.... murder (Kolner 5). In the United States about 1.6 million pregnancies end in abortion. Women with incomes under eleven thousand are over three times more likely to abort than those with incomes above twenty-five thousand. Unmarried women are four to five times more likely to abort than married and the abortion rate has doubled for 18 and 19 year olds. Recently the U.S. rate dropped 6 percent overall but the rate of abortion among girls younger than 15 jumped 18 percent. The rate among minority teens climbed from 186 per 1,000 to 189 per 1,000. The most popular procedure involved in abortions is the vacuum aspiration which is done during the first trimester (three m ....

.... it is certain to develop. The disease may progress for 10 to 20 years until the patient dies. No treatment yet exists for this disease. However, in 1983 a U.S. research team announced the discovery of an identifiable segment of DNA that can be used as an indicator of the presence of the gene causing the disease. In March 1993, the journal Cell announced that the Huntington's Disease Collaborative Research Group had discovered the gene behind the disease. This was a major breakthrough in the effort to understand and eventually work toward a treatment of the disorder. Our group has decided to have the child. We have a steady income of $52,000 and are insured through our e ....

.... authority is not, during school or any other place kids congregate. Kids smoke because they want to feel like they 'fit in' and they want to rebel at the same time. "U.S. News discussed the smoking issue with twenty teenagers from suburban Baltimore. Half were boys, half girls, and all were between the ages of fifteen and seventeen. Over more than four hours of conversation, it became clear that most teens smoked for two seemingly contradictory reasons: They want to be part of a peer group, while rejecting society and its norms. They want to reach out and rebel at the same time."(Roberts 38) Tobacco companies spend four billion dollars each year in advertising and promotio ....

.... but intense sadness can still weaken the soul and become too hard to overcome. The inevitable takes place and the troubled teen ends his life. The next main cause of adolescent suicide is based on drug abuse. According to Johnston O’Malley, and Bachman, 1997 the percentage of high school senior drug use is currently at an incline. The earlier an adolescent starts to use drugs the more likely they are to progress into "the most severe forms of drug use". This elicit drug use alters the teenagers state of mind and eventually takes control of their life. With this in mind, imagine how confused and lost a young person may be if they are a drug user? Out of all teenage ....

.... after parturition, and for 1,200 to 2,200 death from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (7). Maternal smoking has been implicated in long term deficits in infant mental development and adverse behavioral problems in children such as attention disorder. Nicotine crosses the human placenta and has direct effects on the developing fetus. Pre-clinical studies suggest that maternal smoking during pregnancy produces changes on the offspring's neural functioning, including reductions in uptake of serotonin, alterations in dopaminergic systems, alterations in peripheral and central noradrenergic neurons, and changes in DNA and RNA synthesis in the brain (9). Children prenatally ....

.... muscles (e.g., the arms) from the central circulation of blood. The remaining lactic acid that is not directly oxidized for fuels is sent to the liver, where it is stored as glycogen. In the process of exercise, glycogen is released into the blood stream to form glucose. Lactate is Good As coach and athlete you must learn how to teach the body to handle lactic acid. It is imperative, if you want successes in today's highly competitive field of athletics to train your muscles, body and mind to accomplish gains in performance even in the presence of lactic acid. Coaches and athletes should design training programs with this being a primary focus. This is done by two b ....

.... pain? Hell yes! When the fetus is being killed, it is torture. In one method of abortion, the baby is quartered and piece by piece the body parts are sucked out through a suction tube. In another method, a saltwater solution is injected into the amniotic sac, and the baby is poisoned. These methods are extremely cruel and painful, regardless of the organism it is being performed on. This torture needs to be stopped now. Being irresponsible and not using protection when having sex is not a good excuse to kill an innocent baby. Before having sex, the couple needs to think about the consequences and what to do if something happens, kill an innocent child or have the baby, and ....

.... is actually by six different types of viral infections, namely, Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, and G. Hepatitis descries the destructive affect of the viral invasion of the body and liver by six and separate viruses. Each type of viral infection varies from one to another in degree of severity. The names of the viruses are in alphabetical order corresponding to their discovery. There is also a non-viral Hepatitis which is caused by substance. One rumor that has spread about hepatitis is that a person can only contract Hepatitis if associated with HIV or AIDS. This is not true! Any one can become infected with Hepatitis. Unfortunately this is about all most people know ....
