Nobel Prizes

Hello once more readers!
Today's post I think that it is different but at the same time really interesting, and I hope you would like it as much as I like it when Ana, our teacher of ICT, explained us the topic to write about in our blogs. The topic is about people who had won a Nobel Prize, and from all people who had won a prize I have chosen Robert G. Edward's prize of 2010, on the section of Physicology and Medicine because of the development he made in vitro fertilization. Basically I chose it because I like medicine section, and I think, that any development on this sector significates a lot for all humans and our health.

ROBERT G. EDWARD NOBEL PRIZE

       Robert G. Edward was born in 1925 in Batley, England. After military service in the Second World War, he studied biology at the University of Wales in Bangor and at Edinburg university in Scotland. After been studding years, he became a staff scientist at the National Institute for Medical Research in London in 1958 and that same year, he initiated the human fertilization process. 

         Many years of investigation later, he innovating different method to solve the infertilitatiot, fertilizaing outside the body. The new technique took the name of IVF treatment, was used fertilizing an egg and developed into an enbryo with 8 cells, later this was returned to the mothers womb. In 1977 the firts "test tube baby" was borned healthy and save. 
 


           IVF had move from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun. By 1986 more than 1.000 children had already been born following IVF. Today, IVF is an established therapy all over the world. It has developed  several important improvements now, single sperm can be microinjected directly into the egg cell in the culture dish. IVF is a safe and effective therapy, 20-30% of fertilized eggs lead to the birth of a child and studies have shown that children borned in this way are as healthy as other children.
 

 Do some of these children had been born by IVF method?

Totally we have made six different stories, here I let you the original page were we made my story, Destiny together.

I hope you will like this original project!

....................................................................................

Because of the destiny or just luck Victoria had to make a project of history with Chris. She started to experiment new feelings that she had never felt before. That occurred the first time she saw Christian getting inside her class. All was so strange, she liked him, but she didn’t dare to speak him. But that day, even if Victoria felt really embarrassed at first, she had to start speaking with him. 

They instantly fell in love. They had so many things in common, both liked to swim, walk in the mountain, even the same series of TV. And of course, the work they made was perfect. The teacher was so amazed that asked if they had made with any kind of help. They were made one for the other. They began dating every day, it didn't matter if it was raining, storming, snowing or if the next day they had ten exams. But suddenly Victoria notified that Chris was behaving a little strange.


When they met, Chris was always very nervous. They started to talk and to do their homework and he wasn’t the Chris that she used to know. One day, they were talking about the homework they had in Victorias and suddenly, Chris started to cry. Victoria knew that something strange was happening and after he stopped crying she asked what was happening. Chris dried his tears and he explained all the story: 

“Victoria, I love you with all my forces but, I have to tell you something: two days ago, my father said to me that I have to go away to a distant country because... I have a serious problem, I have a strange disease, and if I don’t go... I will die.”

Then, Victoria started to cry, she didn’t know what to say, she was very surprised, so she started to cry, she couldn’t understand it, what kind of disease can he have for going away? But she didn’t ask it him, she can not. She was shocked. “Why has to happen it? He has all his life for living!” she thought. 

The day to separate from Victoria reached but Victoria asked Chris if she could at least help him to the airport. The trip on car took many hours, Chris and Victoria spent the first 3 hours of the voyage speaking, crying, telling beautiful things to each and remembering old memories where they were happy. They stayed like that until they fell asleep hugged. Victoria woke up after an hour and she realised that Chris was in a deep sleep. He was sleeping so deep that he didn’t breath.

Victoria start crying and shouting, when the driver saw Victoria, and he realized about what was happening stopped the car. Someone that was around them in the street called to the ambulance. Meanwhile Victoria was looking the lifeless body of Christ, but she dont know wat to do. When the ambulance arrive, they went really fast to the hospital. One young woman talked with Victoria and she tried to console her, then she said her that she would have to wait because they were trying to save the life of Chris. Approximately 2 hours later the same woman say that Chris was alive and in this moment Victoria become the happiest women of the world and she decided that he will go anywhere in the world if like this she could stay with his love.
