From: JOEGILPIN@aol.com
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 16:46:14 -0400 (EDT) Subject: (no subject) To: carterjs@uc.edu Regarding newsnotes from Gwen Gilpin [1] Ger WArfare Tests postponed : This is also the aticle that I picked to submit. I don't feel that companies should be permitted to do this in uncontrolled environments ever. They should set up inside facilities that can be completely controlled and stopped immediately if a problem arose. I do not want to be a ginneypig for anything I don't chose and no one else should have to be either. [2] Breast Augmentation: Even though I feel that every person, especially women have a right to chose what they do with their bodies, this is very dangerous. I don't feel it should be oulawed but have strict guidelines and extensive teaching done with the patients before the surgery. Every side effect possible should be explained in detail. Also, I feel that their should be alot more research done to see the longterm effects of foreign objects in your body over longterm. [3] New policy favors most critical transplant patients: I feel that this is good that more people get saved, however I do wonder if the organs shouldn't benefit the people in that area that the organs came from. We get closer and closer in the medical field to playing god. I wonder, is god going to mind when he comes back? [4] Banish Bad breath with Kitchen spices: This seems like a joke to most people but from one who lives with someone who has bad breath, it would definitely be worth a try. It also makes me feel better that it is all natural and not expensive. I will let you know if it works. [5] Experts, Breast implants should come with warning: I totally agree with this and am excited to hear that it is coming from scientists. At least we are getting closer to getting the actual medical doctors to feel this way. They need to completely inform their clients of the risks and the facts that they don't know the long term effects and how long the implants will last intact in your body. [6] Thalidomide, notoriuos past, promising future: This is very interesting to me in that my grandfather has macular degeneration and at present their are no real treatments for thid diesease. It is very sad and hard just to sit and watch him loose his eyesight. He has always been a very active person and wants to continue that way if given the chance. I will be checking with his eye specialist regarding this treatment and will let you know what happens. [7] Lead exposure may lead to millions of extra cavities in children: I was surprised to see this and it is hard grasp how many children are still affected by lead exposure. Working downtown and seeing all of the old buildings people still live in, I should have realized what a big problem this could be. I think more research should be done and target the high risk kids and and get them some help. These children already have so many things stacked against them because of their circumstances, we need to help them in any way possible. These are our leaders of tomorrow and who will be taking care of us when we are old. [8] Engineered fish is county's canary: I was so surprised by this easy, inexpensive, safe way of detecting contaminated water. Can't wait for them to start using it. I would be happy to contribute money and even help with fundraising to get this project off the ground. [9] Glucose watch: Amazed once again! Working in the healthcare field I see firsthand how tedious painful it is for diabetics to check their blood sugars 7-9 times per day. Can you imagine sticking yourself nine times per day besides insulin shots not to mention the time and expense. I think this is a wonderful breakthrough and has been a long time coming. Hopefully it will be passed by the FDA soon and that it will be afordable enough so that most diabetics can take advatage of it. [10] Colon cancer vaccine: Again working in the healthcare field this is very exciting to me. I have taken care of cancer patients and see the pain and suffering they endure and would embrace anything that could help them. Also on a selfish note, the statistics of 1 in 4 persons will get cancer before they die is enough to hope that they make huge strides in cancer research in the near future. I would like to hear more about thisd and will have to research it on my own. I think this is a very worthwhile project and I got to learn about alot of new researches being done that I would have missed just looking on my own. I look forward to the next set of newsnotes to learn more. thank you, Gwen Gilpin signing off, see you in class. |
