I think I watched the same news special.
That would be my attitude now- if I found out that I carried the gene I would wait until I have the children that I want so that I could feed them and then I'd have the procedure. I'd have a reconstruction afterwards- they look pretty real.
I think you need to assess your risk for all procedures. Even some diagnostic procedures have risks (x-rays, colonoscopies) so if you're not in a high risk group of the population for the disease then maybe getting tested isn't the best idea IMHO.
But you can be a very well-intentioned, non-dick person but have no redeemable knowledge or skills or insight.
If men and women split up a few skills that they have to know then they can specialise more instead of vaguely knowing it all. Much more practical for society.
Possibly because we do often know things that you don't (whether it's nature or nurture) and so can more easily see the effects of you not having this knowledge/skills. A chef can perhaps identify that a novice cook keeps failing because he doesn't have knowledge of the smoke points of different oils but the novice cook doesn't know what's going wrong.
Equally men should be able to identify some of the things that women should know. For example, men keep telling me that I should learn how to check my tire pressure- I didn't even know that people did this.
I have two great passions- Evidence-based practice and the pursuit of building a family.
My passionettes would include reading fiction, watching tv series, cooking, crafting and my giant puppy.
I think maybe we hit the nostalgia stage earlier on or maybe when those older than us became nostalgic they seem to us older than in their 20s even though they might not have been.
I do miss Clarissa Explains It All....
And I like that little exert.
I hear that the iPhone has an ebook app. I haven't personally experienced it because I'm too clumsy to own an iPhone but it sounds convenient enough to look into.
Well explained
Just to add a little piece of interesting info to this and correct just a teensy bit; the reason why it is hypothesized that cells can only replicate a limited number of times is because every time a cell replicates the telomeres get shorter. Telomeres are the little bits of repetitive DNA at the end of chromosomes that 'protect' the useful DNA in between. Cells become both 'less' and 'less healthy' as a result. Dolly, the famous cloned sheep didn't live very long- possibly because the cells she was cloned from already had shortened telomeres.
My question: How do prions reproduce? Could never get my head around that one...[EDIT: Now understood]
OMG that's gotta just smoosh the people inside!
I was looking into getting a smart car but the visibility isn't great. Maybe they didn't see the massive trucks...
I wasn't taking offense; I was merely curious because the person I responded to used the phrasing " What bothers me actually is" before talking about the existence of feminine gay males.
Meanwhile, heaps of articles come up if you do internet searches and science journal searches. All different theories of course but possibly all valid contributors.
Why does the existence of feminine gay males bother you? Why is it a bad thing if there are feminine or stylish males in the LGBT community? Take it in stride. Better style than any number of other things.
