BP#9 write reflection on HeLa

1.       I don’t know. But I think I can require compensation through the law. I think that people have rights to control their things. In addition, the law was created for protecting people right. It is possible that I should be retroactively compensated. However, I couldn’t understand that JOHN MOORE didn’t get retroactively compensation. That just explains that the law is incomplete. I think use other person’s things to do the examination that needs to get agreement of the person.

2.       I think that contributing to science and research for the greater good of humanity is more important than my right to control my own tissue. If my own tissue is useful for science, I will be happy to contribute it, however, it must be allowed from me. I am afraid that tissue removes from body of people to do the examination without people allow that will take a bad effect in the society. For example, there is some illegal people will hurt some people whose tissue is useful for science. That is bad for some people use tissue of people without they know. I think that the law needs to ban these behaviors, and protect people’s right.

BP#8--Going Green again

     1. I can change three thing to going green in my life such as turn off  electronics when I go to sleep, stop using disposable bags, and use cloth napkins daily instead of paper.

     2. I think that my country people  think about going green as much as American do. There are many people try to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They used to walk and use public transportation when they go out. In addition, the stores stop supporting disposable bags to customers, and people usually prepare bags when they go shopping.
     3. I never realized that it need to insulate hot water heater. And I don't notice that it can improve the efficiency of heater; in addition, it can go along way toward saving energy and cutting down on carbon emissions. For example, consider wrapping water heater in a layer of insulation, for the nominal cost of about $15. Then an insulating jacket can reduce heat lost through the walls of the tank by 25-40%. That is a good way to save money and protect our environment.
