Brain Transplant
Number of words: 473 - Number of pages: 2.... so complex. Our brain makes us who
we are, and with a different brain we would no longer be unique. A person with
a different brain would seem to be a total stranger and in many ways they would
be. Hopefully these dangerous side effects will convince doctors not to perform
this procedure on humans.
The advancement of technology can be very beneficial to everyone, but I

anyone. We were all born with one brain and through childhood to adolescence
our mind developed into who we are. No one should steal our identity .....

Euthanasia
Number of words: 713 - Number of pages: 3.... is inhuman to have someone suffer through the
pain of his or her illness. Many of the families have a harder time dealing
with the pain than the actual victim does. The families would like to ease
their own pain along with the victim's pain. It is not inhuman to keep
someone alive as long as humanly possible. If a cure is found, then the
victim could possibly go on to live a long life. It would be inhuman to not

Abortion: Is It Murder?
Number of words: 249 - Number of pages: 1.... people approve of abortion
because they consider that a fetus is not an individual human until birth.
Abortion is wrong and it shouldn't be legal. If a doctor killed a baby
one minute after it were born, they would be charged with murder. But if they
were to kill a baby one minute before it were born, and a minute before that and
so on, they would not be considered a murderer. At what minute can one consider

but medical research proves that the fetus is a living organism. Peo .....
