Navy Dolphins

We have all heard the term navy seal but when it's used it's not talking about the actual animal. Navy dolphins however are actual animals. Last year the Ukraine Army started a dolphin program. This program was put in place to train dolphins to attack and kill the enemy force. Now this isn't every realistic because dolphins don't always listen to instructions and sometimes have a mind of their own. I'm sure if the United States put time and effort we could have animals that are trained for battle in time of crises. The US already has dolphins trained to sweep for minds but they were recently retired. If we can train certain animals to do specific things then we could eventually train them to fight or maybe do something simple like fix the ship in time of attack. The side effects however of teaching animals to fight is that it wont always be accurate. Animals again have a mind of their own. So weather it's a dolphin or a monkey it will never be a human.

What I think about this article that it is very neat. The thought of training animals to kill and do things for the navy is really cool. I we could also train other animals to do other things think how much help that would be. Think about how the us could evolve with this, I know that the article was silly and a threat but still you can train animals to do things you can also train them to fight. Not only could they fight they could fix something on a ship or help people get out of fire in the battle field. There are so many possibilities.

Buy a body

We all know someone who has needed a transplant or has had cancer. Have you ever wondered how that works? As a kid I use to think that you just went to the store and bought a new heart or lungs. I quickly learned that was not the case. Your body is a very complex machine. The organs are build out of cells, molecules, and much more. Your body is made up of thousands of molecules that all work together. We all know with your body there always comes a point where you have an illness. Sometimes people are born with illnesses such as a hole in the heart or some other problem. They may need a transplant right then or in the future. You are put on a big long waiting list for a new organ or part. Getting the transplant is not always easy. Sometimes your body can reject the organ and the organ may not function right anyways since its not your own. Now scientist have created a way to make organs! That's right they can make organs. So far the only people that have received organs are not currently in the United States. The transplants were successful though. But not only can they make organs they can make other body parts too. They had a man who had a tumor in his trachea and was on the verge of death. He received a new trachea and is still living today. This whole thing started when they made ears for men who had come back from war from a bad accident. If they needed an ear they could get an ear. The scientist thought that if they could made simple things like this than there must be a way they can make organs. They thought that everything in the body must have a simple skeletal structure. They were right, each organ has its own structure. As soon and they create the structure they then inject it with your own blood cells. This is why this new science will be easy to use in bodies because it your own cells and it will be hard for the body to reject the new organ.

I thought this article was very fascinating. They fact that scientist are now building organs and are soon being able to transfer them into human bodies is astounding to me, the body is mad up complex molecules and cells and scientist can make that and inject your own DNA into it is amazing. My opinion on this is proud because now that means people can get transplants faster and it will be easier for their bodies to accept them so they can live longer. The significance of this is this is going to eventually keep people alive. Let's say someone has cancer in there liver and it's bad to the point they may die or they need a fast liver transplant. Liver transplants take a long time because you have to be on a waiting list and that person may not get the liver in the time they need it. Whit this new science they could have a new liver within weeks and it would have there own cells in the liver making this cancer patient cancer free. I think that scientist are on the verge and are currently on the path to a medical miracle for the whole world.
