From 1971 to 1991 the price of health related goods and services climbed 30 percent faster that of other goods, placing far out of the financial reach of the working class of this nation. It is time to consider a true national health-care system, in order to insure that everyone, not just the wealthy, can enjoy good health. As it stands, America is the only civilized country where access to basic health care depends on where one works and how much one is paid. For many well insured people there is debate about our nationšs stance on the ...

... body because of the millions of neurons that send and receive messages to and from all over the body. It would be almost impossible to reconnect every single neuron, and without them a person could not function normally. Many psychological effects are also possible because the human brain is so complex. Our brain makes us who we are, and with a different brain we would no longer be unique. A person with a different brain would seem to be a total stranger and in many ways they would be. Hopefully these dangerous side effects will convince doctors not to perform this procedure on humans. The advancement of technology can be very beneficial to everyone, but ...

... other hand, you might have a nightmare where a loved one was involved in a terrible accident. Common reactions to these nightmares would be leaping up from your sleep, and sitting atop your bed in a cold sweat. How about those moments where we may start dreaming about one thing, and without warning we are snatched into another dream that is completely irrelevant to the preceding one. Why?

Though none ...
