A MOVIE ABOUT MY LIFE!

(the video hasn't been possible to hang it)

Presentation:

Hi! My name is Judit Planas Puig. I was born in the Hospital Trueta of Girona the 3rd April, 1993.
I was born at two o’clock at midday and I was weighing 3 Kilograms.

My interests are art, tennis, all kind of music (pop, rock …) and my friends.

My family:

My family isn’t numerous. The components of my family are:

My parents: Isabel Puig and Miquel Planas:

Isabel was born in Aiguaviva.
Miquel was born in Banyoles.
They married in 1990.

My brother Enric:

He was born in the Hospital Trueta of Girona the 13th March, 1998.

My grandparents: Carme Font and Josep Planas; Dolors Oliveras and Lluís Puig
My uncles: Maria Lluïsa Puig and Ramiro Comas; Montse Puig.
My cousins: Yasmina, Pol and Ramir.

Last summer:

Last summer my family and I went to holidays to Greece.
We had a cruise for the Mediterranean. We visited a lot of islands, for example: Mikonos, Santorini, Crete … And many old ruins

In Greece they are fantastic beaches with clean and transparent water. The weather is very good, sunny and heat and the food is excellent!

But the best were the relays of the sun.

I think that those holidays were the best holidays in my life.

In Banyoles every evening of summer we went with my friends to the Club Natació. Some days we went shopping in Girona. And some nights we were going out to dinner or to some parties.

Next summer:

I have a lot of plans for next summer. Surely we will go to Sweden with my family.

With my friends probably we will go to summer camps, to the Club Natació, to Girona and to more other places.

THE GENE DEBATE

(The powerpoint hasn't been possible to hang it)

THE GENE DEBATE

Genetically modified food

What’s this?

Genetically modified (GM) food is a foodstuff produced from genetically modified organisms (GMO) that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering.

The principal food modified genetically is the tomato, the sweet maize (corn) and the rice

Advantages

• Cheaper products

• More benefits

• To increase the protection of the vegetables food against diseases caused by insects or virus

Disadvantages

• Have been expressed that eating GM food could cause health problems in humans

Cloning animals

What’s this?

The cloning of an organism is a new organism creates with the same genetic information that a cell of the existing one

Dolly sheep

Dolly the sheep may have been the world's most famous clone, but she wasn’t the first. Cloning creates a genetically identical copy of an animal or plant. Many animals ,including frogs, mice, sheep, and cows, had been cloned before Dolly. Plants are often cloned. When you take a cutting, you are producing a clone. Human identical twins are also clones.

Dolly’s history The sheep Dolly (it lived of 1996 until 2003), was the first mammal to the being cloning from an adult cell. It was cloning in Scotland, where it lived until it died at the age of six.

The name "Dolly" comes from a suggestion on the part of the professionals who contributed in the conception in honor to Dolly Parton.

Advantages

• Production of pigs the organs of which they are easily transplanted to human beings.
•Treatment (healing) of diseases like the cancers and the virus.
•It can be some day it will be possible to invest the process of aging.
•The heart attacks might be invested.
•Substitution of the defective cells.
•Surgery: it might reproduce parts of the body, as bones and cartilages.

Disadvantages

•The human cloning might have a few consequences: children be born with two heads, two hearts...

Opinion

In our opinion, cloning animals and GM foods aren’t healthier because it isn’t natural. But it’s a scientific advance.
