Montana and Idaho plan open-season wolf hunt" - Can we balance the issues involved?
I hope we can do something for wolves.
"We plan to bring out innovative tailor-made cells for disease" - What do you make of "Stem cell therapy"?
I am interested in stem cell therapy when I heard Albert's experience.
I heve never heard before stem cell therapy it was good to know.
“Laughter really is the best medicine”?
Yes,I agree !
I just now called my father but he couldn't recognize me because getting old(he is 70years old) and his hearing is bad especially on the phone.
He said "Who is Atsuko? she is not japan..."
I said " I am your daughter , now I am in the US... that's why I am using international call !"....
He said " ....But your voice unlike atsuko's voice..." etc...
But he couldn't convince...from first to last in our conversation.
Then I sent an email to my sister that I really worry about him.I doubt whether does he get dementia something ? But she responced quickly she said my mail makes her laugh with her tears...because I wrote the email about my father and mine funny conversation and I did worry too much about him . She said he just getting old still he is fine except his hearing. Then her email also makes me laugh.
It was good medicine for us...

Week Ten
How would you prioritize the reintroduction of the American Bison?
I have never seen Bison before.I hope we will be able to save Bison .
I think they can survive themselves if we step back from them.
“New pill promises to reduce breast cancer risk”?
It is not so common taking a contraceptive pill in Japan. Because we still don't want to have side-effect .
I have heard before that who had experience childbirth who can reduce breast cancer risk.It mean that inexperience person has more high parcentage of breast cancer risk than someone had experience. I think that natulal age cycle is more healty.

Week Nine
*About the “eight-point Deep Ecology Platform”
I think we can change quickly only surface. We always have to pay attention seeing what is the main cause of problem.
*Why “Ecosystems are both strong and fragile”?
I think if Ecosystem cycle compleatly works it will be strong but if one thing lack of the cycle it will get unbalanced. I think sometimes easy to happen that kind of unbalanced that is fragile.
*How would you assess the “end goals” of Social Ecology?
It is difficult to say "end goals" of Social Ecology because someone try to reduce the garbege then somewhere a restaurant waste food . It seems like endless...

Week Eight
*How do you feel about western approaches to HIV/AIDS?
I think most of the time still we need to approach and use strong western medicine.
But we had better not using it always. Sometimes western approache is too strong for us.
*Can TCM strengthen our immune systems?
Yes,I think that it can.Especially for strenghen the spleen and stomach that is to get source of energy for our body function.
*What do you think of “the deal that saved the whale”?
As you might know Japan has custum to eat whale long time ago.But these days we are not so common that custum in Japan . Because we feel that custom devates from social world common sense.I feel so sorry (I am ashamed ) to say that the Japanese still continuing to catch the whale ...They say that whaling for some research however I am not sure it is necessary or not.
But now I am glad learning that people try to save the whale. Whale has a huge body but might be difficult to survive.They need help from us.

Week Seven
How sophisticated is our understanding of cancer?
and
How does a TCM approach to cancer differ?
I think most important thing is a stance of patient and who has be able to fight with cancer on treatment.Of course it is a common understanding both of them (between Western Medicine and TCM).
On the treatment of TCM that can be effective for pain and strengthen immunity system. But it always needs patiant's motivation.It is a challenge how to rise and make mood of patient who will be able to fight with cancer.
Are our genes still being shaped by natural selection?
Yes, I think so. I have heard before that a many children lack their standerd number of tooth by comparison with it of our generation . Because our eating habit has been changed lately that we prefer soft food than hard(or firm or tough) food therefore new generation getting small jaw and there is not enough space to fill in standerd number of tooth.
It has been happened that I think our genes still being shaped by natural selection.

Week six
How do you distinguish between living and nonliving systems?
I think living system has some energy but nonliving system does not have any energy.
What do you feel is the significance of the use of language and tools in chimps?
Wow they can use many things! When I went to SF zoo almost two years ago I saw a gorilla in side fence he looks like boss. He has a big family(colony) about 20 gollira in there. He sat down one place and watched safety of his colony. He seemed like guard from first to last.If I have a chance to go there I would like watching him again.
"Chinese Medicine Gaining Respectability in West"?
I hope it does but I think it still does not have gaining respectability in West . I am living in berkeley in where many asian people are living and who live in here many people has interest in chainese Medicine.
But probably that kind of interest is only a few states in U.S. My friend said to me if Oprah or Obama who has powerful voice announced this; "I usually take a Chinese Medicine instead of westan medicine" it will be more quick spread in the U.S.
I have been lived in here almost two year now I felt possibillity of Chainese Medicine in the United States.
I feel that Chainese Medicine still have a chance more receive wide in the world.

Week Four
*Is there a drug around for just about everything?
It seems like a drug aroud for just everything but I don't think so.We ought to choose ourselves from everything our option what we need taking as a drug or medicine.
Can we raise our levels of dopamine ourselves?
I am not sure but I think this we can because If we do Qigong we can get many good effect from Qigong .We might be able to increase secretion of dopamin too.
(2days Later...Now I read some articles about dopamine it says if we have stress or
something to do activity we can raise our levels of dopamine ourselves .
How do you think chimps and humans diverged as species?
I think we are not diverged as species between chimps and humans.We are very similer society and patarn of life etc...
For me almost same classify between two .

Blue Brain
I felt give up to take biology class after first class because of my English skill.
But after read the article my mind was changed.
Human's brain works tons things. Of course mine too that I hope(smile).Therefore many scientists are difficult to make blue brain.
I had heard before that one of japanese technician try to make human robot.
But it is so hard to make because we have a feeling.Then he try to make insect robot because they do not have feeling. Just reflex movement . After that he successed to make a elaborate insect robot.
When I read about 'Blue Brain' that I remember above story.Then I realized that I am a human afresh. I can do many things. I thought that I should try to
continue taking this class .
