Thanks to advance science research and technology, we are able to make antibiotics for whatever illness we might have. Though we still can’t provide many cures for certain lifelong diseases, technology is improving each and every day. In conclusion, mortality rates of today have decreased vastly compared to the 1500's mortality rates in Europe. There were many factors that affected the mortality rates and if it wasn’t for the improvement of technology, mortality rates would dramatically increase. In the end, modern technology helps sustain
The monster comments on his bodily composition in the novel and makes a seemingly obvious comment much more intriguing. The monster paves the way for a successful scientific understanding of the novel and the concept of recreating life: “I was not even of the same nature as man” (Shelley 103). The monster makes clear the fact that he came into existence in a fashion far-removed from natural sexual reproduction and human birth. The critic Stanley Crouch explains: “Frankenstein injected into the game the idea of artificially creating life. Scientifically manipulating the forces that underlie existence; subverting sexual coupling as the sole manner of passing on the divine spark” (Crouch 56).
How important for the prevention of disease was Edward Jenner’s discovery of the smallpox vaccination in 1796? Edward Jenner took the first step in understanding and preventing infectious diseases by developing a smallpox vaccination in the year 1796. This was important as he saved many lives with this new discovery and improved previous methods of preventing disease. Future scientists such as Pasteur and Koch were also able to use Jenner’s work to develop vaccinations for other serious illnesses. However, it was also a limited discovery because it merely tackled one disease and his idea was only gradually accepted by other doctors.
What we don’t think about is the fact that most medical and quite a few technological advancements evolved because of war. Another fact is that, although it’s hard to believe, but war makes countries use their resources better, or at least find better ways to use them. Think about it, most countries try to win wars and to do that, you need to be better than the people that you are fighting, so we use our resources better. Another thing, without war, we might not have certain medical advancements at our disposal; such as penicillin, hydrogen peroxide, and antiseptics. Life would be a lot harder if these things had never been created, wouldn’t it?
(pg. 13) This too is closed minded thinking when you can see how much our lives have vastly improved from technological advances. Illnesses that once were considered deadly are now things of the past; we are traveling distances in hours when just a decade ago could have been days long, etc. The cautious optimist, in my opinion is one who sees technology as the blessing it is but also knows that it needs to have rules and regulations. We must all be “technological citizens” who implies an understanding
The numbers for those that are dying of cancer in the world are increasing. 2007 was one of the last years recorded, and 7.9 million people died of cancer. That number is slated to increase to 11.5 million by the year 2030. Not only can embryonic stem cell cure diseases such as cancer, but as matter of fact, Embryonic stem cells may also cure Spinal cord injuries, Diabetes, Heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Lou Gehrig's disease, Lung diseases, Arthritis, Sickle cell anemia, and also organ failure. With these diseases preventable, it's possible to save billions of lives around the world.
✓ Easy to dispose and incinerate not like usual equipments (Ex: Syringe). ← Disadvantages: In my opinion it's 90% perfect because it has a weakness point while using it in medicine; there is large numbers of diseases so we need large numbers of this invention to fit the number of diseases, but professor George Whitesides and his team are developing papers to be able to perform several different tests several times so when this happens this invention will be 100% perfect. ← Conclusion: In conclusion, we notice that this invention has many benefits for humanity so I hope that it'll be developed more and more.

This was because of the explosiveness of the debate whether or not stem cell research should be allowed, and the federal government at that time did not feel as though federal money should be allotted towards such a controversial research project. The Bush administration felt as though the money could be best used elsewhere. The research was still allowed to continue, just not with the aid of federal money. This changed when Obama took office however, and because he was such a firm believer in the benefits research in stem cells can provide now, and the future, he decided to portion an amount of the national funds towards stem cell
Paul Giulio 5/2/12 PHI100 Professor Kroll Letter to Dr. Mathews Dear Dr. Mathews, I have recently heard of your latest medical operation in which you perform body transplants, this new technology is very exciting. I believe body transplants could be a very helpful medical procedure and will ultimately end up saving many lives. However, your newest medical procedure, brain rejuvenation is an extremely risky operation that could lead to false identification and lack of uniqueness in the world. You have already had the procedure successfully passed by the committee, but I would like to point out issues with the brain rejuvenation process that might not have been thought about. First I would like to point out your view in the case of
Hebrought in this new method of hair replacement to the United States. Hair transplants became much more popular during the 1960′s, although they never appeared natural. During the 1980′s, the surgery changed a great deal and large punch grafts were replaced and new mini-micrografts were set up for a more natural look. Hair transplant surgery has come a long way from the obvious doll look of the past, and now most surgery is undetectable when it’s performed properly. Surgeons even continue to perfect the technique and results can be amazing, provided you choose a well-trained and experienced surgeon.
