Dr. Jack Kevorkian

Dr. Jack Kevorkian is an American pathologist and a right-to-die activist. He helped in assisting over 130 people who killed themselves, because he believes dying is not a crime. After these people died, he was sentenced to jail time for second degree murder. I think he is a murderer because only God should be able to decide when you are meant to die. He should not be playing God.

Human Genome Project

The Human Genome Project was a research project with the plan to find the sequence of chemical base pairs that make up dna that is in a human's body. Another goal of this project was to map the genes of the human genome. The project was completed in 2000 by the UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group. But the project originally began in 1990, and was started by James D. Watson at the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
