Are you a ciber allergic?

Headaches, vomit, nausea and loss of short term memory are only some of the symptoms caused by an unknown and modern affliction that has been disturbing people for some years now, and even though it has not been certified by the World Health Organization, it seems to be here to stay for a long time and turn into a XXI century disease.

The “Wi-Fi allergy”, as it is known, is explained by an electro sensitivity caused by a prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields but as is has not been worldwide certified, people who suffer from this are restricted to treat only the symptoms and do not joy the medical facilities every ill person should. Some of the testimonies reflect that it starts by being affected by waves emanated from the wireless router, but after a long period of exposure even the TV or anything that’s plugged can cause a reaction such as the already named.

Other of the reasons why it has not been formally considered is because, according to experts’ opinions, this type of exposure reduces considerably the production of serotonin in the brain; serotonin is a natural anti-depressive, so its low production can cause tiredness and sometimes sadness, reason why this electro sensitivity can also be mistaken as stress or depression in some cases.

It is also important to say that this modern disease appears at any stage of life so you better start setting boundaries with your technological gadgets before is too late, don’t you think so?

Human Reproductive Cloning: Today, an irresponsible idea.

Have you ever heard about Dolly, the sheep? If you have not, I can tell you that Dolly was the first mammal cloned. In 1997, a group of Scottish scientists succeeded in cloning this sheep using adult cells from another sheep. When Dolly was born, she was genetically identical to her mother, and she didn’t need a father to be procreated. With her mother’s DNA was enough!

Cloning has been a huge step in science. In Human Cloning, therapeutic cloning produces cloned cells from adults to be used in medicine; so this should be promoted because many lives can be saved because of it. However, reproductive cloning should be banned because involves the unnatural creation of cloned humans.

In Reproductive Cloning, the cloned embryo is implanted to the uterus of a female host, where it stays and develops until its birth. The problem is that there is a huge probability of failing: many of the clones would die in the gestation process, which would be a risk for the mother health. Also, cloned humans would have serious health issues because their cells are older in age. Most of them would birth with anomalies that sooner would make them die. Their life expectancy is not as longer as a natural human being.

Reproductive cloning would kill the sense of individuality. In addition, this type of cloning would develop the thinking of the human being as something material and manipulated.

This process should be banned in order to protect those “cloned lives”. It would be irresponsible to clone human knowing the risks. The cloning process should be improved, and maybe then, it could be a possibility for procreation, or at least, for human creation.
