Consanguineous Marriage: Constitutional?
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Consanguineous marriages are most prevalent in global communities still untouched by such culturally revolutionizing events as industrialization and technological advancement, however, they still exist in many of today's more civilized societies. To marry and produce children with a close relative has long been an accepted approach for the perpetuation of the family, an aspect typically encouraged by religious doctrine. However, while this type of marital union may have an extensive presence in terms of historical validity, it cannot be considered constitutional from a number of different angles, not the least of which includes the notion of inbreeding, morbidity and mortality. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Considering Organ Donation
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. When one considers the fact that a single individual can give life to more than seven people, it is astounding to think that anyone would not consider organ donation. However, there are those who cannot see past their own personal concerns, knowing full well that once they are dead, their organs are of no further use to them. Typically, when asked for a reason, the most common
answers incorporate religion or fear, both of which carry with them heavy ethical motivation. The writer discusses the controversy behind organ donation, as well as addresses the views of Aristotle, Kant and Mill. Bibliography lists 4
sources.

Copyright And Genome Databases
[ send me this paper ]
18 pages in length. The antagonistic issue of ownership is one that transcends virtually all boundaries of what might otherwise be considered a civilized society. From ancient Rome to contemporary times, the fight for lawful claim upon a certain entity has always been ensnared within the confines of man's contempt for fair distribution of any given commodity. The concern over the absence of any copyright protection laws for human genomics databases is but one of myriad issues surrounding the entire precarious research program; with sensitive and pertinent information being discovered in relation to human genomics research, and the fact that anyone is fully capable of securing that information without prior permission by only slightly modifying the existing database, original creators and critics are up in arms about the unethical and inequitable nature of such unprotected actions, a bone of contention that has existed in various forms for hundreds of years. Bibliography lists 30 sources.
