Final Biology Assignment August 13th

Post a brief paragraph describing why you chose your Research Topic-

-The Science of Geo-engineering-
My topic of choice was inspired by what I saw in one of our traditional ceremonial prayers- ...7 years ago- the vision: a picture started appearing like a film... and I noticed that the clouds that appeared in the sky were not of mother earth-but man made...,there were increased jets and small airline aircrafts that released white particles and fell like a snow-flakes and  over time it continued to fall over every living system, changing the life cycle of  plants, animals,oceans, deserts and  people became more aware as these flakes fell over their homes...These Zig-Zag lines kept the sun light from penetrating its rays...and the east coast became colder as west was starving for rain...in this vision I heard " Its man made and so are earthquakes and sink-holes do not be afraid and when these things happen as well as other things to come be available to help and offer warmth to those that do not see what is coming"- I did not know what to make of this vision so started to do research and shared it with people...and gently adviced them to store water, food, and basic necessities for a period of 6 months...

After this vision I started to research about what the zig-zag lines meant and the particles that were within it- and the research came to unfold as the science of Geo-engineering and it went further to nano-technology and trans-humanism-, I am not a scientist but was able to understand how the intentional alteration of climate have raised concerns related to politics, policy,  governance, and ethics. ,  what propels scientist to go to extreme and epic measures  to begin spaced based and solar engineering approaches is from the fear of the consequences of increased atmospheric C02 and other greenhouse gases... since it exerts a radiative forcing on the climate system by making more difficult for heat to escape to space. Because C02 emissions have climate consequences lasting many thousand years such emissions have been considered to cause climate change on time-scale that are relevant to most human activities..So most of the carbon dioxide removal approaches (CDR) methods have only marginal potential to affect atmospheric CO2 this century....thus, neither solar geo-engineering nor CDR can provide the certain reduction in cutting greenhouse emissions...

-as these climate changes occur- nature and man -made...I recommend that people begin to continue to conduct their own research and to meditate on the information they receive via-meditation or by their own knowledge base- I hope we can all learn that this issue is bigger than us and we can prepare ourselves and others about cutting unnecessary green house emission activities and having at least 6-12 months of food, water, and basic necessities in the event that one has to relocate....

Vaccinations and Public Health

-Should Parents take a more active role in immunization schedule?-

I would recommend for parents to consult with their children's pediatrician or other health care provider..... to discuss and to build their knowledge base regarding the series of immunizations
..taking an active role takes many forms, each parent can delegate a task to each other to conduct their own research before they have their child vaccinated.

-Would you support making vaccination program -obligatory?

As a healthcare provider I am required by law to have all immunizations updated or my license to practice is not-reactivated. Other professionals that work in the same medical facility are also required to receive vaccinations but they have the option to wear a mask all year round or take the vaccination series. In the state of New York you are not employed in any medical facility without the vaccination series...

Do I support the law mandated approach? Some of the side effects activate other medical issues such as existing allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders...ect., so if a person with a delicate immune-constitution decides to work in a facility that is mandated by the state to receive yearly vaccinations, perhaps that is not the environment to work in..

If it becomes a federal law- that can become a political issue....

Week 12 Cell biology and Radioactivity

-Post your thoughts on one of our class discussion-

It was interesting to note that over the course of this month a few doctor's who were infected with the Ebola virus-  arrived from West Africa and were transferred to a Atlanta hospital -a facility that is regulated and monitored by the CDC- the doctors were placed in a tight control setting where the negative air pressure keeps the virus contained.. and are receiving vaccines that remain off the market..

After discussing the" No Market: Scientists Struggle t make Ebola Vaccines, treatments," I struggled with the fact that the people in Africa are receiving the bare minimum of care... Ebola is unpredictable and I often wonder if its being utilized again for other reasons...such as population control...if that was not the case ....then ..why would they not receive the same treatment like the doctors that were transferred to the United States? I believe that this is a bigger issue. Now.. the interesting thing to keep track of is the prognosis and treatment outcomes for the doctors in Atlanta...if they recover....you will have to wonder as well....WHY NOT SAVE OTHERS?
