Let's do that, but first practice what you preach. However stem cells from her own marrow; wonderful. I can deal with that.

Sure it is, premeditated at that. As a matter of fact the woman in the Roe vs Wade that won the supreme court decision has since come forward and is pro-life. She has publically expressed her wishes that the supreme court would overturn their decision.

Are you seriously reading my statement and coming to that conclusion? I was speaking of the creation of human embryos in labs then killing them for research.

Mike:

I don't know what you were thinking with that line of questioning. There's no way, given the early posts in this thread that it could be a civil discussion. You'd be better off just letting it go.

So... Just let it go and let this die. Nobody is going to listen to any opposing side. This goes deeper than logic and common sense. It deals with faith and religion and there's just no arguing with that.

Geez, man. I thought you were smarter than that. :roll:

so i have questions about this topic?

1.) What is TB exactly?

2.)What dose it do to the respiratory system?

3.) Is the damage permanent?

4.) In the article it sad that they wanted to remove her left lung. Can you live without it? How?

sorry if these are dum or not appropraite

They are not dumb questions. They do illustrate though how little education is actually given in an EMT- Basic class. To help you with your education here are a couple of links.

Ok so those links answered most of my questions but if no one minds can some petter explain theses?

2.)What dose it do to the respiratory system?

4.) In the article it sad that they wanted to remove her left lung. Can you live without it? How?

I was told you can live with out a lung. But would there be any other complations because of it? Because they are missing a lung they would not have as much title volume right?

this might be over my head but it is helpful but sorry

Sporty the reason I am supplying links rather than direct answers is you learn more when you do research. A good EMS program will require extensive research. If you put forth effort you retain more.

Research. Easy as google, just be careful of some sites such as wikipedia.

I noticed you are from Redlands. I just got my basic from Crafton Hills. Is that where you went?

The respiratory complicatios are actually pretty easy to understand if you try a little experiment. Try sitting down and breathing a fraction (perhaps 1/2) of your normal volume. Then stand up and do some jumping jacks while breathing at that same depth. It is very likely that what you experience is similar to the person with one lung, depending on the condition of that lung also. People live with it.

I believe that the bacteria causes some sort of irritation in the lower airway.

Proven? Whatever. Let's stick to the topic at hand.

Well, the procedure is legal so no. It's not murder.

Who is "they"? Are you seriously accusing women of going out and getting pregnant simply for the stem cells that could be obtained from the after effects of a terminated pregnancy? Is there a market for this? Are women being paid to do this?

-be safe

So...would it be too out of line to ask for any of their numbers?

[sportygirl]

under-dreaming. Hi! yes I went to crafton and I teach skills there now. Thanks that was some good info and I did try it. It was kind of hard to do and after I wanted more air. lol

[sportygirl]

ok so i read and have found allot and it leaves me with more questions?

I found out TB can be managed by a few drugs but i don't know what they do? would albuterol do any thing to help?

also TB can sometimes be outside of the lungs and effect other organs would that be worse? what would they do for that?
