Women vs American Supreme Court - The History of Abortion Legislation

United States Congress, Jon O. Shimabukuro, Matthew B. Barry, Congressional Research Service, Supreme Court of the United States

Summary

The legality of abortion in the United States is subject to individual state laws. In 1973, Roe v. Wade made the first abortion case to be taken to the Supreme Court, which had made it federally legal. In 1992, Roe was partially overturned by Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which stated that states cannot place legal restrictions posing an undue burden for "the purpose or effect of placing a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus." In 2022, both Roe and Casey were overturned, and abortions are now subject to regulations based on state laws once again. Individual states can regulate and limit the use of abortion, some of which already have through the use of "trigger laws", which made abortion illegal within the first and second trimesters when Roe was overturned. Eight states—Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wisconsin—still have pre-Roe abortion bans in their laws, which may be enforced too.
This reading provides a thorough overview of the federal legalisation regarding the legality of abor-tion. It presents a judicial history and legislative response of the US federal institutions. In addition this collection is enriched with information which are indispensable part of every abortion debate in the United States.

Biotechnology - The Future of...

Mike Crawford

Biotechnology is a field that has revolutionized many aspects of science, health, agriculture, and industry. Defined broadly, it is the use of living organisms or their components to develop or create new products. Biotechnology combines elements from various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering, to harness biological systems and organisms in ways that can benefit society. The origins of biotechnology can be traced back thousands of years, though its modern applications are far more advanced, opening up new possibilities that were once beyond imagination.
The history of biotechnology begins with early humans’ use of fermentation in food production. Ancient civilizations used microbial fermentation to produce alcoholic beverages, bread, and other food products. While these early practices were largely based on trial and error, they laid the groundwork for what would later become a scientifically rigorous and highly specialized field. Over time, as our understanding of biology and genetics advanced, biotechnology expanded beyond simple fermentation. The discovery of DNA, the identification of genes, and the subsequent development of genetic engineering techniques paved the way for biotechnology to play a central role in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and environmental conservation.
One of the key milestones in the development of biotechnology was the invention of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s. This groundbreaking innovation enabled scientists to manipulate genetic material in organisms and create genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The ability to transfer genes between species brought new possibilities for improving crops, developing vaccines, and producing medicines. The first genetically engineered human insulin, for example, revolutionized the treatment of diabetes and marked a significant leap in biotechnological advancement.

Hypnosis - Unlocking the Power...

Coral Nunez

Hypnosis has long captured the imagination of people worldwide. From ancient shamanic rituals to modern therapeutic practices, the concept of influencing the subconscious mind has evolved significantly. But what is hypnosis, and why does it hold such intrigue? This chapter sets the stage for an exploration of hypnosis, dispelling myths, uncovering truths, and providing a foundation for understanding its power and potential.  
  
At its core, hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often accompanied by deep relaxation. Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not about losing control or being at the mercy of someone else’s will. Instead, it is a collaborative process in which the subject actively engages with their subconscious mind. Hypnosis allows access to a realm of untapped potential within us, where behaviors, emotions, and even memories reside.  
  
One of the most persistent myths surrounding hypnosis is its portrayal as mystical or magical. Popular culture has often depicted hypnotists as enigmatic figures wielding a pendulum to control unsuspecting subjects. These dramatizations have fueled skepticism and fear, overshadowing the scientific principles that underpin hypnosis. Understanding hypnosis requires recognizing that it is a natural phenomenon deeply rooted in human psychology and neuroscience.

Urban Sociology - A Global...

Fred Grandsen

Urban sociology is the study of social life, interactions, and institutions within cities and urban areas. As the global population continues to urbanize, understanding the social dynamics of cities has become increasingly important. Urban sociology examines how cities evolve, how people experience urban life, and how social, economic, and political forces shape urban environments. From towering metropolises to small urban centers, cities function as hubs of economic activity, cultural exchange, and political power. They also reflect and reinforce social inequalities, providing a unique lens through which to study contemporary social issues. 
The development of urban sociology as a discipline emerged in response to the rapid urbanization of the 19th and 20th centuries. Industrialization transformed rural societies into urban ones, drawing millions of people into cities in search of economic opportunities. Early sociologists, such as Georg Simmel, studied how urban life altered human interactions, emphasizing the psychological impact of living in densely populated environments. The Chicago School of Sociology, led by scholars like Robert Park and Louis Wirth, further explored urban life by analyzing migration, social organization, and spatial patterns. Their work laid the foundation for modern urban sociology by introducing key concepts such as social ecology and urban subcultures.
