A citizen of America, is someone who lives in America on a day to day basis. Contributes to the society. Someone that experiences the changes in weather in America, to the health-related sicknesses their other fellow American citizens may develop. These things cannot be established or brought to the public without the use of biological research. Biological research ranges from marine biology, cancer cell biology, and even evolutionary biology. Scientist and researchers have done many things. Wither it be little or small, nationwide or community driven their efforts go unmatched. The ranges of biological research are so vast that it contributes to everything. Especially when it pertains to health-related sicknesses and diseases. Although I am a political science major and I do not have a passionate desire for biology. I however, see how it impacts my day to day activity. In my early adolescence, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. This diseased not only affected her but myself as well. Therefore, I understand the severity of research for cancer. As I carefully research for this paper, I see how many scientists are involved …show more content…

Therefore, people obviously are affected with breast cancer or some other form of cancer in some way. Regardless if they are the victim or the love one helping the victim endure the disease. Although cancer is a tough thing to beat, biological research helps. Scientist can experiment with cancer cells and see how they react to certain treatment. Such as radiation treatments and even miR-22. I found that MiR-22 is a tumor suppressor. A tumor suppressor basically slows down cell division. If a patient receives this they are basically slowing down the growth of any cancerous cell. These medical advances and scientific research help benefit American citizens. Without these studies American people would probably be more prone to dying. This is a major benefit to all
