False Memory Syndrome
Number of words: 1455 - Number of pages: 6.... with any evidence that might challenge the memory. Thus it
takes on a life of its own, encapsulated and resistant to correction. The
person may become so focused on the memory that he or she may be
effectively distracted from coping with real problems in his or her life.”

Argument Against Euthanasia
Number of words: 3097 - Number of pages: 12.... ill persons ask
their physician, friend or relative, to put them to death. The patients or

should be allowed to decide who lives and who dies.

Brain Transplant
Number of words: 473 - Number of pages: 2.... not function normally. Many psychological effects
are also possible because the human brain is so complex. Our brain makes us who
we are, and with a different brain we would no longer be unique. A person with

this procedure on humans.
The advancement of technology can be very beneficial to everyone, but I
do not believe that this medical technology of brain transplants will help
anyone. We were .....

Ericsson Paper: Motor Learning
Number of words: 286 - Number of pages: 2.... which Ericsson reasons that there has been no great correlations
between the attainment of superior performance and inherited traits. The
purpose of this paper is to show agreement with Ericsson's theory, but only to
the extent that deliberate practice is just one of many factors which must be
included in order to gain expert status. Also, the task at hand can be a major
determinant of how large a role practice plays in improvement. For example, in
endurance sports such as marathon running, some are genetically endowed with a
high aerobic capacity/VO2 max, and if these "special" people develop and
improv .....

The Ebola Virus
Number of words: 453 - Number of pages: 2.... you start to
bleed from every opening in your body starting from your nose and mouth to
your gums. Your internal organs liquefy and you vomit them up. In reality,
the virus has attempted to turn its host into a virus. You are dead before
you have even started to show signs of this virus. It is believed that it
is some sort of mutated form of AIDS because it started in the original

Number of words: 1848 - Number of pages: 7.... duodenum,
appendix, or some nasty sounding word. Crohn's disease is a chronic condition
and may recur at various times over a lifetime. Some people have long periods

Number of words: 988 - Number of pages: 4.... matures into the professionals of
the 1990's, the practice of meditation has been incorporated into the medical
field and studied for its effect on the body and mind. The physical practice of
meditation slows and calms the body, lowering blood pressure and heart rate with
the use of deep breathing exercises.
