'Rare' is what colleges want in a candidate, that's what I heard everywhere I researched. Would you consider 1/100,000 rare? How about 1/1,000,000? Maybe? But how about a number that is so small, that even the calculator struggles to compute it. I am talking about 4 out of the entire world population till date. That is how rare my Cystic Fibrosis mutation is. Yes, I have Cystic Fibrosis and a number of complications that come with it. I wake up every morning knowing the reality that there is no cure for it today. But that reality doesn't define my day. I beat the odds to breathe any given day.

    1609 Words  | 7 Pages

    Philosopher John Harris, proposed the experiment of the survival lottery. The survival lottery basically says that if two people (Y and Z) are facing death and could be saved by killing one other person (A) and using their organs for transplant, then we should go ahead and kill A to save the lives of the ones who need the organ transplants. The argument he is making is based strictly on the grounds that the number of lives saved would greatly outway the number of lives that were taken from individuals. Some basic assumptions would need to be made as well. First off, each life would have to be assumed to be of equal value, two lives saved are more valuable than the killing of a single life, the two lives would have to be cured and of a better

  • Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CRTF)

    570 Words  | 3 Pages

    Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disorder involving fluid secretion by the exocrine glands in the epithelial lining of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive tracts (Porth, 2011, p.584). The cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CRTF) gene helps in the regulation of chloride through the epithelial membrane of the cells. A mutation in the CRTF gene causes impaired transport of chloride which increases sodium absorption and water into the blood. Once water moves into the blood it lowers the amount of water of the mucociliary blanket of the respiratory epithelium. Thus, the mucociliary function to not work and secretions (or thick mucus) to build up and block up airways (Porth, 2011, p.585).

  • Stuttering In Children

    In the United States of America there are over three million people who stutter. In these three articles I found online: “Predicting Stuttering Onset by the Age of 3 Years: A Prospective, Community Cohort Study”, “Sociodynamic Relationships between Children Who Stutter and Their Non-Stuttering Classmates”, and a general article just titled “Multidimensional Behavioral Treatment for Child Stutterers” I found that stuttering in children is more common that I thought they were. I chose these articles because they all differ in content of stuttering, but still all covered it in interesting ways. I chose the first article because it was about what age they start seeing stuttering, and whether or not you can catch it early. I chose the second article
