“Quisiera ver crecer a mi hijo”: padre de Virginia busca donante de riñón

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:01:14 GMT

Un mexicano en Virginia apela a la generosidad de la comunidad en esperanzas de que alguien pueda donarle su riñón en vida.“Yo quisiera ver crecer a mi hijo. Quisiera cargarlo sobre todo, ser un padre normal, poder jugar fútbol con él, poder jugar béisbol”, dijo Noé Hernández. Pero no puede, porque su insuficiencia renal se lo impide. Solamente el 4% de los riñones de Hernández funcionan y depende de una máquina de diálisis que lo ata y debilita por horas cuatro veces a la semana. El tipo de su sangre es tan popular que podría alargar la espera por un riñón hasta ocho años, ya que hay muchas otras personas en su misma condición.Para mí y para mi hijo, pensar en la muerte de él nos destrozaría por completo toda nuestra realidad.Mara Guedez, esposa de Noé Hernández Por eso, apela a la generosidad de una persona viva.“Mientras la espera más tiempo dura, mis órganos se van degenerando. Lo que es mi corazón, lo que son mis pulmones, lo que son mis articulaciones, mis ojos....

Environmental cash for fish: EU flashes green money to support Indian Ocean tuna grab

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:01:14 GMT

The EU’s sustainable fishing funds are intended to save the environment. In the Indian Ocean, critics say they’re being used as leverage to allow Europe’s fishing fleets to keep fishing vast amounts of tuna.EU vessels — most of them French or Spanish — catch up to a third of tuna in those waters, according to data from the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), an international body tasked with managing the fisheries. To do so, they deploy so-called fish aggregating devices — floating objects made of plastic or wood used to attract fish — that scientists say lead to overfishing and cause plastic pollution.Concerned by the EU’s practices, a group of 11 IOTC member countries are calling to limit the use of floating devices to allow fish to recover and ensure the species’ survival. Their proposal calls for a 72-day moratorium on the practice every year, and a limit on how many devices can be used.The EU has launched a campaign to ensure that doesn’t happen.Through so-called “sustain...
