LEVONORGESTREL

Hi, everybody!!

This blog is dedicated at presentation of Dr. Carlos Valenzuela, member of institute of biomedical sciences

In this opportunity he talked about: levonorgestrel in emergency contraception, better known as “the morning after pill”.

The Levonorgestrel is contraceptive pill, with postovulatory effects, using a high concentration of female hormones to stop the process of nidation or implantation, after a sexual relation, without protection, or bad utilization of anticonceptive, to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

The point of view of Dr. Valenzuela, was that levonorgestrel is a contraceptive and not an abortion pill, because not affect the implantation, only have effects in the cycle of migration of embryo in the fallopian tubes.

But there is controversy on this point because some people believe that life begins at implantation, others with the union of genetic material.

However, the doctor says in his presentation, abort is an abstract concept, very difficult to define.

This point was to my, the most interesting to my in the presentation, the controversies, and the differents points of view, of the church and the scientists, and relevance as this pills, and how to get involved in daily living.

In my personal opinion, I believe the levonorgestrel should be utilized in extreme circumstances, for example in violation victims, because I think, in case of family planification not is necessary, because exist others anticonceptive methods.

The used of levonorgestrel, should be reduce until clarify the real action method, and the various parties to reach a common understanding, especially when put in game a future life.

THE BICENTENARY

Hi, everybody!!!!

In this blog, I talk about of Bicentenary, one important date that changed the course of Chile .

To start a little of history:

This year our country meets “two hundred years” of independence, the 18 of September of 1810, when set the first meeting of government-led, for Mateo de Toro y Zambrano. But, here was not signed the act of independence, only established the points to start the process of liberation .

Since the arrival of Pedro de Valdivia, Chile has down the laws of Spanish kings, this country of Europe under his power to the vast majority of countries of America, subjecting the people to their beliefs, lifestyle, habits, besides to exploit the natures recourses especially the golden, utilised to elaborated the jewels of the royalty and make more rich at Spanish crown, considering people like an scoria .

This and other situations, prompting the people to make a change, and expulse at the spanish of the continent.

For the other hand, different countries of South America, forming the Army of the Andes, being its top leaders Bernardo O’Higgins and José de San Martín.

For that, chilli don’t its the unique country of anniversary, also Mexico, Argentine, Venezuela, Colombia, etc.

Nevertheless, Chile became independent 12 of February 1818, and the battles finished to Chile, with the embrace of Maipú, the last combat.

Really, this date should be the Chile birthday, but the history considering the independence from birth of the liberty ideas.
