Future technology in altering the human body could change so many lives with the handicap, cosmetically, or making our bodies better and stronger. It could possibly making a prosthetic limb feel like a real limb, or change the life of a disfigured person by making them look completely normal. Stem cells could cosmetically keep a person from aging, and using their own DNA could correct cavities by regenerating their teeth, or replacing missing, or damaged ones. Scientists could possibly make body parts that are better than their own. People could replace their own body parts with better ones, by using bionic arms and legs to make faster or stronger athletes, clone eyes to see better, and have bionic hearing so people can hear a pin drop.
Crescordia should choose to sit out on the alleged revolution because it maintains their reputation as a quality manufacturer and improvements on resorbable products cannot be made until surgeons test these tools on actual patients. Crescordia would have to invest large amounts of capital in order to develop and produce resorbable devices on a large scale. Releasing a faulty product could bring about lawsuits against the company, which would only add to the costs of launching this new line of products. Crescordia’s CFO, Calvin Westbrook, pointed out that margins will not be significant because retooling resorbables will be a huge capital expense. The legal implications of targeting specific groups are evident, especially with kids and elders as legal counsel, Sam Maddox stated.
Preparation Outline for informative speech: Stem Cell Research Title: The Wonders of Stem Cell Research Thesis: Stem cell research is a very controversial topic, today I will give you some information about the research, so you can decide for yourself if stem cell research should be allowed to continue or not. Introduction: * (Attention material: visual ) Do any of you know who this man is? Well he is Dr. James Thomson, one of the leading scientific innovators in the research of stem cells. (Audience connection) I’m sure at some point you have all heard about stem cell research. Maybe just like me you too just don’t know enough about the subject to have a well-informed opinion of you own.
Stem Cell Research: The Great Debate There is a quandary that divides religious groups, politicians, and scientists that questions whether or not it is ethical to conduct experiments upon embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have shown a potential for treatments and cures for many ailments that have been thought to be untreatable. While some contest that it is ethical, I believe that embryonic stem cell research is unethical and should not be allowed. One reason that I believe that embryonic stem cell research should not be allowed is because destroying a human life in the hopes that another human life might be saved is unethical. An egg that has been fertilized should hold the significance of a human even if it is within the
The overarching themes of this scientific thriller are the dangers associated with genetic engineering and the folly of relying too heavily on computer technology that may fail at crucial moments. As Crichton makes clear in the Introduction, the implications of genetic engineering cannot be underestimated: “Biotechnology promises the greatest revolution in human history,” he writes. It will completely change every aspect of human life. But this is not being accompanied by any comparable attention to the ethical implications of genetic engineering, or the safety factors involved. The revolution in genetics is also marked by an alliance between biotech scientists and commercial interests.
Although these cells are unspecialised they can only develop into a specific type of cell. A lot of research has been put into stem cells as we can remove them an embryo, and in theory use them to use them for: * Making new brain cells for people with Parkinson’s disease. * Rebuilding bones and cartilage * Repairing damaged immune systems * Making replacement heart valves Although this sounds very exciting, a lot of social and ethical issues have come about, due to the stem cells used for research coming from human embryos. As a result, the government has kept a close eye on the research being done. The main ethical issue is that many people, due to their religion or personal opinion believe that destroying human embryos is a form of murder.
After President Bush limited embryonic stem research government funds, many labs were forced to seek private funding to continue research. In March 2009 President Barack Obama lifted the federal funding ban for embryonic stem cell research, so the government could give financial support to federal and state agencies to continue embryonic stem cell research. President Obama spoke on the issue in 2009: "Medical miracles do not happen simply by accident. They result from painstaking and costly research, from years of lonely trial and error, much of which never bears fruit, and from a government willing to support that work...Ultimately, I cannot guarantee that we will find the treatments and cures we seek. No President can promise that.
Each culture differs from the other cultures in the way it reacts with the new scientific discoveries and inventions, depending on it’s own values and beliefs. Some people think of embryo research as a solution to many medical diseases, and that’s true for the patients’ benefit. However, what about the fate of the embryos which the doctor used for research and then got rid of after? Sometimes doctors or patients’ families consider hiding the health information from the patient as an acceptable option for the patients’ own interest to avoid emotional harm. Although, what about the patients’ right to know their health conditions?
‘Gattaca’ doesn’t condemn the genetic experimentation itself, but it condemning the way it is used, and why it is used. Even though the genetic engineering can save the lives of the people, it is used blindly and the reason for using it is wrong. It doesn’t better people personality, it rather makes more selfish and narrow minded. According to the society of ‘Gattaca’ science means everything, it cannot be flawed and will always be accurate, but as shown in the film Vincent prevails science and reaches his dream. People rely on DNA and science too much, which could potently corrupt our society.
With more advanced systems, surgical robotics companies can bring medical intelligence real-time, providing surgeons with information that can help them during procedures. However, data communication is just the initial step. Although fully autonomous surgical robots are not planned in the near future, the upcoming platforms will probably include databases of surgeries and the capability of suggesting optimal surgical procedures based on outcomes of similar cases. New companies realize the importance of big data and machine learning to reach higher levels of standardization, which improves quality and documentation of
