Technology-Good Or Bad

Pro-Life Or Pro-Chioce

Most pro-life and conservation Christians follow more moral issues and meanings. Supporters who are pro-choice follow more medical issues. In my opinion, I do not think that it should be left up to the government to decide whether a woman can have one or not. I for one believe that abortion is about the legal

Technology And Its Dangerous Effects On Nature And Human Life As Perceived In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein And William Gibson's Neuromancer

Shelley's work could be viewed as the
