Ethical Considerations in Embryonic Stem Cell Research
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page position paper arguing against embryonic stem cell research and in favor of using adult stem cells for the same purpose. Philosophers can argue the moral and ethical position of harvesting embryonic cells forever, “proving” either positive or negative positions at will without arriving at any solution. If patients are indeed suffering needlessly because of the lack of stem cell research, it is the research community that is responsible. Adult stem cells are readily available, behave in the same manner and carry no ethical or moral consequences at all. Rather than argue against government policy, researchers need to be turning their attention to other possibilities, thereby following the path of research development that has been in use for more than a century and thusfar has produced every advance that we now enjoy. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Factors Relating to Canadian Dental Service Utilization and Access
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing factors relating to dental service utilization in Canada. While Canadians enjoy a universal health care system regulated by the Canada Health Act, dental care (except for dental surgery in hospitals) is not covered by the network of territorial and provincial health insurance plans. Because of this lack of free coverage, financial barriers are often those which prevent utilization of dental services in Canada. However, financial barriers are not the only factors preventing access to dental services. Various studies have found that dental care utilization is also affected by health and illness factors especially in the growing senior population, reluctance to seek out new dental professionals, regional access, regional and cultural beliefs regarding dentistry as preventative and not necessary care, in addition to language and cultural barriers. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Five Common Chemotherapeutic Agents: Cancer Treatments, Side Effects and Complications
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 15 page paper discussing five common chemotherapeutic agents in their treatment of cancer, their side effects and complications. Chemotherapeutic agents are used to interfere with the growth of cancer cells in an effort to destroy them. When studying the alkylating agents chlorambucil, thiotepa and carmustine and the antimetabolites fludarabine and floxuridine, it is has been found that although these chemotherapeutic agents are used in the treatment of various forms of cancer, they can also cause a great many side effects ranging from nausea, hair loss, bloody stools and urine, back and abdominal pain and even secondary cancer which may appear months or years after the administration of the treatment. Patients taking chemotherapeutic agents are also warned that they may cause birth defects during pregnancy or affect the children of mothers breast-feeding. Nevertheless, chemotherapeutic agents have been found to cure over 20 percent of new cancers diagnosed and with proper caution by the patient, physician and administering staff, the patient may overcome the cancer with this form of treatment.
