PROBLEM

The study was carried out to investigate the problems of teaching Biology practical in some selected secondary schools in Egor LGA, Edo. Four schools were randomly selected, as sample, out the secondary schools in Egor 120 students and 12 teachers were randomly selected from each of the sampled schools. The research material used was questionnaire to collect data from the respondents. The data obtained were analysed using t-test and percentage count. The findings showed that students problems in Biology practical is as a result of lack of poor laboratory equipments, poor attitudes of teachers toward practical. From the findings it was discovered that there is unavailability of Biology practical tools in most senior secondary schools in Egor local government area of Edo State because of Government poor funding and unavailability of qualified Biology teachers affecting students and teachers effectiveness in the teaching and learning of Biology and its practical. It was recommended that more Biology practical apparatus should be supplied by the government, so as to enhance practical knowledge of students. Teachers should encourage students to develop interest in practical activities by engaging them in practical and providing instructional materials that will challenge them to be actively involved during practical lessons, ministry of education and professional organisations like Science Teachers Association of Nigeria (STAN) should organize workshops, seminars, and conferences for Biology teachers, Biology concepts should be taught with practical activity so that the students will be science oriented.

Abortion represents more than a medical or moral decision; it is an existential dilemma that touches the deepest aspects of personal autonomy, dignity, and social belonging. Women who undergo abortion often confront not only the physical and emotional dimensions of the act but also the heavy weight of social and relIgious stigmatization. Such stigmatization creates an atmosphere of judgment and exclusion, reducing a profoundly personal experience to a source of shame. Abortion challenges cultural expectations that define womanhood in terms of motherhood and reproductive roles. When a woman chooses abortion, she is often perceived as defying communal values, leading to isolation, secrecy, and in many cases, long-term psychological trauma. The human cost of such stigmatization is often overlooked in public discourse, as attention is placed more on moral condemnation than on compassion and understanding. Abortion is frequently cast as a violation of divine order and the sanctity of life. This view, while deeply rooted in sacred traditions, often disregards the real human struggles. poverty, abuse, health risks, or personal circumstances that shape such choices. Yet within these same traditions exist currents of mercy, compassion, and contextual reasoning that recognize human frailty and moral complexity. This project argues that approaching abortion from a human perspective demands moving beyond rigid stigmatization toward empathy and dialogue. By affirming women as moral agents capable of difficult decisions, society and religion can create spaces for healing rather than condemnation. The problem of stigmatization reveals not only the tension between
life and choice but also the urgent need for a more humane ethic, one that values dignity, justice, and compassion in addressing the realities of abortion.

This study examines the moral dimensions of scientific discovery. It evaluates both its remarkable progress and the ethical challenges it presents. Science has undeniably transformed human existence through advancements in medicine, technology, communication, and space exploration. These developments have improved quality of life, expanded knowledge, and offered solutions to many global problems. However, alongside progress, science has also introduced complex moral dilemmas ranging from environmental degradation and weaponization of technology to ethical concerns in genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. Thus, this study critically assesses whether scientific advancement is being guided by moral responsibility or driven solely by curiosity and profit. It also explores the role of ethical frameworks in shaping scientific conduct. It argues that true progress must be measured not just by innovation, but by its impact on human dignity, equity, and sustainability. Hence, this project advocates for a balanced relationship between science and ethics to ensure that discovery serves humanity rather than endangering it.
