In the novel, the world meets the diabolical plans of a single biochemist to stop overpopulation. “The doors were never sealed, Brüder realised to his horror. Containment has failed.” This shows that the World Health Organization (WHO) knows that the biochemist, Dr Bertrand Zobrist, leader of the Transhumanist movement and ancient art enthusiast obsessed with Dante, had released some kind of virus to infect humanity.

Frankenstein Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is one of the classic novels of the 19th century and considered by some to be the first actual work of science fiction. The plot of the story is that an aspiring scientist, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, reanimates a corpse and afterwards the monster takes revenge on his neglectful creator. The books popularity and influence has led to a long string of movies and adaptations. The most recognizable of these films is the 1931 Frankenstein starring the horror icon Boris Kosloff. The director, John Whale, and his staff made several changes to the story in order to create more cinematic material.
A group of people, known as flagellants would whip themselves and torture themselves, in the belief that if they punished themselves god would not need to punish them with disease or illness. The belief of the four humours was used right up until the renaissance. During the Middle Ages physicians would use bloodletting and purging of the body to restore the balance of the four humours. Bloodletting was commonly used as a treatment for plague around 1350. Home remedies were still used in the Middle Ages, but unlike the Roman Era when the father was in charger of the remedies, these were passed from mother to daughter within the household.
What actions has Blackstone taken to create value in this investment? Blackstone’s proven ability to generate alpha through theme park investments was recognized in its US investments in Six Flags and Universal Studios Escape. Leveraging this knowledge base, the firm saw Merlin as a viable opportunity to take this experience base abroad and capitalize on consolidation of the European theme park and attraction industry (lagging the consolidation that took place in the U.S). Blackstone found ways to create value through several ways: * Strong management team Blackstone recognized the value that having a strong management team in place can create. The CEO of Merlin, Nick Varnay, was passionate for the business and had met or exceeded his numbers for the past five years.
He had no experience of the subject but Pasteur identified parasitic infections as the major cause and preferred that only disease-free eggs to be used. His order saved the industry. Various investigations convinced him of the germ theory of disease, which states that germs attack the body from outside. Many believed that such tiny organisms could not possibly kill humans or larger beings. He then extended this theory and explained the causes of many diseases such as anthrax, cholera, TB, and smallpox, also including the prevention of these diseases by vaccination.
Beginning with Antony Van Leeuwenhoek peeping at these petite individuals through his grinded lenses, to Koch discovering that anthrax can contaminate and kill a creature through blood, the world learns that microbes can work miracles as well as making people prone to both disease and destruction. Until the Dutchman Antony Leeuwenhoek came along, Microbes were unseen by the world, even the most brilliant scientists. Out of curiosity, Leeuwenhoek decided to grind his own lenses to peer into a small drop of clear rainwater. This act of pure curiosity led to the discovery of creatures a thousand times smaller than any animal men have seen with the naked eye. This news aroused the whole world, resulting with him to be renowned from his home country to Russia.

Because of these brave animals the human race can go on living knowing that thanks to experimenting on animals we have found cures to cure some of the most deadly diseases or have found help to slow down such a killing disease for humans and even the animal race. As of now, no feasible alternatives exist to test pharmaceutical products for safety on animals. “Scientists already use in-vitro studies and computer models, and animal testing comes only after these tests have been performed. If a drug fails either test, it will not be given to animals anyway” (The Guardian, 2006). Studies suggested “‘micro-dosing’ ( small amounts of a product is given to humans through the skin) could be a very effective alternative to animal experiments and testing.” Studies suggest that growing a small piece of human liver tissue from a stem cell can make it possible one day to perform initial human safety trials in a lab.
