There are ways to remove cancer from the body, like getting a mastectomy or an oophorectomy. Also, not all women who carry a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene will get cancer. Heredity and inheritance relates to the data in these charts because cancer can be passed down through families. Many of the women in these charts likely received the cancer from someone in their family who had cancer also. In order to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of preventive surgeries, I would need to see a chart of how many people the surgery was a success for and for how many people it had no effect.
The body parts and organs that were named have been successful in treating the patient’s condition. Discuss whether or not these artificial organs can permanently replace the original human organ. I believe in this day and time, that completely ruling out regular transplant would not be fair because there are so many people waiting for a transplant. I feel as though artificial organs cannot permanently take the place of original human organs because a patient might not react as well to an original human organ rather than an artificial one. My theory also is that eventually people will start bidding on artificial organs and the richer people will have say over a family that doesn't have a lot of money.
In the UK, alcohol causes 12,500 cases of cancer, around 4%.I also think this strategy is easy to follow as there’s no need to stop drinking alcohol completely, just less of it. It’s a positive strategy as it helps people save money rather than spend it but there’s also people out there who are alcohol dependant or even get peer pressured into it. Breast screenings or X-Rays can be a positive strategy for breast cancer, even though it may already show that the patient has breast cancer, they may be able to catch it
This advertisement shows the value of being successful in life. This is shown by Lambert telling the audience that he was not able to be successful until his acne was gone because he was then able to be confident in himself. Overall this commercial of Adam Lambert endorsing Proactive is successful in persuading the audience to buy Proactive. It is successful because it is credible and uses the emotions of the audience in order to persuade them into believing that their life will improve in multiple way if they use this
In Michael J. Sandel ‘s account “The Case Against Perfection” he talks about the positives and negatives of genetic engineering, and producing drugs to help the human species. Michael J. Sandel in my opinion agrees and disagrees with my idea of using genetic engineering, new procedures, and new drugs to help improve human life. Michael starts off on how these new ideas can help us out in four areas: muscles, memory, height, and sex selection. In the muscles category he talked about using the new genetic techniques to make muscles stronger. When you’re at old age your muscles tend to get weaker and they start to hurt.
Research being currently carried out into cystic fibrosis includes trying to find a cure through gene therapy, this would try to prevent lung disease in a cystic fibrosis sufferer. People with cystic fibrosis suffer with their lungs becoming clogged with a sticky mucus making it very difficult for them to breathe. Prevention of cystic fibrosis could be done through screening a person to see if there is any family history of the disease present. Also by testing a woman during their pregnancy, by performing an aminocentisis test which would mean a sample of fluid taken from the womb. Also "chronic villus sampling", this involvs a sample of tissue (a biopsy) taken from the placenta and tested.
Ingredients of Equine Platinum Potency are natural and essential for most equine diets and do not cause negative side effects or animal welfare concerns (Goodman 1). Equine Platinum Potency is a product formulated to increase sperm motility, quality, and survival throughout semen freezing and shipping process. Such results are highly beneficial to an equine reproduction operation. DVM, Doug Herthel, founded Platinum products for the equine species hoping to restore maximum health with simple ingredients that normal equine diets lacked (Goodman 1). Wife Sue Herthel felt her husband had an outside of the box approach and came up with the name Platinum to represent the prestige she felt the products had.
The unusual alliance between our beauty and health standards gives the imperative to be fat-free a special potency and has bred an ancillary conviction that thinner is also happier and more virtuous” (p.52). There is a fine line between healthy and thin. Sometimes we try to associate these media driven beautiful bodies as being healthy, when in essence they are just a fabrication of what is actual health. The thin ideal is body type’s men or women portray through the media which encompass a thin build, a model look, and an acceptable standard of beauty. This ideal increased rapidly through publications such as Playboy centerfolds and Miss America Pageants.
The current Swiss president Pascal Couchepin was not happy with LAMAL when it started 10 years ago, but know he likes it. He said to the reporter: “Everybody has right to healthcare”. T. R. Reid said to the Swiss president: “we would certainly say everyone’s entitled to an education. Everyone is entitled to legal protection if you get in trouble with the law. But we don’t say that everyone’s entitled to healthcare.” In Switzerland their benefit is the same for everybody and the insurance companies can not make profit on basic healthcare but can make it on luxury services as better hospital rooms and so fourth, this also a way how they attract more
“Genetic counseling: An educational counseling process for individuals and families who have a genetic disease or who are at risk for such a disease. Genetic counseling is designed to provide patients and their families with information about their condition and help them make informed decisions.” (medterms.com) Genetic counselors are the professional that sit down with the parents of an affected child and go over step-by step the process to how they might have gotten the disorder and how to cope and prepare for the disorder. Personally, I believe the technology to help people find out if they are carrying or have a genetic disorder is absolutely amazing. The speaker we had in class informed us on how the system works and what a Genetic Counselor has to deal with in terms of patient care and follow up. There is a big responsibility as a counselor to make sure the child is well taken care of if he or she is diagnosed with a serious disorder such as sickle cell anemia, which she told us that it is one of the most common disorders they deal with.
