It is a signal warning of harm.

Your response is mental. Hence when opiates like tramadol shut of the signa. Receptors you still feel the se station of pain. But do not suffer the same way.

Evolution wise. It makes sense for animals that cannot regrow limbs.

But for some animals it can actually limit their survival.

Unfortunatly human history. Has a habit of deciding based on our needs. Rather then actual evidence.

Its also worth remembering pain is a mental rather then real thing.

So while some creatures may have the signals to inform. Thjoer mind may not respond to it on the same way.

As a human(i assume ;). If you have ever needed to use opiates you may have some idea how that would work.

Yeah.

I would be genuinely interested to know of any nations. That use a truly accurate measure of poverty. Seems all nations are ashamed to have poor, but also wish to do little to help.

For all Russia’s faults. It’s not really different to the rest of the world.

Guessing. But if you did it at the hospital or with their equipment, yes.

In a home lab with your own equipment. Not so sure,

Seriosly the freedom of women in Afghanistan is a seriose issue. As it is in many places.

But Cats seems to be a very very bad example. Most of the world. With the exception of a few owners that keep them indoors.

They are the pet with the most freedom. More so then any human.

Unless she is specifically considering the female feline mating experience.

Agreed. And when data like this is shared by honest consideration. It can help with moral.

But the tittle here is extremely false. And the lack of science in headlines can be dangerous.

I have been T1d for over 40 years. I was promised by doctors in the 1980s that e were close to a cure. I have seen friends die because of that hope. IE, thinking the cure is so close they don’t need to worry.

I had been a T1d for nearly 20 years when science discovered the autoimmune issue. And I realised. Not only are we not close to a cure. But we have absolutely no idea how to address the immune system attacking our own pancreas.

At the time. Sure, doctors honestly believed transplants might work. So those kids that failed to treat it like a lifetime condition. Sorry for the error. But the advice was at least based on the best knowledge of the time.

Issue is I still see doctors claiming we are a few years from a cure, more than 40 years later. When absolutely no positive research exists covering a cure for the immune issue. This has lead to a whole generation of T1ds like me and my brother who find articles like this insulting and dangerous. As we have seen, the harm false hope can cause.

Honestly, promise of better treatment is way more viable than promise of an unknown cure. When I was diagnosed, portable blood testing was impossible. Urine tests once a day was the best w could get. We had no fast insulin. So I had to inject to cover the whole da. And eat a little every 2 hours to prevent dying of hypoglycaemia. Honestly, not only were we unable to keep track and manage our level well. We had no idea what a non T1ds levels looked like over time.

Modern medicine has changed T1d treatment hugely in my lifetime. To the point where my life expectancy on diagnosis was about 45 years. And my health now. Means that really is not absurdly far off. The harm done in those first years of poor insulin and no blood testing out weighed much of the later good.

That is the story modern young diabetics need to be encouraged by. Newly diag T1ds now can expect to live as long as a non t1d if managed well. Teaching them that managing the T1d well now will lead to better easier management as the tech improves, and maybe in the future we will learn enough to actually address the immune issue. Will provide a better long term outcome to new T1ds today. Then getting hopes up for a cure just around the corner, dose. T1ds have a long history of negative humer and giving up the battle. Bad Science articles like this and worse still medicle professionals that fail to understand the actual; status of research. Maker that much worse.

This fails to answer the biggest question.

For most T1D is not about not producing insulin. That is a symptom. Not the desease.

Its a genetic condition where the immune system attacks insulin producing cells. Pancras transplants have existed since the 90s. In most cases the patients become t1d again the future.

As t1ds have already done this to there own insulin producing cells. How dose adding our own reprogrammed stem cells help long term?

While it may help long term. IE when we have a sullution to the autoimmune condition. It is at best a step towards a cure.

Very Much this ^.

All fines do is force too poor to walk when they cannot afford the fine or other options. If that is the goal, free/cheap access to pools and sports centres as we had in the 70s was a better solution.

If the goal is to stop driving. Points on the licence. And providing practical alternatives.

Given all it wants to do is life up and down.

If we make tbe huge assumption it has any idea what is happening.

Your wife is likely its actual intent.

Those of us who grew up during the IRA bombing find that statement odd.

Humans do something very Elephant.

Of course, it’s a bit of a petty detail. And is equally valid both ways.

But really goes to show how humanity has got so much wrong. We again and again discover animals doing things we have classed as uniquely human.

In every way, we decide humans are unique amongst animal spices. Seems to fail if we wait long enough.

And before any vegans use this to make some argument. Your choices are yours. But I am yet to see any other animal spices shame members for the diet they evolved eating. So maybe that will be the unique way to measure humanity that lasts. Because eating meat. Or even treating it with cruelty, ain’t one. if you doubt it, look at the insects that breed inside living animals. Many imprisoning the creature as their children grow, then eat it alive.

As much as I’d rather humanity be caring. This is not your argument against meat eaters.

Pretty much.

Edit. But if we are honest. Its not like western nations are going to stop buying vote to teach them the cost.

Unfortunately I don’t drink their products as I’m cheap. So can’t really help myself. But I would be amazed if a boycott of coca cola ever happened effectively.

Lets remember the fanta story.

Coke never left Germany even when the US finally joined the 2nd World War. The traded as fanta to avoid losing sales as an American brand. Once the German people felt they had reason to distrust the US.

Remember this company has a history of refusing to take sides.

True.

At least in poverty stricken nations. Oh and the US. But most of the rest of the world is a little different.

Sure in the early days of developments wealth helps in all nations. But it just tends to be a matter of time before new medical tech makes it to all the population in most 1st world nations.

The US is really pretty unique being one of the wealthiest nations but not having universal health care.

I sorta agree.

Unfortunately modern science is slow to change ideas it has accepted in the past.

Neil Degrass Tyson did an interesting talk on the % of religion in science. Based in the US. And it basically indicated that the higher you get. The lower the odds you belie in religiose ideals.

But the levels were pretty high until the top. And still not 0 then.

I personally think (opinion not fact) this has left us with a community. That hesitates to challenge science on religion alone. IE we don’t see ideas thrown out when it is clear religion was involved in forming them. But instead only when clear evidence refutes them.

In my less the humble opinion. This leaves science with a few old wives nuns tails. That are still followed 400years after the 1689 acceptance of the scientific method.

Honestly Humanity has been pretty arrogant. Took 100s of years before we recognised birds use tools. Mainly because everytime it was seen. Some other excuse was seen for why the bird was sticking a stick into a tree. Science was so sure mankind was unique it was unwilling to see reality.

But honestly if you think that is bad. Do some research into why European explorers thought Europe represented the most advanced civilisation. African cities raised to the ground rather then face the idea they may have been their before us.

How?

Well no country is forced to obay sanctions. Such things are (like all international law) built on treaty agreements between nations.

So only nations with agreements to support sanctions against other nations are required to enforce them within there own laws.

And in russias case Those agreeing nations are mostly NATO members. Where as china was a warsaw pack member during the cold war.
