The Experiment: Nanotech Robots Deploy Cancer
-1. The desired outocomes of this human science experiment was to help fight cancer and to reduce the various tumors in patients. The scientists' outcome would turn out being successful by putting RNA molecules in a special polymer robot, also with a chemical sensor. So, when the surroundings of the cancerous cell interrupted the chemical sensor, the robot would release the RNA, therefore satisfying the outcome of the experiment.


-2. The research done or the work done to reach the desired outcomes was first, experimenting it on 3 people under the influence of melanomas, they would get the RNA nanoparticles intravenously 4 times in approximately 30 minutes in 3 weeks. Then, these subject patients would get samples taken. Later, showing positive results, meaning that the melanomas had contained RNA and also a reduction in tumor gene expression. Therefore, reaching the desired outcome.
-3. The outcome in this successful human science experiment was that scientists and specialized people are inventing and coming up with a cure to tumors leading to cancer, a possible way to reduce the tumor gene expression. What this successful science experiment tells us about humans is that we humans have been reported about unseccessful and unethical outcomes in human science experiments, therefore, we can see that not all human science experiments harm people and are negative, in the contrary, some of them are of great use and in this case a cure for many people living with this dilemma.

child marriage
in judaism, child marriage it was traditionally prohibited to female children. The earliest point at which a boy is allowed to become betrothed is when he gets the age of majority, which is 13.
Poverty, religion, tradition, and conflict make the incidence of child marriage in Sub-Saharan Africa similar to South Asia.
In Pakistan, the tradition of child marriage is still practiced in some areas, but in Vani and other customes like Swara and Watta Satta no. The minimum legal age for marriage is eighteen for male and 16 for females.
I personally believe that the tradition of chil marriage around the world should not be tolerated. We should all fight for the rights of human beings, especially women (since they are the major victims in child marriages) and make people aware of the great damage thats being done to many children around the world who aernt able to choose their own partner in life, that are forced into marrying, girls who are taken out of school to be moms at a very early age and never develop a complete education to be successful in life. So, I believe this theme of child marriages is completely unfair and globally should be restricted.



origin: Honduran Newspaper. This tells me that it is from the point of view of a group of people who are against communism and president chavez controling the president manuel zelaya with communist acts.
purpose: to give a visual representation of how people feel about President Chavez manipulating Honduran's ex-president Mel Zelaya to impose the "4ta Urna" and influencing communism on Honduras' future and how their against all of this.
value: this is an important point of view because it can be eye opening to some people who do not realize Chavez intentions of manipulation.
limitations: its a biased cartoon, only shows one group's point of view. There is no description through the cartoon therefore we cannot completely understand the point of view of the person that made the cartoon.
