Urinating A Lot And Stomach Pains

Cancer

ultrasecuenciación techniques of the human genome has allowed a major breakthrough for medical research: sequencing an individual genome. This process, which once took months of work and an investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, can now be carried out in three days and costs around four thousand. Time and amount to further decline in the future.

One of the applications is in oncology. To be the cancer multiple different diseases will be achieved through this method to put "name" to a tumor, so that its diagnosis, treatment and prognosis will be much more effective. Not a guarantee of cure at the moment, but it greatly increases the chances of it to be able to establish a personalized therapy based on the analysis of the genetic characteristics of tumor cells. However, this discovery is not using the network of public health because of their "high" cost.

Moreover, in Spain and taking its origin in the different administrations, are intended in subsidies to bullfighting about 560 million per year, not to add what bullfighting schools are designed to educate children and youth in the fight.

If we divide the figure represents money in the budgets used to ensure the continuation of bullfighting - they alone are not viable economically - from the current price of genome sequencing, we found that with those items assigned to the bullfighting industry each year could be applied to medical technology that 140,000 patients with cancer, which kills about 100,000 people in our country during the same period.

No guarantees, again, the cure, but there are greater possibilities shown to extend life expectancy, and many scientists belonging to both foreign and English research centers and have published, so use still no absolute certainty of success would be as justified as when someone takes a TAC into a coma after an accident or surgery was a victim with serious burns. No one says his salvation, but no effort and expense is spared to use known science.

Now, given the numbers, each one reflects on what happens in Spain and what should be our reaction. We live in a place where you have enough money to spend on public killing thousands of bulls, but it turns out we do not have to spend on an extraordinary scientific breakthrough that could save thousands of lives. Is it acceptable?
