U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, political unrest in South America, growing U.S. antipathy in Iran, and civil wars in Africa have driven crude oil prices up several times in the last several years. Although oil prices fell significantly in 2011, they are expected to rise again as the world economy recovers. Adding to the uncertainty, it is predicted that natural gas prices, which fell in concert with significant new gas field discoveries, will rise as more and more utilities switch from using coal or oil to natural gas.
Suppose you are the manager of a public utility that supplies electricity to a significant portion of your geographic region. You preside over electrical generation facilities that can produce electricity using either natural gas or oil, or some combination of both.
In the past several years, you have been faced with skyrocketing, then plummeting, natural gas prices, and now think you face the possibility of more of the same, coupled with the probability of similar volatility in oil prices.
Having been trained in Managerial Economics, you are familiar with production functions, isoquant and isocost analysis, and other tools of microeconomics. How can you use these tools to decide the best path for your company to pursue? What are the pros and cons of using these tools?

According to Schneider (2009), if one undergoes radical enhancements, is the result still the same person or someone else?

Now here is two posts.
1) In reproductive endocrinology infertility treatment we face many moral and ethical issues. We are frequently in the news and our ethics questioned. We can now grow embryos longer in the lab than when we first started doing in vitro fertilization. We can now do pre-implantation genetic diagnosing (PGD). We can pick out embryos free from a “bad” gene like cystic fibrosis. We can take immature ooctyes and sperm and mature them in the lab. We can if we want even pick out the boys and girls. How would it be if we were able to develop a human fetus to full term in the lab? Scary!
2) According to Schneider (2009), if one undergoes radical enhancements, is the result still the same person or someone else? When taking into consideration the nature of persons argument presented in the reading, we see that the person would not be the exact same. In the mindscan scenario we see that despite the new Jake looking and acting like the previous Jake Sullivan, they are not the same. If you knew that these enhancements would change you as a person, would you still be willing to do it?
