Medicine Cabinet



                                                           Medicine Cabinet
Essential workers and services are those necessary employees that are responsible to prevent and support residence’s health or safety. Employees who are designated as having essential positions must continue to provide services even during a strike. Police officers, fire fighters and nurses are example of essential workers. In my personal opinion nurses and people who work with sick and infected people should get the treatments earlier than other residences. Since they are working all the time with infected people and in some special situations like when one particular infection has been spread in city, nurses should get the treatment first. This will help them to have stronger body system that can stand the diseases. According to researches and experiences Amantadine and Rimantadine have different disadvantages for people as the reason in my personal opinion we shouldn’t even keep them for back up since they will affect people and it will be better if we spend more money in medicines that have been tested in infected people and have the least amount of disadvantages for infected people. Inserting medicines that have negative effects for people will lead to different diseases and problems therefore it still is better if we don’t even try them. The idea of making new medicines or spending money into stock piling antiviral drugs, for sure new medicines will have more advantages for infected people since it will be the last version of pills that have the best impact however, since these medicines haven’t tried or experienced amount people so we don’t know the disadvantages of them and the money can simply be wasted. As the result my idea is that we can spend more money in medicines that have been tried among people because we know the advantages and disadvantages of them perfectly.

Brain craze



   
                                                                  Brain craze

  Neuroscience is a new topic of science in which until now scientist didn’t spend lots of money in this field since they believed that there are more important fields to work like as curing cancer or HIV. In my opinion scientist should start to spend more money in this new field of science because for instance HIV is a disease that of each person follow some general rules and prevent doing some actions, they may not give this disease as the reason of a person gets HIV it means they have done something wrong. Also in Cancer curing it has been 10 years that scientist and researchers worked on curing cancer problem however they didn’t reach to their goal. As the reason in my personal opinion if they spend more money in this new field it would have more effect in human’s life. According to the article with knowledge taken from Neuroscience and games which contained Neuroscience in it lots of old people started to do things that they did before and make their brain age younger than before. This medicine should be consider as one of the most useful fields that can cure old people easily and it should consider as medicines such as radiology and psychology.  Since this field is new therefore scientist are not sure about the results it can work perfectly or not. However for curing a person, scientist and professionals shouldn’t only use Neuroscience because it is not tested before therefore psychology had better use at first and have higher level. Based on the article a Japanese scientist started to put the neuroscience knowledge in the form of games, these games helped lots of people however in the contrast lots of researchers believe that this games will have negative affect on the brain and if some old person stops these games they will forget the strategies that they have used and will have same brain age as they had. In my opinion if someone can get higher marks in each round this means that because of practice they had reach this level. These games are creative ways to play game with our brain however it will just learn some strategies and what we are doing is actually memorizing the steps. This will not help our brain in a perfect way. As a result playing games shouldn’t be the major way to reduce the brain age and beside this activity there should be another kind of activities as well. There should be always a limit for any activity and if we play games often it can have negative effects as well.  In conclusion I believe that if, scientist put more budget in this field and try to invent another way rather and games to reduce the brain age and help old people it will have more helpful effects. But for now these games has more advantages than disadvantages.

Deaf by Design

                                                                  

                                                                "Deaf by Design" 




      Science has developed through the history and as the time passes new experiments and as a result new discoveries has been found.  Alternating the DNA sequence is a new tool in biology field which has helped lots of people in addition survived huge number of lives. In today’s society lots of pregnant women try to examine and test that their fetus is in right conditions and doesn’t have any problem. There were some cases that babies with disabilities has been diagnosed and announced to their parents that helped them either to have ability to think about either saving the child or aborting the child. In lots of cases abortion of the child was the best choice since it would help parents and the child itself. However, people have used this technology for unusable purposes as well. For instance the deaf culture has come up with the idea that if the normal and healthy people can abort their unhealthy and disable child therefore they can abort their healthy child. According to the article lots of deaf people wish to have a deaf child, like themselves. They even prefer to abort the healthy child than having a child, which has the ability to hear. In my personal perspective, I believe that the alternating of the DNA should be used in useful fields. Useful fields can be defined as correcting the mistakes in addition helping to make the fetus healthy if possible. However in reverse, deaf people contemplate to abort the healthy child and change the healthy person to a disable person. In my personal observation this is wrong. In this case deaf people do not have the right to abort their healthy child and aim to get an unhealthy child only because; people without disability can abort their disable child. This way of thinking is unfair and selfish. Although all of the people in the world, have the same rights but in this case their way of thinking is wrong and they are not supposed to get the right to abort the healthy or change a healthy child to a disable person. Heather’s best choice is to keep her disability since her family is extremely against the surgery and changing a deaf family member to a hearing person. They believe she was raised in a deaf culture and in future in the deaf culture people will not accept her. This is the best decision for her because as she operates the surgery she will not be accepted between her people and in future between the hearing people. This is also very risky since as she does the surgery there is no way back even if she regrets it, since she has experienced the sounds and voices additionally it will be harder for her to forget that experience and come back to her past life. Also as it was mentioned in the video she is still young and cannot make the right decision, therefore she needs to wait until she become a mature person because she can think better an wisely also she can make a decision by herself.
