@cjko According to Einstein, "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, but in relation to the universe, I'm not yet sure."

@Buryce Hello friend, cancer always depends on a number of factors, from your age to your habits, but myeloid leukemia is more common in young people. Current chemotherapy is much more efficient than it was 10, 20 years ago and there is now the possibility of having bone marrow transplantation (many countries have it in an international network) is difficult but not impossible by genetic blood typing. I had a college professor who survived a Hodkin Lymphoma (although it's an aggressive form of tumor). The action of chemotherapy is systemic, that is, it spreads in your bloodstream seeking to reach sick cells. Do not be discouraged, even with the onset, that it is so difficult to adapt your body and side effects. It may be a long period of treatment until the regression of tumor cells, which may be a few years. But throughout therapy and the responses of your body you can resume your daily life. Stick to the love of your loved ones and trust your doctors and nurses by adhering to the treatments and following the guidelines. You will get it !!! Trust and do not give up !!!

@Just-another-day It is unfortunate that someone limits everything to the pigmentation of the skin. With a simple scalpel bodies of different ethnicities flow the same red blood. Racism comes from ignorance and inability to see beyond appearances.

@cjko I believe Empathy, for it would lead individuals to seek the best in fact, not the unique and exclusive satisfaction of their ego. This would lead to seeking the knowledge of truth without the contamination of personal interests and these individuals would be able to abstract and imagine, but also to materialize these aspirations. However, there is a balance between these aspects.

@TheGoldenMole Anxiety as a state of natural alert is always welcome. A little adrenaline is always good to feel alive. It becomes pathological when it comes to controlling all the expectations of the subject. We can gradually test our anxiety states, never abruptly and know our limits, which can be overcome over time. If it is a limiting state then it is advisable to seek psychological help, since psychiatry is a powerful industry specialized in drugging people without helping them to experience difficulties and procrastinating the opportunity of self knowledge, except exceptions where chemically there is chemical imbalance of receptors and neurotransmitters as noradrenaline and serotonin.

@Kiss_My_Axe However great the menstrual flow (this would be a metrorrhagia, a condition of health to be evaluated by a gynecologist) besides being a residue of desquamation of the endometrium, being therefore inappropriate for donation. In addition to laboratory processing and guaranteeing the sterility of the collection, this is not possible since the vaginal canal is technically a potentially contaminated site, as well as some pathogens such as pseudomonas, gardenerella and some fungi such as candida albicans.
Really unfit to be reused. I hope it was not inconvenient in my review.

@Karina-Kara

In the most pessimistic probabilities among the trillions of known stars one has to consider the even the most fragile possibility of repeating the combinations found on this small rocky planet in a star of small magnitude as is the sun. Temperature, pressure, liquid water, atmosphere, oxygen gas concentration, location in relation to the dominant star, presence of satellite, panspermia, radiation doses controlled by an ozone layer and of course the possibility of favoring the formation of life forms based on carbon are some of the complex variables to allow a sketch of this lost laboratory in known space.
Although these rare conditions can be repeated, it is necessary to consider evolutionary stages of species that still do not leave the primordial brood, with no chance of thriving without first developing autotrophy, chemosynthesis of volcanic chimneys in deep oceans, first drafts of heterotrophy , concentration of minerals and nutrients to form simple amino acids and random tests of plasma resistance of the first microorganisms. Millions of years of evolution considering the bombardments of wandering bodies from the hostile space.
It is the incredible combination of the hostility of the outside to absurdly fragile cellular organisms.

@cjko Any place to start over, working little (just dreaming) and earning well is a good place.

@TheGoldenMole For this planetary undertaking it is necessary to have the direct advice of competent cosmic engineers to deliberate on the planetary constitution, whether rocky or gaseous, recycled elements of quasars, atmospheric pressure, number of satellites, position of the orb with respect to its star for temperatures favorable to the emergence of life, molten metals in the nucleus, seismic movements, mass and gravity, time in billions of years for cooling, incubation of the first microorganisms, ways of capturing star energy, ensuring liquid water. The scale of living beings and their genetic projects, their attributes and their evolutionary and adaptive potential until arriving at species capable of reasoning and these begin their forms of organization and control of the existing resources. Wow !!!
It would seem that this would require attributes of a supreme intelligence and the entire domain under any elements of this and the other 11 or more dimensions (or more) at an extra quantum level, being beyond them. The subject must be distinct from his work and not be confused with it and have access to all source codes of the multiverse to be The Programmer.

@DIV thank you Div

If you could become invisible for a day to observe and do something without being seen what would you do for fun?

Indicate the best television series in your opinion.

@TheGoldenMole We have two options for death: complete annihilation, since we are products of electrochemical reactions of the brain or a metaphysical life if our consciousness is something distinct and independent, which manipulates the brain as a control panel. In the first absolute nothingness, where all personal efforts are reduced to carrion and dust, while in the second there would be a purpose for individuals to pursue their experiences in another reality without the vicissitudes of organic matter, but dependent on the moral quality of the acts practiced in life (but this from a religious or philosophical perspective - see Plato in his work "The Republic", discussing the soul).
"Heaven" and "Hell" are psychological perspectives of the creature's emotional state, and can not be taken literally (within the religious hypothesis).
Becoming part of the universe, returning to the Universal Whole is part of the pantheistic hypothesis.
All the gears and mechanisms of our life require a "why", an origin and our birth, as well as the causes of suffering have reasons that are not accessible to the domain of a life only, which brings us to "Palingenesia" or Reincarnation as an alternative theory to understand the possible injustices that would be the sources of suffering. Are we organic creatures seeking a spiritual experience or spirits going through an organic experience?

@Anna-Shil Hey Anna! If we all produce or generate work or expend our energy, whether manual or intellectual, we must be "rewarded" for it. As archaic barter practices are outdated we create financial systems to "value" work. Money is then an unfair way of quantifying the value of labor and consumer goods and services. Paper printing is just a detail and today the virtual cash on cards becomes a reality that dispenses physical money.

@IM-NOT-HORN Nowadays I look for interesting subjects to contribute to the discussions and to find contrary opinions that add up to the formation of ideas and concepts.
