BP#9 Finalreflection on HeLa

            After I read HeLa’s book I know that we don’t have any law for doctors take our cells to do some research without tell me. I think I should be retroactively compensated.  They need my cells to do significantly benefit science. They must tell me before they do a research. If they didn’t, I fell that my personal privacy was violated. I think there may have laws about this. Therefore, contributing to science and research is also important. Now, we have many medical for us when we get sick, because they do many researches for a long time. It can help many people’s health. So I think contributing to science and research is more important than my own tissue.

Bp#8 Going Green Again

There are three things I can change in my lift to "go greener", I have collect aluminum cans and plastic bottle to redeem for cash at a stop shop supermarket. I use a water filter to purify tap water instead at home. And we are making our own cleaning produces.

People in my country they are thinking about going green as much as American, but they are usually making their own cleaning produces and they don't use dryer to dry clothes so much. Companies get limit electricity from the government at summer.

I  am really surprised that pay bills online can help going green. I think it just can save time and make people easier to pay the bill.

Summary

   Many people have been hurt by credit card. There are many reasons about this. People are lack of knowledge and correct information about credit, then they don’t understand the implication of amassing large debt. Students can obtain application forms for credit card on college premises. They don’t provide detailed information about this credit card, they will become a problem when they pay it off. Many institutions have been involved in misrepresenting the problems. Young people must learn as much as possible about credit. And parents must teach their children about credit care.

   Questions:

   I agree with the stance of this article. Parents need to teach their children about credit card. My cousin, who bought a car with a loan from a bank. He has three kids. He need pay for his kids tuition, he need pay the rent, food and so on. He doesn’t have any money to pay this car loan. So his car was tow away by the bank.

   People need to learn how to use a credit card in a good way. Think about your financial ability to repay the loan before take it out. In my country, there don’t have many people use credit card. People like use cash. People can buy a house or a car without credit. And a house is very important for a family. Everyone is care about their house. They must have enough money to buy it. They don’t like have a loan from bank in my country. Don’t like here.

BP#6

Immortal Hala cells, it’s the human body is that we composed primary of germs.  I am never aware of this history before reading HeLa’s book. Gey who is Hela’s doctor. He didn’t tell her family about he do some researches about HeLa. As I know, a patient should know doctors do some research from them. Even though, some people inability to understand.

 In my country, doctors can’t do some research without tell their practice. Doctors must tell their practice what happen after they agree the informed consent. If they don’t tell them, their practice can accuse them. If doctors research make their practice die without tell them. It can take doctors to a jail and cancel their license.

 Today in the U.S doctors and researchers could not do any bad things with their practices, because there are some laws about it. At that time, there hadn’t have laws about this. Many doctors did research without tell them. Like HeLa, and john Moore. This is very cruel for patients. Today, we strengthen the medical equipment, and strengthen laws for medical research. I think we don’t have doctors like Gey. We are more saving now.

BP#5 mini essay

School lunch is very important for students. One of three children is overweight. So, what kind food does they eat is important. Their parents and schools must choose some health food to them, because they don’t what is the health food. Congress should decisions about school lunches.

Fried food, pizza and burgers are make children getting fat. There have many health problems if they are overweight, like high triglycerides. Find a weight loss program to them is expensive and it is a long term. Children will not cooperate with it. It’s toilsome to them.

School meal should change pizza, burgers to vegetable. Green food  can help children have a happiness and health childhood.

Government must decision about school lunches  for children to play good health foundation, that they can have a healthy environment to study. Their  parents relieved to go to work. They may not worry about their kids are overweight.

BP#4 Going Green

·        When I shop for food, its sustainability was never an issue for me because there was always a lot of food in the supermarket.

·        I try to reduce my carbon footprint. I bring my own shopping bage. I try not use plastic bage.

·        I do not have access but i wish I do because organic food are health for me.

·        I do not have time to grow my own food. So I have to get food from supermarket. And this supermarket get their food from factories, this factories are threat to environment interims of air  quality. 

BP #3 - Mini Research on HeLa themes:Medical research / cancer research in the 1940s / 1950s

 

    As with everything in life, great things are always encountered by obstacles before they can achieve ultimate success.  The cure for cancer will be the same.  The first successful cancer clinic was conducted by a group of scientists and doctors in the summer of 1934; however, this success was covered up by cancer research authorities with orthodox views for the next few decades.  Every time there was a new research presented that supported the view of those first group of scientists and doctors, the cancer research authorities managed to stop it from spreading to the public.  However, “laboratory proof after laboratory proof convincingly demonstrated that the orthodox theories of the cancer authorities who dominated virus and bacteria research as well as cancer treatment in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s were fundamentally wrong.”  When will the time for the suffering to stop begin?

      

       Our society have made significant improvement in the field of researching for drugs to treat cancer.  When people hear the word “cancer”, they usually think about the limited amount of time they have left.  The treatment that they go through is painful.  Half century ago, cancers were usually treated with surgery and radiation because there were only small selection of drugs available for treatment.  As time and effort were put into researching for improvement in this field, more drugs becomes available to patients with the diseases.  Drugs such as Mechlorethamine and Cyclophosphamide were the result of these researches.  The development of better cancer treatment definitely improved the quality of life for patients with cancer.  “During the early 1950s, the overall cure rate for cancer was 33%.  In 1976, half of all cancer patients survived more than 5 years after diagnosis. In 2005, closer to two thirds are alive 5 years after they learn they have cancer.”
