Identity and Reproductive Technology
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the ideas of identity through the ongoing controversy of reproductive technology. Identity in today’s culture has become skewed in relation to the increasing technological possibilities in reproduction and the continued quest for the ideal American dream. Eugenics, or selective breeding, has been the basis for considerable controversy for over seventy years yet reproductive technology continues to expand. Today’s technologies can offer researchers control over genetic characteristics in which the genes carrying congenital defects can be identified, altered or removed. While this is intended to create a healthier population, reproductive technology is also considered as a way to pre-select desirable traits for future generations; the problem being who will be the ones to decide which traits are desirable? In the 1920s, Chesterton discussed the protection of American identity through eugenics while Albee’s play in the 1960s “The American Dream” tells how the American identity has become one of superficial and materialistic values. Most recently, McGee in his text “The Perfect Baby” points out that regardless of any advances in reproductive technology, social influences will always overpower them. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Image and Results in the Pharmaceutical Industry
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing problems in the pharmaceutical industry in the US and its likely outlook for the early part of the new century. There is little new in the pharmaceutical industry in the pattern of long development times, high R&D costs and efforts to recoup costs and generate profits in the relatively short time that the developing company has protected rights to a formula. What is new is the growing complexity of the diseases and conditions now under study and the immense increases in costs over the years. Some point to the fact of 2001’s 4.4 percent growth as a mark of doom, but that likely is not the case. The general economy grew during the same period only by just over 2 percent. Growing at only twice the rate of the national economy generally is not a sign of doom. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
