The play by Meg Braem entitled Blood:A Scientific Romance, presents a cautionary tale about the negative effects of human experimentation. Dr.Glass researches on the bond between the sisters, Angélique and Poubelle. He provides them with the essentials for their survival but not for their well being. Dr.Glass’ science experiment does not pursue the ethical principles of research, which brings upon dangers to the twins. Dr.Glass’s vigorous studying on the twins leads hims to ignore his morals and the safety for them. Additionally, the outside influence of Dr.Street brings dire consequences to the twins and inevitably leads a tragedy.
First and foremost, Dr.Glass forces the twins to undergo experiments even though they are subjected to physical

Poubelle discovers the romance between him and Angélique, although her sister lied to her about it. This introduces Poubelle to jealousy. In addition, she learns the idea of being threatened to not have Angélique all to herself, as Angélique now shares her heart between her and Dr.Street. Inevitably, there are different outcomes during the second bathtub experiment because Poubelle does not know how to correctly cope with these new emotions. When Poubelle is placed into the bathtub, her body temperature exceeds the normal temperature reaching the stages of hypothermia. This is caused by Poubelle being angry towards her sister and Dr.Street. Dr.Glass, despite knowing and being informed by Dr.Street that the experiment is bringing perils to the girls, continues with the experiment. This urge to continue and to speed the research process is driven by the fact that the girls are turning eighteen soon. Therefore, they can make decisions on their own. This worriness seen in Dr.Glass explains that his way of experiementing is unethical because he has obeyed the girls to follow through his procedures, without asking for their consent. Later on, Dr.Glass exclaims that the experiment was a “complete failure” (Braem 25.93). Dr.Glass shows little affection towards the girls he has raised for years. Furthermore, when Dr.Street beings upon his worries about the health of the …show more content…
Dr. Glass has made claims where he believes that he has brought up the girls as his own children. Despite that claim, he faults Poubelle and Angélique for his failure. Additonally, Dr.Glass is facing fustration because the girls are turning eighteen soon, meaning that they can make decisions on their own. Consequently, this emotion gets the worst of the twins. Moreover, in the scientific field where humans subjects are used, it imposes that “researchers should terminate experiments if they believe continuing them would be likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject[s]. (Angel). This rule for the safety of the human subjects and for an ethical approach of science is disregarded towards the end of the play. Dr.Glass viciously brings Poubelle to a room where he exclaims: “I’m done waiting. I’ll complete the connection myself”(Braem 29.107). He decides to mix Poubelle and Angelique’s blood together, even though he is aware and warned by Dr.Street that his choice of procedure would be irreversible and that this process has not been approved for testing yet. Nonetheless, Dr.Glass continues with the process causing the death of Poubelle. Dr.Glass has succumbed to emotional change, similar to the twins, that the proper approach the get data has been
With Every Drop Of Blood by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier is based on the Civil War. In this novel they talked about the white-black relationships during this time period. In the novel Johnny’s father went off to fight in the war, and was shot at Cedar Creek to be sent back home for a short amount of time before he passed due to his injuries. When Johnny’s father died Johnny promised him that he would not run off to fight, that he would stay and help his mother with the farm, the house, and Johnny’s little brother Sam and his little sister Sarah. Before Johnny’s father passed Johnny asked him what the reason for the war was, and his father told him it was for ‘states rights’.
Moving forward into chapter seventeen of Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian”, Glanton’s crew rode on as the Apaches they drank with held back, as they refused to ride through the night. The next night Glanton’s men made a fire and discussed what’s happened in their group, the members who’d been killed. Then brought up there possibly being life on other planets. The Judge immediately disagreed though and did a trick, as if that was being the proof to his point or something.
The second chapter of ' 'In Cold Blood ' ' focuses on the aftermath of the murders. While the townspeople and investigators cope with the murder of the Clutter family, the killers make their way to Mexico.
Capote opposes the death penalty, almost pleading that Perry is insane. As the Psychologist is unsure of whether or not Perry is insane, the court quickly shuts that escape route down. The imminent death of Perry and Dick makes the reader feel split on the two, where they would rather have Dick put to death and let Perry live, if the reader so chooses that Perry is insane.
Olivia Butler writes in the afterword of “Bloodchild” that it’s not a story of slavery, and evidence from close reading can be used to support this statement. Butler uses the human form as a vehicle for defamiliarization to show the mechanical functions readers serve themselves and others. Furthermore, this process is able to reveal their passive nature and ultimately highlight the human allowance for manipulation. She brings light to these behaviors by showing a lack of respect for human life, an unbalanced power relationship between the Tlic and the humans, and Gan’s stripped cognitive process.
Cormac McCarthy's setting in Blood Meridian is a landscape of endless and diverse beauty. McCarthy highlights the surprising beauty of combinations of scrubby plants, jagged rock, and the fused auburn and crimson colors of the fiery wasteland that frame this nightmarish novel. Various descriptions, from the desolate to the scenic, feature McCarthy's highly wrought, lyrical prose. Such descriptions of the divine landscape seem to serve a dual function. While being an isolated highlight to this gruesome novel, McCarthy's beautiful setting also serves as an intricate device in defining the novel's themes and creating the reality in which it is set.
James’s thought was shocking to everyone where he revealed that he had feeling for Theresa. James and Marty are life partners, yet James was not honest with Marty; this shows that the truth eventually comes out between the lies even if theater is only pretending. When Schultz asked Marty about her injury and she pretended to be fine, but Schultz suggested it was night terror, followed with question if she had been harassed when she were young to which she answered no. However, later through the anonymous game, she did confess that she was molested when she was young revealed that amidst of all that artificiality; there was honesty along with the pretentiousness. This play revealed the truth about how beautiful when people throw themselves earnestly and unselfconsciously into something and be healed through the interaction with each
This is an early dramatization of something we know better a century later: the difficulty of translating medical scientific knowledge into political action. Ibsen's well-intentioned blustery doctor heroically fails. This is partly because the local democratic processes are quite cynical (powerful people prevent him from getting his information to the citizens). Dr. Stockmann also suffers from a professional blindness that keeps him from understanding how anyone could possibly disagree that his scientific "truth" (he uses the world frequently) requires rebuilding the town's waterworks. He is a classic case of virtue-based ethics sacrificing outcome for principle.
In conclusion, Even though both Ibsen and Glaspell are showing the responsible for giving women insight to what their lives could be as an independent person who is treated as an equal, their plays deals somewhat different sight to deals with the problems of the inequality between men and women. In other words, in A Doll’s House, Nora – like many others – begins to realize that she is more than capable of thinking and living for herself. Unlike Nora, however, in Trifles, Mrs. Wright chose to stay married to her unloving and murder her husband. Moreover, unlike what A Doll’s house portrayed, in Trifles, Glaspell shows the power of women can gain by sticking together and looking out for one another in order to improve their social positions from the behavior of Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters.
Bad blood is a book that was written James H. Jones who is an associate professor of History. The book narrates on how the government through the department of Public Health service (PHS) authorized and financed a program that did not protect human values and rights. The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment which was conducted between 1932 and 1972 where four hundred illiterate and semi-illiterate black sharecroppers in Alabama recently diagnosed with syphilis were sampled for an experiment that was funded by the U.S Health Service to prove that the effect of untreated syphilis are different in blacks as opposed to whites. The blacks in Macon County, Alabama were turned into laboratory animals without their knowledge and the purpose of the experiment
Blood on the River by Elisa Carbone is a historical novel that focuses on the uphill battle to build the first permanent English colony known as Jamestown. In order to survive the colonists had to find a way to trade with the Indians for recourses and battle against the common enemy, called death. Having a healthy, functioning society was by far the hardest thing to maintain.
The name of the study came from Dr. Brodus and what the experiment was on. Which turns to be years and finally it was exposed, what they were doing? So they called Syphilis another name which is “Bad Blood” which mean the same thing, but in their language. They were saying “Your general areas will collapse and stop working”. Ms. Evers had to tell the doctor to let her explain because the men didn’t know what they were saying.
This play is also a story about the coming of age of young women (Blo...
In the novel Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy, he illustrates how bloody and gruesome the expansion to the west really was. Deconstruction is defined as “a critique of the hierarchical oppositions that have structured western thought: inside/outside, mind/body, literal/metaphorical, speech/writing, presence/absence, nature/culture, form/meaning” (Culler 126). The author uses deconstruction so that the reader can see how dark the movement to the west was. As previously mentioned, deconstruction of a culture can take place in one’s mind, and by reading this book, the reader’s thoughts on American westward expansion changes because of the dark elements the author uses in his book. McCarthy does this in several ways such as using vivid details about the many battles and fights that happen on the Kid’s journey west, maintaining historical accuracy throughout, and the constant struggle between good and evil.
I will be investigating Human Blood as my specific tissue and giving an overview on the location, characteristics, and the benefits it has to the human body. Blood is extracellular matrix that is consists of plasma, red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Blood is located within the capillaries/veins/arteries of the human body, which are blood vessels that run through the entire body. These blood vessels allow the blood to flow smoothly and quickly from the heart to distinct parts of the human body. The unique parts of human blood all work together for a purpose: the Red Blood Cells(erythrocytes) transports oxygen throughout the body, White Blood Cells(leukocytes) play a part in the bodies immune system, Platelets(thrombocytes) assist in creating scabs,
