Twelve million Americans are infertile and will pursue years of painful and expensive treatments to have the chance to pass their genes to their own offspring. Human cloning can offer infertile couples a chance at reproduction. Cloning technology may even prevent clinical depression, divorce, and suicide among infertile people. An example of a use for cloning, is if one partner suffered from a disease that was passed on to children by reproduction, an alternative could be to clone the other partner and have the child be a replica of one of his parents. This will allow the parents to have a child that is genetically identical to at least one of them. Cloning technology would not require a viable sperm or egg cell, but any body cell would do. This technology would be able to bypass defective gametes and possibly allow infertile couples to have their own biological children. Cloning technology may be able cure Tay-Sachs disease, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, and Huntingtons disease.

Hello all,
I am considering pursuing my B.A in Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness. Does anyone have a degree in this field? What is its value? I think it would be great to land a job with the Department of Defense, but what are the odds even with this degree? If that plan doesn't work out, what could one use this degree for? Can anyone shed some light?

I went to college years ago, and received a 2.47 GPA. I know this is low and does not reflect my abilities or intelligence. My life path has brought me to a point in life where I want to be a classroom teacher. In NH you need an undergraduate GPA of 2.5. If I take college courses at this point (and get A's) will that raise my GPA? I know it cannot alter my official GPA from my university,...but unofficially it should raise the overall gpa, shouldn't it?

I'm a first year teacher (teaching high school English, speech and drama and running the drama dept.). I was so looking forward to Thanksgiving break and now I'm finding that I don't want to go back. I thought I would be rested up with my time off, but now I'm burned out.

Is it going to get better? Did anyone else suffer through this? Help!!
