ICT and Special Needs Case Study of Christopher Reeve ICT has help Christopher Reeves in many ways. Firstly with out the use of medical equipment Reeve would not have survived after the accident that left him paralysed from the neck down. Such extreme paralysis meant that reeve had to be kept on a ventilator as his lungs did not work so he couldn't leave his hospital bed for 9 months. Later he had an operation to fit a devise which sends electrical impulses to the nerves in his lungs so

research to only 21 embryonic lines was overturned, expanding the number to 75 (Mears 1). While this is a shift in the right direction, it remains insufficient on its own; the government must further increase the budget allotted to the National Institutes of Health in order for labs to access more resources, as well as promote communication and cooperation between research centers. Stem cell laboratories require many pieces of sophisticated equipment including tissue incubators, clinical grade centrifuges
suffer from today. Nanotechnology has the potential to become a core technology for not only modern medicine and dentistry, but others fields such as chemistry, physics, and engineering (Patil et al). Once scientists determine a system that eliminates the dangers of nanoscale materials and regenerative medicine, nanotechnology will without doubt become the fundamental technology of modern medicine. Medical developments concerning nanotechnology have multiple uses and may potentially save thousands
obverse is its interest groups in favor of its proposal. Interest Groups are organizations who share common interest and conspire to protect and promote its interest by influencing the government. For instance, The National Human Genome Research Institute is a society which analyses, the study and practice of the genetic sequence and materials in an organism. Throughout the years, however, their aspiration began to expand to encompass the studies and understanding of the structure and function of
Stem Cell Controversy Stem cell therapy is a controversial topic that falls on the list of things not to discuss over thanksgiving dinner, very much like religion and politics. While the potential of stem cell research and therapy stand to make leaps of progression in cures for disease like Cancer and Alzheimer’s; Pros, Cons and morality still surround the issue. You really cant discuss the pros and cons of something without first knowing the topic. Personally I feel that

patients needing transplants or skin grafts, regenerating axons in spinal cord injuries, and creating new treatments, drugs, and immunizations. However, America’s government does not support this research to an extent that would make a difference in medicine; only a few stem cell lines are authorized, and federal funding is minimal. The government should support embryonic stem cell research by educating the public, increasing federal funds, and easing restrictions. Public Education Stem cell research
