ANYTHING BUT CLONING.....UNIT 7....... =-0

Is there anything that you have found shocking or intriguing in the process or your research?

Considering my paper is about dogs and humans mostly in comparison or what the dog has discovered to help human health/medications/treatments, or what the humans can help the dog with medications/treatments.

I would like to be able to compare the reproduction between the dog and the humans a little further into context, but it seems if you look any further then the actual way they bear children it turns into cloning. From what I have read they are saying that the dog gnome can replace some of the human gnomes, in order to clone people, or animals of various types.

I am not looking into cloning in any way shape of form, as I do not agree with it. Some say that it is basically the same as in-vitro (artificial insemination), HOW could they compare cloning with this. In my opinion cloning is a scientific method of developing humans or animals and there is so much that could go wrong with this. In-vitro is planting a human egg into a human body, not into a test tube for growing, into a human body. I just have moral and ethic standards that I live by and cloning is not one of them.

Just like cryo-genics, I don't agree with this either. I feel that when you die, then it is time for another healthy human being to take over in your place. Why would you want to freeze yourself until a cure for your illness, disease, or disorder is found. It might end up that it would be so far out of your time that you would be lost and what good would it be to be old, healthy and not know what is going on in the world. Most of the time people are old when they die, or they have done what their life expectancies was from the beginning of the natural life, over the artificial life.

I am disappointed like I said that there is nothing out there that can help with the dog/human reproduction issue. Not that I expected extraordinary findings, as humans and animals can not breed together. Wouldn't that be something to think about a dog/human baby? I can imagine or any other type of animal/human baby. Natural standards are set for a reason I believe, and to some extent the world of science has to let this natural balance work, and I do not believe cloning is holding the natural balance of the evolution tree.

I would appreciate any help that anyone has to offer on the reproduction comparison issue of the dog, verses human.

After writing this blog today, I have I don't know how found some information on infants/dogs. I think I might have found the answer to my own question, THOUGHTS PLEASE PEOPLE, THOUGHTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

I HAVE NO CONSENTRATION AND A HEADACHE FROM H-------- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, everyone I am at a point right now where I have two papers due and I don't have the energy after the last 2 weeks to do anything.

I am hoping that after venting on this blog and later today (it is 2:53 a.m. here in Port Huron Michigan right now) that I will find the energy and the concentration to do what I need to do.
The anatomy outline should go pretty easy, its the paper for this class that I need to finish writ ting so I can get it turned in on time.

I have these really bad migraine head aches and sometimes they cause me to have numbness usually on the right side of my body not to often on the left, and I also forget the names of people or where I am at. They last usually 2 hours, and then a really bad headache for a couple days after words. I have learned through my studies that these could be mini strokes, I have gone to the doctor but they blame it on the migraine's and the fact that I lose my blood pressure to the brain due to the vein restriction. So anyway today was one of those headache days.

Funny story, I was at the bingo hall with one of my friends when on of these episodes came on me and she got mad because I couldn't remember her name or where we were, she thought that I was BSing her, this was when this first started to happen about 3 years ago, so they didn't last but only 1 hour. She called my daughter to make sure that I was really in one of these episodes and then she didn't think it was so funny she wanted to take me to the hospital, but I told her to just take me where I live so I could go to sleep.

It is weird because you know the faces and the places to look at them but you cant remember a thing or names, and one side of your body is all numb and prickly feeling. So I just take a pill and sleep them off.

I have a headache right now, but I need to try to get back into the grove so I can finish all of this work.

Thanks for being such good class friends and listening again,

P.S. Thank god for spell check

WHAT HAVE I BEEN THROUGH IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS..?????.....UNIT 6

The last 6 weeks have been busy weeks for me trying to get information together for two different research papers. One that contains information pertaining to Dogs/Humans and one that pertains to Body Functions and Joints.

I still haven't touched the body paper nor do I have near enough information to do this weeks assignment outline for this paper.

My head is reeling with the paper about the Dog/humans, I have found alot of stuff that I could use if I wanted to write something about cloning, but that to me would be going against my moral ethics. So now the paper is going to focus on the types of diseases, disorders, and treatments that the dog has helped the humans discover.

I would like to thank all of you who included my father in your prayers. That was something that I did not expect. I have some issues with the step-mother that I would like to resolve permanently, but I cant afford to go to prison and be away from my family. I think that she has a guilty conscious about something though. She has tried to contact me more in the last two weeks since dads death, then she ever has in the whole 10 years we didn't talk. I had nothing to settle with my father, so I don't feel bad about anything, we had an understanding between the two of us, maybe that is the problem she thinks she has missed out on something between my father and I that to this day she knows nothing about and it is eating her alive. Well she will never know and I do not intend to give her the chance to find out what she thinks she missed, which as far as I am concerned nothing. She feels bad that after the first visit to the hospital the night I had to leave class early that I did not go back. That was the agreement many years ago between the two of us. That we would not sit around and wait for each other to die, that life would go on, as it would have to anyway with or without each other. And now the step-mother sits an wonders what she will do because with out the old man as she would say she is now alone, people like her should think about how they treat others during their life time or they may end up alone, and she is well on her way to loneliness. Her son doesn't even like her.

Okay, well that is the extent of the last 6 weeks in brief, thank you to all who have read this and taken time to comment if you have. Even if you haven't thanks for reading my ravings about death, step-mothers, and the next assignment,

JUST BECAUSE I'M WEIRD DOES THAT MAKE MY WRITING STYLE WEIRD TOO???????

First detailed comparison of DNA differences among purebred dogs may help identify genes associated with specific traits or diseases in humans

Discuss your personal writing process and see what others have to say about your style.

I don't really have a writing style or at least I don't think of it as one.

I just write down all of the things that are going through my head about the subject that I am writing about. If the research and information that I have already looked up, printed, highlighted, and scribbled in side notes match my thoughts or ideas then I am on the right track. If I don't have the answers to my personal questions then I know I am headed in the wrong direction and I have to look up some more references and make some more notes to get were I want to be.

During the writing process though I write down all of my ideas in statement form, or any forms in which I think that I might use for the paper. Sometimes I end up with a paragraph here or there and I lay them all out on the table and put them all together by reading them out loud and organizing them that way. Then I sit down in front of the computer and get to work.

I find that I do the best of my writing by waiting until the last day before the dead line. I sit down get it all together, print it out hand it out to a few of my best friends(pen included) they love it they always get a new pen, and not just a pen a special pen that I think reflects their personality. They read it make their notes, highlights and side ideas and then around 1/2 in the morning I sit down and rehash it all over again.

This has brought me down to the day of the deadline, its do or die. I read my paper silently, out loud, to my kids, to the dog, fix it, and by midnight of the due date it is ready for the drop box and Kay-SA-Ra, it is finite........

Does that make me weird, or does that make my writing style weird, I never thought of it as any type of style until I started school at Kaplan, but from what I have heard allot of people write their final projects this way, THE WEIRD WRITING STYLE GROUP.

THANKS FOR READING,

FUN INTERACTIVES...............

Okay you guys/gals,

I am having to much fun with this blog thing.

I have added a game option to my blog, if you would like to play any type of game it is there, I add this because my class friend Doreen LOL, needs help with her typing and if she/you go under the education section of this gamer blog you will find it, it is pretty interesting.

NOW, the big black spider will follow your cursor around it you would like to play with it. I don't like spiders but I am fascinated with them. I once thought I would get a black widow tattooed on the palm of my right hand so when I would get my change people would see it, or scare them but I thought differently of that later in life and glad that I did not do it.

BREIFLY MY THOUGHTS...... (UNIT 4)

Based upon your reading on plagiarism, why do you think we need to cite our sources?

Plagiarism is a very serous thing not only in the world of writing but also in life issues. I think it is important to cite because it not only tells people where you found your information at, but it also allows them to look it up on their own. It gives then a chance to form their own opinion of your writing and present any questions they may have of their own.

It also shows that you are giving credit to the person who actually wrote the information that you quoted, paraphrased, or copied word for word. Citing keeps you from being charged with plagiarism. Which as a result could lead to the lose of your career or a lawsuit.

I think citing also shows that you have your own idea in a writing as well as using someone else's ideas which could at some point in time lead to one of your writings being published as you are compiling information on a subject but in a different view. If the paper were to be published and citation was in order there would be no chance that you would lose the publishing right because borrowed information would be sited and your new information would stand out clearly.
