A. 1. DNA finger printing is the 'running' of DNA across an agar gel using electrophoresis. Electrophoresis is the conduction of electricity through the gel, running the DNA down the gel. The smaller pieces move faster than the bigger ones, thus creating 'bands' of different size chunks of DNA. The DNA was cut by some sort of lysosome before you ran the gel, so you got the fragments you have from that. Everyone's DNA, except for identical twins, is different, and this means that everyone has different locations where the lysosome cuts, so each person has a different banding pattern unique to them. 2. The bands in the gel, as mentioned above, represent different sized chunks of DNA. Smaller ones move more quickly through the gel than… [cont.]

A. Great question. This is intangible. Something that supposedly cannot be touched. Does this give you a clue as to the magnitude of what endeavors are required to be met? You have medical professionals the world over that specialize in an area most would hesitate to take on. These people are admirable not just for their interest. More so for their compassion. They could care less whether they are misunderstood or not. Tell me this. Would you rather follow your own advice and risk your well being or would you prefer one who is interested, knowledgeable and compassionate about your diagnosis knowing that that one could help you? Whatever your decision is yours to own.

When does human life begin? At conception? When there are brain waves? When there is blood?
Q. *At conception, the entire genetic blueprint of a new individual is formed. Chromosomes contain tightly packed, tightly coiled molecules called DNA. *The heart begins beating 3 weeks and one day following fertilization. *Individualized brainwaves recorded via electroencephalogram have been reported as early as 6 weeks, 2 days. *By 9 weeks thumb sucking begins and the fetus may swallow amniotic fluid. The fetus can also grasp an object, move the head forward and back, open and close the jaw, move the tongue, sigh, and stretch. *By 9 weeks, the nerve receptors in the face, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet can sense and respond to light touch.

A. Yes, life begins at conception. People who have abortions do so because they "don't want a baby." The result they are trying to avoid or prevent is a person. Nine months from conception, a human being is born, abortion kills that person.

Michael Moore is treated like a prophet in Cannes and Venice, as he peddles his tales of an America that poisons its poor, sends its blacks off to war and shoots itself.

What do you think of this recent study that tries to prove gay men are more neurologically similar to women?
Q. This is a much publicised study, which has been on almost every news website on the internet. scans reveal homosexual men and heterosexual women have symmetrical brains, with the right and left hemispheres almost exactly the same size. Conversely, lesbians and straight men have asymmetrical brains, with the right hemisphere significantly larger than the left." The results could explain a University of London study earlier this year that found gay men and straight women share a poor sense of direction compared with heterosexual men, and were more likely to navigate using landmarks alone. The right hand side of the brain dominates spatial capabilities, so may be slightly more developed in heterosexual men and lesbians. An earlier… [cont.]

A. Ok, I think I have the answer. Mr. Barns and Ms. Mayhew were in on it together. They each have the most to gain, and together they have even more motive.

Religious Folks: Don't the stages of human pregnancy show parts of Evolution?
Q. About 3 days after conception: The zygote now consists of 16 cells and is called a 16 cell morula (a.k.a. pre-embryo).

The grouping of cells are now called a blastocyst. It has an inner group of cells which will become the fetus and later the newborn; it has an outer shell of cells which will "become the membranes that nourish and protect the inner group of cells." 3 It has traveled down the fallopian tubes and has started to attach itself to the endometrium, the inside wall of the uterus (a.k.a. womb).

A. Very informative. Though I know your intentions are to sway women who might be considering abortion. I myself am pro-choice but am very opposed to people posting gruesome descriptions of abortion here where pregnant women (who want their children) can read them. I would have been very upset reading such a thing when I was pregnant. I appreciate that you are taking a more positive approach. Technically though, a fetus is still a fetus until its born. Then its called a newborn or neonate. No, it doesn't effect my decision on abortion. Thankfully I've never been in the situation where I needed to make such a decision. I have two beautiful girls and if I ever got pregnant again we'd have it. I'm also 32 and married.
