The article, "New Analysis Shows Three Human Migrations out Of Africa," posted by Science Daily is about new discoveries about previously determined dates of our ancestors. The article focuses its argument on the work of Alan R. Templeton, PhD, of Washington University in St Louis. He has proven that Eurasian populations interbred with those of Africa. His findings have enabled new discoveries about the dates to which these people belong. These new findings suggest that these populations have existed long before they were originally thought to have existed. These studies were assisted by the use of technology and a modified computer program that was used by Templeton. The new discoveries can help us determine more about the earlier populations. The more accurate dates we can derive the more accurate scientists and anthropologists' studies may be.

The Stored Tissue Issue, Robert F. Weir; Robert S. Olick
Within the book, there is a section corresponding to actions that have taken place in Oregon to help better the tissue debate. A committee was assigned to come up with a better resolution to the property debate. In most cases property rights are mainly to benefit the researcher. The reasoning is to protect scientific research and experimentation. The book also refers to abandonment of property. The laws pertaining to abandonment of property state that all rights and ownership are relinquished if ownership is given up. The book raises a question as to whether or not tissues should apply. The argument is that in most cases the patient was under the impression that by giving up their tissue for whatever medical reason, the tissue would become medical waste.

Give me a Break, Give me a Break, Break me off a Piece of the Rest of the Week
I am so glad that we have one more day this week. I am really tired lately. It seems as though I cannot get enough sleep. Wednesday is going to be a long day. Dr. Hicks cancelled class (thank goodness), but the slight problem is that we now have a huge gap between our classes. Most of us have labs on Wednesday. We have to wait until 1:15 when lab starts. Why can't we just get that Wednesday off? It would be fantastic! Also, this Friday I have the pleasure of working. I do not look forward to that, but I do plan on getting up for the sales. I have yet to do my Christmas shopping. Our advancements in technology even allow shopper's to participate in Black Friday online. It almost seems smarter to use this method, especially since most people use debit cards anyhow.

King of the Fishes
The electric eel is said to be the "King of the fishes," because it is the most deadly fish. The electric eel is located in the fresh waters of the Amazon Rivers of Peru, Venezuela, Columbia, and Brazil. It can produce an electric charge of 600 volts. This fish can detect and generate electric fields. Its lethal discharge can kill humans instantly. How do eels produce this electricity? They have three organs in their bodies that help promote this "electrifying" function. The main organ, the hunter's organ, and the sachs organ are made up of electrocytes. There are over 6000 electroplaques in the eel. The eel can determine the amount of voltage it wants to emit. Strangely, the eel is somewhat disoriented by salt. The salt messes up the polarity of the head and the tail of the eel.

DNA Promise and Peril
Linda L. McCabe; Edward R.B. McCabe; Regents of California Press, 2008.

Rina Hikimian and David Korn from the Association of American Medical Colleges examined and researched the current conditions and impressions of the ownership of tissues and the property rights that are involved. The document reviews several court cases. In every court decision, the ruling was not in favor of the individual but in favor of the patent or institute of research. Summarizing each decision, science is left untouched. The court favors scientific research that ultimately will benefit more than one person. This impression disregards any argument of ethics and profit. I think these topics should be considered largely instead of casting them aside.

Hmm..
I read the link about pharmacists that is posted on the class blog.
I believe that a pharmacist should have the right to refuse to fill a prescription. However, the patient has a right to his/her prescription. A solution to this rising problem is to have another pharmacist that is willing to fill the prescription if the other one is uncomfortable. This solution would relieve any problems from the patient and the pharmacist will not feel guilty.
I am a pharmacy technician. I used to work in the Kroger pharmacy. When I was first hired, the pharmacist made me sign a paper that stated issues about the morning after pill that the article mentioned. The pharmacist explained to me that I had a choice as to whether or not I wanted honor this kind of prescription. If someone chose not to, someone else would take the uncomfortable person's place for the time the patient was there. Also, if one refused to have a part in this prescription, absolutely nothing can be said.

I Wanna Be Rich I Wanna Be Famous....
If only I had money. Life would be so very simple. I would not have to think about college. Adios chemistry! I am trying to work and be a full time student. It is very difficult to do this. I already have limited time, but work limits it even more. I have a bitch for a boss! I can't stand her. She refuses to cooperate with my school schedule. I handed her a copy and wrote down everything that I needed her to follow, but she will not honor my requests. Now, I am in a situation. She told me over the weekend she could no longer work with my school schedule, so she is moving me to the front-end. I have to be a cashier! I do not want to do that job whatsoever. I tried to work in the pharmacy again, but their hours were supposedly cut back. Does every turn I make have a dead end?
