This article talks about the new treatment for Malaria and how it could be the difference and a revolution in fighting the clever disease of malaria that has killed so many people in the continent of Africa. This new medicine goes by the name ELQ-300 and is said to work better than other treatments because of the rate it breaks down which is much slower than other treatments. Although this may turn out to not be as effective as scientists think it is nice to here some optimism with this deadly and tricky disease that has done so much damage to our human race. The problem that most scientists address is that malaria is just too smart and will fine away to adapt and become immune to this new drug before it can really become effective with getting rid and treating the disease. Bur who knows this could be the answer to what seems one of the biggest issues in our world today, which is very exciting to think about.
Nos themes:
1. Science is collaborative because without other information on prior treatments scientists would not know the more effective ways of curing malaria and other major diseases.
2. Science is subject to debate because their are two very strong arguments on both sides of this topic and rightly so.
3. The role of skepticism in science applies to this article because without skepticism there would be no great lengths to prove the treatment right or wrong or help find a new one in the process.
