One new and/or surprising thing that Ms. Nadine Burk Harris said in the TedMedical Video was, that children that have been abused or neglected in severe cases have triply the amount of percentage that they will get heart disease and lung cancer as well as a twenty-year less life expectantly (Harris, 2014).

2. Look over the ACEs measure. What are your thoughts on the events included? Are you surprised that the events have such a strong association with health outcomes? After looking over the ACEs measure, I felt overwhelmed with how much abuse and neglect can affect someone’s outcome on their quality of life.

Ms. Nadine Burk Harris and the authors of the article both used and focused their statics on fMRI results. Using the fMRI, it has showed that there are damages to the brain and neurological canals when a child has been abused or neglected in anyway versus a child that has never been abused or neglected (Pine,
