A PIECE OF NEWS (video)


Meeting the world's smallest primate

Tarsiers live in Philippines and some Scientists work for preserve their habitat.
Conservationists are worried that the animal's popularity with tourists may be damaging their welfare and environment.
This animal fit into the palm of a hand, but can leap five metres in a single jump. Eyes are
the biggest part of his body and they can turn his neck more than normally.
What is sad is that they can only live twelve months.


Well, I have tried this piece of news because I have been surprised when I have seen the animal.
I had never seen a thing like that so I'm interesting about tarsiers.
I believe that the protection some gives to these animals it's a positive thing but on the other hand I think we have to leave the nature takes his own way.


I recommend to you to watch the video.

A piece of news ( Blood Test May Reduce Biopsies After Transplants)

Summary:
A company in Brisbane says that exist a text called AlloMap which consists on a blood test that analyzes genetic activity to find out if there coulf be rejection after a heart transplant. Some doctors say the test is efficient but when the new technology was aplied, it didn't give good results, so nowadays doctors continue with biopsies, even though it is more expensive and complicated. ___


Although Science is very advanced, we have problems with a lot of things yet. For instance, here you have an example. Moreover microorganisem field isn't clear, we can't discover how to stop their quick proliferation. Also Science sometimes brings disasters, so who thinks our life depends on it, he or she makes a mistake.

Early treatment hope for tinnitus (news)

Hello guys!

Today I am going to give to you my opinion about a scientific peace of news.

Nowadays the world is full of acoustic pollution and is normal that the people who live in it suffer auditive trouble, often grave.
Sometimes we are the only responsables for these problems because we turn on the music too loud or we use earphones too long. All these little things are which put in danger our health. Now a part from thhis, when we are born start to hear a lot of terrible sounds and slowly our ears get hurt.

On my own it is necessary for someone to come up with some treatment but more than anything else we have to reduce the volume because if we don't do it then the treatment won't be efficient.
The last option would be to forbid disco's, MP3...
We must be concious about what is tinnitus because if we had this illness we would have strong difficulties.

Do you know somebody who has some of these type of problems?

ANIMAL CRUELTY AND FREE SPEECH (NEW) New york times

All 50 states have laws against animal abuse but nowadays in all countries there is animal abuse. It's a pity that animal cruelty even exists.
Often on the TV there is news about torture of animals.

In my view the laws against this type of things should be more strict because only giving fines and sending them to prision isn't enough. Somebody should change the law. I would punish these people torturing them, because then, they would know what is animal abuse.
I don't understand how there are people who enjoy watching animals being tortured and killed. I know about a family who live in Fortia, actually on my street and they sometimes prepared cockerel to fight or dogs to fight. They don't give food to their animals and moreover the animals are tied up.
Somebody should lock them up.
How you can see I am totally against animal abuse. If you think it is funny, you have to know there are other things to do without killing dogs, for example, If you like causing harm then go and bang your own head against a wall.

NEWS-


After Cosmetic Surgery, the 'Do Over'


I have read the article and I have felt happy because somebody is finally talking about the reality of the plastic surgery world.

In this news two women talk about their experiences on surgeries. Both are displeased with the doctors because they didn’t warn them about the consequences or about the follow ups that women need to do every year or in some cases monthly. Moreover one of them had to have surgery more than once to obtain good results.

In my opinion all these people who work in these types of jobs haven’t got a heart because they only think about money and they don’t mind the ordeal of other people.
The problem is that nobody can record the complications because nobody has access to the information of the plastic surgery to show the reality of all that.

Furthermore I am angry because a lot of times there are people who really need plastic surgery because she or he had an accident and surgeons say: oh sorry you have to wait because there is a waiting list. It is incredible because they haven’t got feelings.

For a better future we could make a review of all these companies or private clinics to make sure our mental and physical health are safe. We have to be careful about all that not to waste money on those unmoral doctors so we get a good result minimally guaranteed and we don’t have to go back to the clinic because we are not satisfied with what they did.

Some surgeons say that if you give up to this type of surgeries, they can’t assure you that you will be completely satisfied, this is their excuse.

This must change to end up with this problem!
