Seminar 1 30.01.2012

During the first seminar the requirements, syllabus and evaluation criteria of the spring term were introduced. For more information see the course syllabus in ÕIS in the folder "Irina Koksharova VM spring 2012" the name of the file "KE.0027 part 2 spring 2012".

That was followed by a group discussion: “What do I expect from this course” (groups of 4-5) and compiling a list of 4 expectations supported by an argument. The expectaions were presented to the class.

Finally, also in groups, the students did some exercises of the revision of the Tenses in the English language. The link to the exercise can also be found in ÕIS, in the same folder.

Assignment 1: Each group of 4 or 5 posts 4 expectations for the course on the blog (VetsMed) – 05.02.2012

Assignment 2: 5 most complicated collocations from your presentations, the collocation should be translated into Estonian and posted on the blog AND sent to the lecturer’s e-mail – 06.02.2012

To do or not to do? Why we have not cloned human yet?

I try to find answers, what are possibilities of cloning, shoud it be allowed or not? And in what extent we can „play god“?

Thus, allowed or not? Patrly I support cloning, because it would help to make essential next step for science of medicine. Human cloning should not be major aspect of this discipline, but I endore therapeutic cloning to find a cure to an incurable diseases nowdays as Alzheimer's, cancer, and other diseases.

Introduction.

Ideas of cloning?

How far are roots of idea to make artificial intellect?

What is cloning and different types of cloning?

People usually have imagination that cloning is like copying of paper with copying machine and only possibilty of cloning are whole individual. Unknowing real course of events and different types of cloning.

What are the risks of cloning and results currently?

For now, there are many organisms which has been already cloned, like tadpole, sheep, goats, cows, mice, pigs, cats, rabbits, and a gaur. But to reach current results, the scientists has failed several times.

Most common fears (and comments) and are they justified?

Kilner said: "To subject human beings to cloning is not taking an unknown risk, it's knowingly harming people,"

[John Kilner, president of the Centre for Bioethics and Human Dignity in the United States]

Sloth (Folivora)

These slow moving mammals are from South-America and they belong to the Pilosa-order with anteaters. Sloths have six species, four in Three- toed and two in Two-toed sloth family.

Sloths eat very low energy and nutrition containing leaves that are poorly digestible. That is why sloths have large and specialized in stomach where symbiotic bacteria break up the leave material. The digestive process can even take as much as one month and the stomach contents can weigh up to two third of the weight of sloth.

Because the poor food sloths have to use energy very economically, that is why they have slow metabolism. Sloths are so slow movers that they can grow algae in their fur! Another specialty is that they grow their fur upside down from toes to back because they are so adapted living hanging in trees. They also have very strong and long claws for protection and hanging from trees spending as little energy as possible.
