Some said, “prevention is better than cure.” Angelina Jolie made the most extreme example for
the world. In order to get rid of family history, she made a bold decision to
remove her breast and ovary to prevent the horrible diseases happen to her. The
other interesting news is from a Russian billionaire, who claimed a new plan for
transferring humans thoughts and memories to computer so that human beings can
survive after the body function loss. The advance of medical care indeed brings
us a whole new world but also creates several questions. Hope that you’ll enjoy
today’s discussion!

Do you have any family medical history? If yes,

If you were Angelina Jolie, would you make the
same decision? Why?

In her article, she said her risk of breast
cancer dropped from 87% to 5% after the surgery. It’s to say, she still has
chance to get the breast cancer after the surgery, and she might not have the
breast cancer even she did nothing. It seems tricky. Do you believe
probability?
4.
Would you like to be immortal? Why?

The new medical technology indeed makes people
live longer but not necessary better. A lot of people are struggling for
chronic disease and cannot live without drugs or machines. What kind of
consequence of improving medical care that we might face?
