The best way to pass away
|
view preview
I have not given 'the best way to die' much thought yet, but apparently a leading doctor and the former editor of the prestigious British Medical Journal (BMJ) has claimed cancer is the best way to die. Dr. Richard Smith believes that cancer provides opportunity to reflect on life before it ends is important and urges charities and the medical world to "stop wasting billions trying to cure cancer". In a blog published in The BMJ, the doctor wrote that while most people tell him they would prefer a sudden death, he thinks that is very hard on the families of the deceased. "The long, slow death from dementia may be the most awful as you are slowly erased, but then again when death comes it may be just a light kiss," he wrote. "Death from organ f ...

Ghost heart

This is a 'ghost heart' it was soaked in an ingredient found in shampoo to wash away all the cells. This technique leaves a protein scaffold that can be injected with stem cells from a person who needs a transplant, guaranteeing that the transplant won't be rejected.

Can money buy happiness?
|
view preview
I really enjoyed the way the folks at ASAP Science break it down in this video. Long story short, if you want the best bang for your buck, spend your money on others, and stop spending money on material goods. Having a five-dollar latte can be more beneficial than buying a $100,000 Porsche.

The problem is, students have this misconception that if they are not sick, then the person they are sharing their drink with won't get sick either. Sounds rational, but is it true? Definitely not. Each person's immune system is unique, and so is our microbiome (as described in the video below). What may be harmless to one person may not be so much to another. I believe this video does an excellent job demonstrating that not only are humans unique in a sense that we each have our own personalities, have different occupations, and come from differe ...
