Martine Rothblatt : My daughter, my wife, our robot, and the quest for immortality (script)
Summary
The speaker published his thesis in his book of which the title was "The Apartheid of Sex". It shockingly says that a gender has fluidity. Racism is real though race is fiction and male or female gender is constructed fiction. People have to choose either because of society forces. Genitals don't determine your gender or sexual identity. It's the structure of the human body and reproductive tracts. He changes his gender sometimes.
He works with satellite though he stars a nonprofit foundation to collect a fund for medical research and to help his daughter. It's because she was diagnosed to have a rare fatal disease that is said to definitely kill its patients by her doctor.
However, he studies her illness and looks for her medicine.
Although the medicine he found was just piece of powder for a rat that is said not to be able to turn into a medicine for people, by his research, it's turned to the great medicine for two years. It could help not only his daughter but also other many people who have the same illness as her and it currently produces a big benefit. She now helps his company that will cure more people by transplantable lungs.
He is, now,  working to develop a new software which can revive the consciousness. First, a mind file which is a place on the internet to collect your mannerisms, personality, recollection, feeling, beliefs and values, is created. And then, after couple decades, it can be recapitulated by a software.
If a robot has the software, the robot can do anything like you forever. He showed the robot that version is his wife to us.
This is his new research that leads to the quest for immortality.

Andrew Solomon 3: How the worst moments in our lives make us who we are

TED 2014
Andrew Solomon 3: How the worst moments in our lives make us who we are (script)
Summary
What the speaker figured out from his big struggles was that you can build your meaning and identity, even if you are in unusual situations. So you don't find your meaning but you can forge your meaning.
However, all of you are with stigmatized identities that we don't agree but there are many people who confiscate our humanity.
However, the stigmatized identities: your gender, sexuality, race, disability and being a political prisoner, involve entering you to draw strength from you, and to give you strength also.
 When you start to tolerate them, you can see progress and reverberation to others. They are the foundation of identity. You forge your meaning and build your identity, even if you are at the worst moment.
It gives you the power and joy, it makes you what you are, and it can change you and anything.
Forge meaning and build your identity. It can't change anything.

Andrew Solomon 2: Depression, the secret we share

TEDxMet 2013
Andrew Solomon 2: Depression, the secret we share  (script)
Summary
In fact, depression is not known well and people think that the opposite of depression is happiness. However, it's not happiness but it's vitality.
Having depression seems that you start not to be able to do small things that are eating lunch and organizing yourself while thinking that it's ridiculous. You feel yourself doing less, thinking less and feeling less. You lose all interest. It's a kind of nullity but anxieties are set in. It becomes too painful to be alive. It leads to killing yourself.
Moreover, if you have depression, it's probably hidden by yourself and your family won't know it. You can't tell it to anyone. It makes it worse.
Depression is said to be the flaw in love but people confuse about depression, grief, and sadness. Although it'll take time, grief will ultimately solve itself.
However, if you experience a catastrophic loss, its big sadness tends to lead to depression that is much too much sadness and grief.
However, it's looked it small reasons from far place by others.
About treatment, it doesn't figure out that it needs a chemical cure or a philosophical cure though both cures have an each role. Then the speaker says that we should tolerate the vast world of alternative treatments.
It's because depression is braided so deep into you. It can't be separated from your character and personality. However, it's not part of your personality. It happens when the system gets broken. It's only maladaptive for you though shutting out and hiding depression grow it.
Looking at, tolerating the fact that you have the condition and understanding your depression will become the way that you achieve resistance.
The speaker wants to tell us that by vitality, even little of it that you can face the fact that you have depression, it leads to a cure. It's because the opposite of depression is not happiness but vitality. You might be in hell as depression, but thinking about the way to love it and to find joy bravely. Its vitality makes you leave having depression. Don't think that you are not happy because the opposite of depression is not happiness.

Andrew Solomon 1: Love, no matter what

TEDMED 2013
Andrew Solomon 1: Love, no matter what (script)
Summary
The love you have for your children is like no other feeling in the world, and until you have children, you don't know what it's like.
So parents love their children whoever or whatever they are. It is not changed everywhere, even if there are situations that you think are difficult or that you mourn over. The situations are, for example, a parent whose kid has autism, a dwarf,  who has a child with down syndrome or a family of a convicted murder.
You mourn over them, you pray for a cure and you wish that their existence is eliminated but it's exchanged with someone though parents don't think that. They don't want to be cured, changed of eliminated. They want to be whoever it is that they are. They say that they wouldn't give them up for anything in the world.  If they lost their children, it would be a catastrophic loss.
They don't think of their kids never been born. They, parents can love their children with their flaws and strong effective will.
Sometimes, it might take time to accept the situations though there is an unconditional love throughout the relationship between a parent and a child.  This is such strange love in which you can fall into naturally when you become a parent.
