Freedom

Prejudice is still very prevalent in our present society given due to existing patriarchalism and conservatism.  Prejudice called any form of judging without knowing, and worse still when they do not want to know and learn, having more bases and sources.  Given that, many individuals are still in the famous "closet" for fear their choices are the fruits of conflict, prejudice, bullying and can not be themselves.  Therefore, I believe that every form of love is considered just.  Saying Machado de Assis "the way to love does not matter, the important thing is to love."  Let's be free to do what you want, choose what you want !!

A New Test Predicts When You’ll Die (Give or Take a Few Years)

And insurance companies are already interested. Soothsaying was once a fringe pursuit — the purview of psychics, subway cranks, and speed-addicted sci-fi novelists. Today, it’s big business. Abetted by new technology, thousands of salaried STEM types are now engaged in figuring out the future.

How DNAtix Is Transforming The Genetics Industry

Genomics has finally hit the blockchain, and with it comes an exciting new opportunity to store, transfer and utilize your DNA in an entirely new way. Before, lack of privacy was one of the biggest hurdles for many people wanting to have their genomic data recorded or tested, but thanks to blockchain technology, anyonewill be able to securely upload partial or full genome sequences with the DNAtix platform.   “DNAtix is offering a new level of privacy l by testing highly sensitive DNA data with the first blockchain ecosystem solution for anonymous genetic services,” said Ofer A. Lidsky, DNAtix CEO and CTO. “Anonymity and the fact that the client owns his genetic information will help so many people really utilize genetics testing and research.”

A Machine Gets High Marks for Diagnosing Sick Children

Will artificial intelligence be your next ER doctor? The average wait times in U.S. emergency rooms top two hours, leaving both clinicians and patients to feel the pain of an overburdened system. Many a parent has endured those hours with a distressed child, triaged out for lack of urgency…

Will Personalized Medicine Help or Harm Us?

Sian Abrahams’ mother was only 46 when she died of breast cancer. A few years later, her father died of bowel cancer at the age of 76. Her half-brother developed skin cancer. When Abrahams’ older sister was diagnosed with cancer of the peritoneum — a rare cancer closely linked to cancer of the ovaries — Abrahams sought out her family practitioner, who referred her to a geneticist. He carried out a test on Abrahams and her sister to determine whether they carried mutations on the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, both of which carry a substantially increased risk of breast cancer and other cancers in women. The results didn’t arrive for months. And then, at that first appointment, based on her family history alone, Abrahams was told she had a one in two chance of developing cancer. “That’s when I made the decision to have the hysterectomy,” Abrahams says. She found a surgeon willing to perform an operation to remove her ovaries, cervix, and uterus, sending her straight into menopause. “Because

The Father of DNA Says He Still Believes in a Link Between Race, Intelligence. His Lab Just Stripped Him of His Titles.

“The Nobel Prize-winning scientist said he still believes what he said in 2007, that “all our social policies are based on the fact that African intelligence is the same as ours—whereas all the testing says not really.”                                 Five years ago, James Watson, one of the fathers of DNA, tried to sell his Nobel Prize because people thought he was a racist.              Watson, who won the prize in 1962 for outlining the double-helix structure of DNA, wanted to offer penance for the comments that brought his reputation crashing down in 2007. That year, the scientist told Britain’s Sunday Times that he was “gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because he believed African intelligence was genetically lower than that of Europeans. Watson never lived the comments down, telling the Financial Times in 2014 that he believed the backlash had made him  an“unperson.”      But if he had been trying to change his reputation on the topic of race, on Friday it became app
