Few decisions are more personal — involving both health and death — than those embodied in an advance health care directive or a living will, or a similar document. Some individuals want their lives prolonged by any means necessary, while others want medical treatments withheld, allowing for a natural death.
An advance health care directive lets caregivers and family and medical providers know a person’s healthcare wishes if he’s unable to speak for himself. The document can also appoint someone else to speak with legal authority for the person if he’s unable to do so for himself.
If someone plans to set up an advance health care directive, living will, or similar document, here’s what he needs to think about:

Thanks to the fact that it’s a natural byproduct of the cattle industry, bovine serum albumin is cheap and plentiful. In fact, BSA is ideal for medical research, vaccine proteins and even as a food additive. Essentially, albumin is a plasma protein used to grow cells. It can also effectively test the protein quantities of cells, and can be added to a variety of food products to increase protein and nutrition.
BSA is a common agent used in restriction digest to stabilize enzymes during the digestion of DNA for study. The beauty of albumin is that it does not affect other enzymes that don’t use it to maintain stabilization. This makes bovine serum albumin essential for determining the amount of proteins present with great accuracy. By comparing an unknown amount of protein to a known amount of BSA, you can accurately measure the protein level in any given cell.
BSA is highly stable. While scientists know what bovine serum albumin does, they are pretty clueless as to how. Albumin clearly affects lipid binding properties, but the exact nature of why bovine serum albumin works remains a mystery.
