NEED TO ANSWER ALL TWO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS...also specify which answer goes to which discussion question  

question 1

You will find that when it comes to DW there is more than one way to build it. Three common DW types are:

• Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW)
• Operational Data Warehouse (ODW)
• Data Mart (DM)

Select one of the common DW types and analyze it based on generally accepted DW usability rules. In your post you should be able to explain the benefits and any potential limitations of your chosen DW approach and give a practical example of how this DW approach could be used.

question 2

A controversial issue, closely related to cloning, that has caused a lot of debate is the use of embryonic stem cells. One possible application of these cells is that they may be able to supply replacement tissues to treat diseases such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, paralysis due to spinal cord injuries, and other degenerative diseases. The word "embryonic", has caused fierce opposition to this type of research because embryos are destroyed when the stem cells are removed. Questions that have surfaced in this debate include: When a cell nucleus is transferred to another cell, have we created life? Does a stem cell have the same status as a human? What should be done with the embryos that are left over at in vitro fertilization (IVF), clinics? Advocates argue that the medical benefits of stem cell research would be enormous. Opponents argue that life begins at conception and thus this type of research is abortion.

Based on what you have read, explain why you are for or against stem cell research. How would you explain your position to someone who disagrees with you?

Please explain your answer and post it in the discussion area.
