suggested should be resisted”.
What technology or practices are generally accepted as moral today but were first treated with great caution and deemed to be riding dangerously between the lines of morality and immorality? What today that we deem immoral will soon become ethically acceptable?
