Before they made any decision, they should hold an ethical meeting about the improvement of fuel tank, if they would change their mind by paying more then people would not have to die. In this case, I think Cost-benefit analysis should not be use in this case, because it is very unethical and inhumanity to determine a number of life that have to sacrifice, just because the unwillingness of Ford to pay more for the adjustments of fuel systems. When applying cost benefit analysis in this case study, Ford will either improve the fuel tank or chosen not to go ahead with the fuel tank adjustment, then at least 180 will burn to death, 180 will be injuries, and 2100 vehicles will be burned. Ford was making a decision based on numbers that seems to be right, but it is allowing a certain number of people to die or be injured even though they could have prevented it with paying more for the alteration of fuel tank. This seems to be a disregard for human life.
With the recurrent expansion of scientific knowledge and technology in today’s society, new inventions, theories, and ideas are frequently brought into practice. All though new technologies and advancement in understanding of the world around us is crucial to scientific expansion, the outcomes of these ideas aren’t always positive. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the original practices of Eugenics both serve as correlations to vast and ever-growing scientific universe. These two works can be related in their ability to serve as sources of caution during innovation of science. Nevertheless, both Frankenstein and Eugenics can also be dissimilar from that of one another.
The good intentions of these doctors range from curing medical diseases, to preventing genetic disorders. Unfortunately, there are too many concerns involved. The door to genetic manipulation is quickly opening. The future of designer babies could be dangerous. It has the potential to shake up society as humans know it.
Lewin talks about a number of conditions that humans commonly suffer from. He believes that human beings and their illnesses are the products of a long evolutionary history. Because of this, Lewin considers modern medicine as deterrence to human evolution and scientists and doctors should combine the idea of evolution and medicine to create revolutionary treatments he calls “Darwinian medicine”. It is difficult to determine whether the concept of Darwinian medicine holds any weight in the medical world. Lewin’s theory suggests infection, trauma, and genetic diseases should be left untreated in order to help the human body fight and respond naturally; doctors should only intervene if necessary.
These scientists play a very important role in developing new ways to protect the seal population. In relation to this article Duke University faculty and the International Fund for Animal Welfare were major stake holders in publishing the study. The issue of the decline in harp seal population is global, economic and biological. The warming of the oceans’ waters is a problem that humans and wildlife are facing all over the world. It is also a problem that does not have many possible solutions, causing it to be the most detrimental to harp seals.
Environmental health Unit 38 P1 Explain how human activity can damages the environment For years now we have been warned about human activity destroying our planet and environment. Some of the things that humans are affecting are Climate Change, Depletion of Ozone Layer, Pollution, Deforestation and Extinction of Species. Overcrowding, urbanisation and population growth Overcrowding can affect our planet more than some people think, Overcrowding means more people this means we use more natural resources this means the earth in the end isn’t going to have enough resources to support the growing population. Remember every person on the planet takes up space which could be used for farmland, and forests. People excrete wastes and litter that flow into water systems, and animal habitats, this is slowly polluting water and killing wildlife.
They believe this was a right that they were given by our Four Fathers, which is clearly not true. Yes, they have the freedom of speech but when should the freedom be taken away? What about the rights of the innocent victims and their families? Hate crimes, because of their nature will always lead to violence and this is not a freedom that people should have. In my opinion, the penalties for hate crimes should continue to be more severe than that of a regular crime because so many innocent people are injured and even killed simply because they are different.
To be human means that we center our focus on understanding ourselves before other things. Our relationship with the planet is also essential because we keep doing things that we think will help us but that end up harming the earth and if we keep doing that, the environment will be destroyed and we will die from that because there will be nothing left for us to love off of. People are also discovering and creating new chemicals which are harming us. (Christian main lecture 4). There’s a lot more to big history than just substances, there is also our story and how we came to be and we call these modern scientific origin stories.
First of all animal cruelty is a natural problem because it affects animal, it violates their rights, leaving them with serious physical or psychological injuries that may cause them death. Also when they take species out of their wild environment, and put them under control of the humans for entertainment and experiments, they are affecting the natural balance. Under the control of humans, they are likely to be abused and mistreated. It is a cultural issue because people from Spain and around the world actually believe that the fighting bull is only for fight, so that is why they kill them, because it´s entertainment and they give them a honorable death. Also, in the case of the whale killing, it is also cultural because in some parts of the world, they have used some whale parts in order to do traditional medicine.
Another threat as previously mentioned is from humankind. Activities such as hunting are escalating the extinction of birds because they are used as target
