Week 2 Human intent as it affects health

My thoughts on human intent and its affects on health is that people have to put forth an effort to maintain good health. We all know basic thing that can help us stay healthy scubas exercising, low stress, and easting well. The environment we live in is just as important as us maintaining our personal  health. If we live in an unhealthy environment it will cause us to become unhealthy. When we restore health to out environment people will become healthier.

Week 3 Would you support the development of a "bionic" person?

I would support the development of a bionic person if its for a good reason. For example if a person was injured in an accident like robocop. I think that a person should be able to live as much of a normal life as possible. If the medical technology is available to help people I think it should be utilized. If I lost an arm in an accident I would be the first one in line to get a replacement. Although we may not need this technology to much longer because research is being conducted on human regeneration.

Would your view change if this were for military purpose?

It depends on the situations if a soldier was injured serving and they needed to become "bionic" to live close to a normal life I would support it. If the military would like to harness this technology to use as a weapon I think it would be a negative thing.  If this technology is use to help people it is a good thing but if it is used as a weapon that is bad.

Week 2 What Conclusions can you draw from Kirlian photography?

I think the concept of Kirlian photography is very interesting. Although I do not fully believe that this technique is 100% valid. I agree with portion of the article that states an objects aura should disappear when an organism dies. Lastly I do find it highly fascinating that this technique has been used in the detection of cancer at a sporadic rate.

Week 2 Acupuncture as effective energy medicine

Acupuncture is effective energy medicine because it focuses on qi. Which is a form of energy. There are many forms of qi in the human body. Acupuncturist place needles in specific points on the body to restore the proper flow of energy.  I think acupuncture is valid and effective form of energy medicine.

Week 1 My thoughts on tonights discussion.

One of the topics that caught my attention in tonight's discussion was about how to decide if people are conscious or not. I found the research interesting because the researcher used electroencephalograms to conduct the research. Electroencephalograms are traditionally one of the main test used to detect epilepsy and other disorder in the brain. The result the researchers found from the experiment varied because some people had little to no response to the test but later appeared to be fully conscious.

Week 1 I Know I'm a "living system" because...

I know that I am living system because I have the ability to move. I am composed of cells. I also met the criteria that defines living vs non living systems. Lastly I have that ability to reproduce.

Week 9 Synthesizing Physics - " As above, so below"?

It is very difficult to synthesize the eastern view and western view of physics. The eastern approach to physics in my opinion is similar to classical physics. The current western view of physics is more relative to modern physics.
