I-14: Assisted Reproduction and Religion What Consideration Should Be and Should Not Be Relevant,
Several important issues are pertinent to an ethical discussion of the new technology today grouped under the name Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART). This is a moral imperative because each of us must decide what is to be considered ethically acceptable in assisted reproduction. Reflecting on the ethical dimension of ‘creating’ a new human life can play a major role in ensuring that in eac...
متن کاملSmaller cars : Not to be feared
Some people consider that small cars necessarily have low secondary safety, i.e., a relatively high probability of serious injury to their occupants. In collisions with other vehicles, this is true, as there is a strong effect of mass ratio. Beyond that, this paper will argue there is probably little or no further effect. Three lines of evidence are presented to support this. • Theoretical anal...
متن کاملLow-dose radiation exposure and carcinogenesis.
Absorption of energy from ionizing radiation by the genetic material in the cell leads to damage to DNA, which in turn leads to cell death, chromosome aberrations and gene mutations. While early or deterministic effects result from organ and tissue damage caused by cell killing, latter two are considered to be involved in the initial events that lead to the development of cancer. Epidemiologica...
متن کاملAdaption By Low Dose Radiation Exposure
h The procedures and dose limitations used for radiation protection in the nuclear industry are founded on the assumption that risk is directly proportional to dose, without a threshold. Based on this idea that any dose, no matter how small, will increase risk, radiation protection regulations generally attempt to reduce any exposure to “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA). We know however...
متن کاملMRS Shimming: An Important Point Which Should not be Ignored
Introduction: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a well-known device for analyzing the biological fluids metabolically. Obtaining accurate and reliable information via MRS needs a homogeneous magnetic field in order to provide well-defined peaks and uniform water suppression. There are lots of reasons which can disturb the magnetic field homogeneity which can be corrected by a proc...
