Drugs that prolong the life


In China it was discovered a substance that prolong life.
After fifteen years of studies, researchers from the towns of Wuhan and Zhuang, managed to create a drug that would extend the life of the people.

This new drug is based on statistical data obtained from the region Zhuang in Guangxi, which has many residents who have exceeded one hundred years of life. What we found was that Chinese scholars in the body of the Zhuang people that exceeded the century, there was a bacteria "bifida", whose presence proved to be a hundred times greater than in other elderly people who live in other regions of the country .

Furthermore, investigations revealed that the number of bacteria in healthy people bífidas is fifty times higher than with the sick. Based on these organisms developed a drug, which is already available in pharmacies of the eastern country, which opens more hope to prolong life beyond the hundred.

Extraterrestrial ecosystems in Europe

Much of the Astrobiology believe that the best place in the Solar System where to look for extraterrestrial life is Europe, one of the major moons of Jupiter discovered by Galileo in 1610.

The measurements of its magnetic field by the Galileo probe seem to confirm that the satellite is coated by a layer of ice and salt water about 100 km thick.

It is precisely in this vast ocean where he hopes to find bodies, perhaps around hydrothermal vents similar to those found in the bed of sea land.

Richard Greenberg, a researcher at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona, suspicion, however, that the ice covering Europe is much thinner from what was thought until now.

After analysing the data sent by the Galileo mission, Greenberg cree which did not have more than 10 km thick. Thus, the biological niche that would not be restricted to the ocean bottom.

In areas where ice is fragmentation could prosper life forms dependent on sunlight, and even creatures like jellyfish in the ocean currents.

Without dust no life

The powder can also be beneficial. In fact, it is essential: the Sun and other stars were beginning dusty, when microscopic particles joined together to form the Solar System. When the stars die, with the dust that are made will give life to a new generation.

On Earth, dust is important. To begin with, if the planet was completely clean, it would be very hot and humid. Without it, the water vapor to condense not begin until the relative humidity reaches 300%.

It would have almost no dust clouds, since water vapor sticks to the surfaces of granite dust. And fair weather, the heat would be unbearable.
Over billions of years of rock dust of the desert has nurtured some of the more desolate regions of the world, carrying iron and nutrients.

On glaciers, for example, the dust comes as a catering service, for such forms of life that most extremophile known. Even within the glaciers there is life that thrives thanks to dust in the oceans and increasing the productivity of plankton.

Desires of being immortal - eternal life

In the second half of the century, the advances of the technology allowed the physicians to have an index of technological interventions without precedents. The life of the critical sick persons was never extended in form imagined, and the technology made blurred the dividing line between this and the other life. The teams of resuscitation have the capacity to return to this life to "dead" or almost dead people for coronary acute jam now, pulmonary embolism, rupture of aneurysms or you asphyxiate for immersion.

Created this way a certain illusion of immortality (Woody Allen "I said I don't want to be immortal for my works; I NOT want to be immortal DYING), the life of the moribund ones was extended with the help of the technology to borders that soon generated a contrary angry reaction.
In a polemic article it was expressed with indignation that to "maintain alive indefinitely to the advanced cancer patients it is condemnable", and you showed up to the death like the friend that it "provide a decent exit and dignified for a man in the twilight period of the life." Because truly the act of dying had become a solitary act, mechanic, dehumanized. And until YIlich one of your famous dictums rushed:
"The medicalización of the Society has ended with the era of the natural" death.

That it is the Faith an Existential Explained Doubt

A possible explanation of an existential doubt....
Many philosophers and enough well-known theologians have hugged the idea that the faith is the base of all knowledge. An example is San Agustín. One of their key contributions to the philosophy was the idea of using the faith to be able to understand, settled down by Agustín in their statement "Crede, ut intelligas" (he/she "Believes, so that you can understand." This statement overflows the realm of the religion, to embrace the entirety of the knowledge. In essence, the faith should be present, to end up knowing anyone thing. In other words, it should be assumed, to believe or to have faith in the credibility of a person, place, thing or he/she devises, with the purpose of having a base for the knowledge.

I develop of the knowledge in the children.
An illustration of this concept is in the development of the knowledge in the children. A boy, in their first years the input source of information is controlled by the parents, not having opportunity neither test to be able to contrast other fonts. In those years the parents teach him/her their method of contrast of the reality, inheriting the bases of what their progenitors understand as good and bad. If in the family environment a wild constant violation exists of what is good and bad, the boy it won't be able to work appropriately outside of its family environment. The discipline establishes the bad securities, while it reinforces the good ones. An unconscionable discipline, based on emotions, alone attentive against the boy's emotional integrity, and in occasions until it could attempt against the physical integrity.

The objective of the teaching of the parents, is to endow the boy of the capacity of establishing its own faith based on its own test, bony, to endow him/her of approach and contrast capacity or in other words, to teach him/her to believe with approach.

When the boy matures, the quality of the teaching is demonstrated by the capacity to go manufacturing and/or modifying the old ones, demonstrating capacities of adaptation and survival. Therefore, the boy begins with the default values 'installed' for the parents, this it will serve as filter through which another teaching will be processed and/or it will evaluate. Following this reasoning line, and assuming that a boy has an empiric petty or limited knowledge, the knowledge that ends up having has a fundamental base in the faith.

Credulity and faith:
The adults believe in that the authorities are appropriately enabled to run with quality their work, although in the news they occur formless that they violate or they should violate that belief in a constant way. Since there is not a better alternative, it is trusted in that in some future moment, the authorities realize the social serious damage that bears to administer the power based on interior approaches and partidístas (in the best in the cases), leaving to a side the true interests of the citizens.

The vehement insistence, beyond the demonstration of the facts, in behaving in certain way, hoping the repetition causes effect some under the current conditions, propitiating a change without knowing like it will happen; he/she is named credulismo. You could name faith, if in some last moment, effectiveness has been demonstrated in the use of the authority. Lacking time and/or of petitions to evaluate the whole knowledge that one has exhaustive and empirically, favorable the credulity for desperation, demonstrating to certain grade that there is not difference practice between religion and politics.

The religious knowledge
In origin, as much the scientific knowledge as the religious leave of the same thing: Last facts that establish truths observables for the human relative understanding to a time. The difference settles down with the step of the time. The religion tries of 'to freeze' those truths, reason to be about conserving what was patent in a past and it doesn't stop to be about incorporating new standards of adapted reasonings to the mean. When they find the logic that justifies to conserve the same knowledge, their desire it is reinforced to grant to a power higher to the man that revelation and, to want that that power considers that eternally good knowledge.

When the mean changes it subjects the individuals to new wears, so much physical as emotional. In those instants it is when the religion of the science is distanced. The religion searches as making perpetual a demonstrated knowledge certain in a time without keeping in mind the change of the mean.

The complexity of some philosophical set forth vericuetos to conserve the consistent integrity of the dogmatic system, convinces the devote religious that its faith is true and eternal. On the other hand, every time they are more people that observe that those vericuetos doesn't contribute practical solutions to their quotidian lives; it is in that point where two types of different behaviors appear: The consistent (tendente to the change) behavior and the credulous (tendente to the fanaticism) behavior.

Factors that can intervene
The rational force
If the faith is born of an assumption, he/she unites it with evidences of the past and a reasonable support for which a prospective result settles down, he/she will wake up in the person a yearning touch that will induce it to act to procure that waited. Therefore, he/she will give an interior cautious force that will try to make sure that the conditions are the ideals, as a result and mainly and the most important thing, possesses domain of the reason on their acts. To this respect it is not an interior raw force that he/she is born and it is not known as.

The will is the expression of works for the satisfactory explanation to our convincing. In our trust he/she leaves in the premises, assumptions and/or suppositions that will allow us falsar the knowledge. Although, our will will be null before a non satisfactory position from the rational point of view.
The hope is the yearning that one has to see resolute and concluded a work. This work is subject to a method that in turn you subject to a theory.
The belief is the part of good will that we put when working. If this condition one doesn't give, the person would deny her cooperation.

The moral force
It is what a person sustains in the social mean of the quotidian life.
If the faith is not born like interior force, but rather simply one accepts the authority of a person directly for some type of morbid fear to be punished or to win the engaged remuneration. In this case the force is born of the person's own will. This submission type, has long term, and of being violated the initial (well the rules for which it is punished or the rules for which it is rewarded) promise, to the attrition and lost of the faith and/or the absolute forfeiture of the submission. Case that the person persists in even sustaining that faith more hallá of the pulsión that allows him/her to undergo, one runs the risk of making sick. If these bases are not violated, the person will continue healthy and satisfied of observing that her effort serves as something (well for not being punished and/or well to be rewarded, the same bases that they are used in the training of any other animal). Of this submission he/she is born the faith like religious tenet.

Moral will is the expression of our acts for the trust in that that applied will be of benefit for others. This attitude leaves of a healthy, satisfied person I get same and relatively happy.
Esperanza morals is the expression of our acts for the trust that we will obtain a morally in agreement environment to what we settle down as good, adjusting our behavior, since you/he/she is the morally correct thing.
Moral belief is the firm conviction, beyond any argument that seeks to persuade us of satisfying us otherwise, expressing our acts for the trust that we will be pleasing somebody powerful and that this he/she will make what promises for that he/she has the power to make it.

The emotional force
If the faith is born of a desire, which has found a belief that supports him and adding him/her the force that contributes the approval grupal from a community to the self-esteem and the person's dignity, as well as of the absolute trust that the own individual confers to his own desires, he will give an interior raw force as a result without rational guideline.

The faith

* He/she is an immense don of God. We should be requested it
* It is worth more than the life
* The fair one lives off the faith (Rom 1, 17)
* To put in her all that we are, all that we wait, all that we love
* It maintains us in foot in the moments of obscurity
* Not it is a mere feeling of the appearance of God or of the will of God in our lives.
* It should penetrate and to wrap the whole person: Their trust, their fidelity, their emotional adhesion, their intellectual consent.
* The Christian vocation is absurd and incomprehensible without the faith
* Not to request to God tests
* Not to have him/her fear to the future because the Mr. it won't fail us
* Without her the life is sad and the impossible fidelity

In what to believe as members of the Church, and therefore to live consequently:

* To intensify the faith in the Church, as locus in quo God has put on to give fruits
* In that God speaks to us through Pope, the bishops and priests
* In the Christian spirit that springs from the Gospel, as the locus in quo is expressed for us the will of God, and to make it life of our life, accepting it with humility and meekness.
* That Christ has united mystically to each one of the Christian
* In ourselves and let us don't doubt of our capacity, dons and talents to carry out our commission
* In the fecundity of our heady lives to Christ's furrow
* In the transcendency and value of our handover to the souls

The faith is:

* To give us unconditionally
* To surrender blindly to God
* To allow us to conquer for their love for their lawsuit without making repairs
* To walk, to suffer, to fight, to fall and to get up being about you faithful to a God that he/she calls us and that we don't see
* "To rush in the darkness of the night, a star that one day saw continuing, although he/she doesn't know to where it will take me"
* Sobrellevar with happiness the confusions, the surprises, the fatigues and the frights of my fidelity
* To trust of God and to trust The
* Total adhesion, full with love to the sacred will of God
* Who gives value to the life, to the sufferings, to the difficulties, to everything
* That ember that illuminates and it heats in the most terrible fights in the life

Reason to believe:

Because we have of warranter of our lives, of our vocation and of our commission to God that is faithful.
Consequences of a faith languid mortecina, turned-off, weak, before the plans of God:

* Many problems
* Difficulties
* Crisis
* Temptations
* Remote mental before the Christian vocation
* Contempt of court before the cross
* Apathy before the commission
* Interior division, planning to believe in God but searching in the practice to only carry out our whims

Enemies of the faith:

* Formation ullage
* Abundance of rationalism
* Scientific formation full with prejudgments against all that is not verifiable and verifiable.
* To request to God tests and guarantees

The faith should be:

* Deep
* Lucid
* compromising
* Demanding
* Alive

Consequences of an alive and generous faith:

* Apostolic fruits
* Generosity, docility and maturity before the compromises and requirements of the Christian life
* To opt to leave to a side the selfishness and the attachment to the things of the world
* To be helpful, general purpose, delicate and kind with all
* Happiness when living for the faith with the on trust in God
* Humility and meekness for the will of God
* Carriers of happiness, peace and it thrills

Pair to raise the faith:

* A lot of sentence
* To cut with the rationalism
* To imitate María's example
