Module 5 Discussion

Grandpa and Growth Hormone

Instructions

Aging is just a natural part of life. Unfortunately, as we age our bodies do not look or function as well as they use to.  Many try to counteract the effects of aging through sensible modifications in their diet, exercise and rest while others may seek renewed health and vigor through the use of “all-natural” supplements or other, more extreme regimens.

The beginning is our teen years, the human body undergoes great periods of growth, most of which is directed by hormones.  These hormones naturally decline however, as we reach adult maturity.  “Body image” can become a near obsession for some throughout life, even well into one’s later years.  In the program presented in the video below, the effects of aging are managed by exercise supplemented by a prescribed combination of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone (HGH).

To begin, please watch the following video, Cenegenics, Hormone Replacement Therapy (Links to an external site.).

Part A

After watching this video, address the first question based on your thoughts supported by research. Include with your post the research references in APA style format. Post your reply by Tuesday. After posting begin your textbook reading to complete Part B and Part C.

Question #1: If these programs are indeed medically managed and effective, should the laws regulating steroid and hormone therapies be lifted? Is this a responsible choice, in your opinion? Or has vanity simply trumped sensibility?

Part B

For the second part of the discussion, you will apply what you have learned from the course materials in this module. By Thursday, create and post separately, two well-crafted questions for your classmates to answer. Each question must include at least one paragraph of background information before the questions are asked. You must start each question post with “CLASSMATE QUESTION.” *** Please be sure to research your questions and add references.

Part C

For the last part of the discussion, you will thoroughly respond to two of your classmate’s questions. ***When responding to your classmate’s questions you must start with "CLASSMATE RESPONSE." *** This will assure that you are given proper credit for all posts.
