Question by atreehugger: Case studies – Following on from Truth telling Question.?
A 65 year old man comes to his physician with complaints of abdominal pain that is persistent but not extreme. Results reveal that he has metastatic cancer of the pancreas. The man has just retired from a busy professional career, and he and his wife are about to leave on around the world cruise that they’ve been planning for over a year.
Should he be told about his diagnosis?
A 78yr old Asian woman is admitted to hospital with weight loss, weakness and a pulmonary mass. Results show that she has pulmonary TB. Her family approaches the physician and asks that the patient not be told, stating that in her upbringing in mainland China TB was considered fatal and to tell her would be like giving her a ‘death sentence’.
Should the families concerns be respected?
Best answer:
Answer by okchick133
from a doctors point of view, they are obligated to inform and treat their patients…unless the PATIENT asks not to be treated or informed. in the Asian woman case, the family members do not have the right to ask the doctor to withhold his diagnosis. he is also obligated to tell the man about the cancer even if there isn’t any treatment options. not doing so could result in the doctor being sued by the patient for negligence.

Question by Adam: World Air Superiority Aircraft?
Ok so it seems there is an air superiority arms race. Only recently this has come to light and manifested physically since confirmation of all models by various countries have been confirmed.
So who will suffer?
I think at the top of the List is Britain, being in the top 3 military powers they haven’t anything planned for air superiority.
China has a twin engined stealth Chengdu J-20, In production, Stealth, Impressive payload, speeds etc really stands up to the F-22
Sukhoi PAK FA again, very impressive stealth gen 5 aircraft.
It seems that Buying the F-35 is a mistake. It has stealth, no super cruise, max speed Mach 1.6.
It seems to me that if WWIII hit, they’d get slaughtered,
It seems they will be getting a very entry level aircraft, with no distinctive advantages.
Is Britain ever going to build an independent stealth aircraft themselves?
With the F-22 having stopped production and the EF typhoon standing less chance everyday, Air superiority it seems has shifted to the east
Whats going on!!!
MARK F: That’s exactly the problem! We don’t need any more Multi role fighters, United States Air Force Chief of Staff General Jumper said, “I have flown all the air force jets. None was as good as the Eurofighter.” and the fact it has super cruise unlike the F-35 and is carrier capable like the F-35 doesn’t justify buying it, the euro fighter isn’t to be decommissioned until around 2035. We like other nations e.g. China, Russia, US, India need to be developing a superiority fighter

The EF more than happily fills its boots, its faster, more agile, carries a higher payload, already has helmet mounted display, longer range stroke capabilities, less maintenance and £ for £ its a very very good aircraft.

There is not going to be a “world war”. China and Russia are regional powers and will remain so, there’s no reason for them to do otherwise.

Question by Dana1981: Is the media getting the Himalayan glacier story wrong?
The “big story” today is that the IPCC made an error in saying that Himalayan glaciers could be gone by 2035. However, a recent expedition found that this prediction might not be so far off after all.
“researchers discovered that levels of black carbon in the ice core of the Tibetan plateau had soared since the 1990s because of smokestack industries and coal fires in millions of homes.
The plateau’s 36,000 glaciers, which once extended for 18,000 square miles, could vanish before mid-century if present rates of warming persist. More than 80% of them are in retreat. The overall area has shrunk by 4.5% in the past 20 years.”
“The snow is thawing and the snowline has risen from 4,600 metres to 5,300 metres. The Jianggendiru glacier, which is the main water supply of the Yangtze, has been degenerating fast since 1970, and when the glaciers shrink there will be a water crisis in the Yellow and Yangtze rivers.”
“Qin Dahe, an eminent scientist and explorer, has been permitted to disclose alarming official assessments of the causes to Xinhua, the state news agency. “Owing to global warming, glaciers on the QinghaiTibet plateau are retreating extensively at a speed faster than in any other part of the world,” he said.”

So ironically, while the IPCC made an error here, it turns out their erroneous figure was actually pretty close to reality. Why isn’t that bit of information making the news stories?
Best answer:
Answer by Dr Feelgood
Read this with an open mind. Glaciers only bring in 3 to 4% of the drinking water. It’s the monsoons and snow melt each year that is the major source of the drinking water. Many glaciers there are actually growing or are stable according to these scientists in India. And no the IPCC is still way off base.

Question by Noah H: What is the overall impact of melting glaciers?
India, Pakistan,Nepal, Bhutan, China. The Ganges, Indus, Brahmaputra, Mekong, yellow and Yangtze rivers. What all of these rivers have in common is that they’re fed by glaciers. All of the countries mentioned depend on these rivers for most of their water supplies. Three of these countries have nukes. Since 1960 1/5 of this ice has melted while populations have almost doubled….currently about three billion people. China projects a 43% further decrease in glacierated areas in the next 50 years. Time to worry about melting ice, or ignore the implications?
