Where Dissected Animals Come From?

I normally do frog and pig dissections at my school, but this year I was confronted by a student in my class named Alexis Guschel. You can follow her at http://aguschel.blogspot.com. She showed me a PETA video dealing with animal dissections along with the two companies I normally order preserved animals from. I'm amazed that she not only voiced her opposition to dissection, but gave resources to support her position. Watch the video below for more info.

Though these entities have worked with these genes and discovered valuable information, should human, biological information of this nature be patented? Though scientists have made great breakthroughs, patenting future information concerning a gene that could cure cancer or other similar symptoms is very controversial. What are your thoughts?

FDA APPROVES HUMAN STEM CELL RESEARCH

Stem cell research has been a heated debate throughout the election. Today the FDA has approved the first human embryonic stem cell study to take place in the summer. This post is dedicated to educating people on the pros and cons of adult and embryonic stem cell research. I have included a link from the National Instutute of Health (NIH), article from CNN, and a Youtube video explaining the process of how both adult and embryonic stem cells work.
