Journal Blog #3: What is your life span?

I sometimes wonder about this as I'm now older than before. I drink a lot of coffee, so my heart is under a lot of pressure these days. But I eat well and exercise a lot, and have a relatively unstressful life, other than Bangkok traffic and my crazy dog.

I also think technology is changing a lot, and I wonder if the future will be like the Matrix and a computer chip will be implanted in my spine, so my body just keeps working forever. We read that healthy eating, relaxing culture, and good genes help us to live longer, but maybe in the end, technology will save us (or destroy us?). I'd like to hear from you.

Journal #2

After looking at the reading for this week, Changing ethics in medical practice: a Thai perspective, please comment on what you understand to be the overall meaning of it. What is the changing ethics that the title refers to?

I'm also interested to know if the Thai perspective described in this short essay reflects what you think. If you are non-Thai, you may also describe your own perspective on this issue in your experience as it relates to this text.

I'm looking forward to your comments. Aj. M
