Article Name: Chemical Signaling in the Brain By Jean- Pierre Changeux

Gist of Article: Every thought, every voluntary action, begins when a neurotransmitter, released into a synapse, locks with its corresponding receptor. The receptor changes shape, causing the neuron to become permeable to ions. As the ions move, they change the electrical potential of the cell, causing a wave of current to run down it. How binding to a receptor can induce ionic flow is now becoming clear.

Embryonic Tissue Issue By Dennis Ray Stuart

The issues confronting us in embryonic tissue use are: 1. RELIGIOUS , 2. SOCIAL, 3. MEDICAL ETHICS. If there are any other issues I guess I have not recognized them.

In the issue of Religion. In Eccl .1 1.5 It says." As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who Maketh all." In Psa. 139. 13-16 It says "For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." In

Rev.20: 15 It says:' And whosoever was not found in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." In Acts 5:39 It says. "But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it: lest haply ye be found even to fight against God." In Heb. 7: 10 It says "For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Meichisedec met him." Does it not say in the Bible that: whosoever will lose his life for his brothers' sake will save it? I would even surmise that in any religious framework except Satanism that a thing done to help end torment and suffering for many lives would be rewarded by God.

In the Social issues, society should not condone killing. Is a fetus alive? Yes. It grows, it may respond to pain at certain stages. It really is not a living organism until it can maintain its own respiration, digestion, blood circulation and excretions. Its mental consciousness should be more than bad and good stimuli in the womb. Even bacteria can respond to bad and good stimuli. The embryo is a developing layer of germ cells that follow a genetic plan to become a living individual.

It is alive in that it is developing into that individual. When the baby is born it is that individual, with every living characteristic. Do we have the right to take the life of a fetus that is developing?

My reply would be only to three criteria: rape, serious defects in the fetus and threat of death to the mother from the fetus. This is strictly talking socially.

In the Medical ethics issue. Doctors should do no harm. In a rape the harm has already been done. It was a forced thing wrongfully done. The doctor is correcting a harm. In the situation where there is a likelihood that the baby will threaten the health of the mother, the mother should be able to chose to die or live as she wishes. There is no harm in that decision. It is her choice. I hope she would chose life. In the case of serious defects in the fetus it should be in the hands of both the parents to determine the outcome. I further believe that it is wrong to cross species in embryonic research. It should not be allowed to genetically manipulate one species' genes to be placed for integration into another species.

I have a vested interest in embryonic tissue research and genetics. I am a T-11,L-3 Paraplegic. I dislike the abortion issue and have stated my thought and beliefs above. What is troubling to me is: That there is good research type tissue being thrown away every day. The tissue is an immortal line. One aborted fetus could supply the world with all its needs. Every day of abortions take place...and me, I wait.
