What causes humans to become ill? Humans can get ill a variety of different ways, anything we eat or come into contact with may cause illness in a human. In this essay I will outline different potential illnesses that a human may suffer with. When a human comes into contact with something that causes an abnormal immune response we call it an allergy. When allergy-prone person initially comes into contact with an allergen their B-cells produce IgE antibody, this antibody produced binds to mast cells

Introduction Ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth’s surface has increased significantly over the last 20 years from increased ozone depletion. UV radiation is a component of sunlight that is divided into three parts: UVA (320-400nm), UV-B (280-320nm) and UVC (less than 280nm) [25]. Wavelength determines the transmission of UV radiation through the Earth’s atmosphere. UVC is completely absorbed by the atmospheric gases; UV-B radiation is absorbed by ozone layer and only a small amount reaches

disease, which enables us to choose between allowing these embryos to result in disabled people or selectively terminating their further development. Alternatively, in the foreseeable future it may become possible to prevent disease by correcting a mutation in embryonic cells or by inserting a normal gene into these cells. It even may become possible to manipulate genes in such a way as to enhance people's normal cognitive and physical functioning. Still another form of intervention in the development

years. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are scientifically altered foods that undergo desired variations to their normal genetic makeup to satisfy certain traits. The ethical issues GMOs produce are well-documented with concerns about genetic mutation and manipulation to favor corruption and the needs of the powerful. However, the social issues they can create are yet to be seen in full effect. GMOs have a history of corporation abuse, and the harm they form in farmlands and the environment, and

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an additional genetic disorder that can cause several implications to a patient. Cystic Fibrosis is the most prominent single- gene genetic disorder. An individual inherits the disease through a combination of both parents having the CF gene in their genetic make up. Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that mainly affects the digestive system and lungs of a carrier. The defective gene causes the body to produce “a thick, sticky buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas and other organs
