Final Essay

  An estimated 26 million of non-human animals are used every year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing; and the research on living non-human animals has been practiced since at least 500 BC. This information produces me discomfort. We really need to use non-human animals to increase the quality and duration of human lives? Why not to choose humans for purposes that are humans?     The industry and the scientific world commonly use animals to develop medical treatments, to determine the toxicity of medications or to check the safety of products destined for human use.   In a few words, as far as the scientists are concerned, the use of non-human animals it comes down to its functionality, sadly like simple things. Today we perfectly use new methods that can replace the need for animals. We have in vitro testing; we have in the world people that would love to participate voluntarily in some researches and we have HUMAN NEEDS.   Like I said before, I think th

Elevator Speech

Hello, I’m Horacio, I’m an expert student in evolutionary psychology, specifically in the old age period of human life. I have worked in a couple of researches about the psychological, social and cultural state of the senior citizens in our country. I learned a lot of the last but not least period of the vital cycle in the practice, talking with people. Now, I’m interested to apply for an assistantship in this university because I loved the subject when I was a student of it and i would like to share knowledge.   I’m a very responsible person, I really want to help people with doubts and academic (and personal) problems. Also, I enjoy the pedagogical experience that go with the assistantship role. Finally, I would like to say that I have initiative to build new instances.

In Chile, one of the most representative (I said “representative” because the specie is part of the national badge, but no for the public efforts to protect him) animal species is the Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus). The relative abundance of this specie is very li
