    As a human race, we continue to gain scientific knowledge with and without moral restraints. Inventing new cures for diseases and creating new products to help people around the world are helping people and saving lives everyday, but some discoveries are going unnoticed and unchecked and could potentially be violating the code of ethics that nearly every human being is raised with.

    Humans developed many different upgrades to technology purposed towards making life comfortable. While a majority of the time research and science is considered to be purposed for helping humans there will also often be a medical research project which might go against our religious values. A good example can be considered as abortion, which is a medical procedure purposed towards helping girls and women. In Canada, we as Canadians take great pride in our culture, kindness, and hospitality. Although ironically taking a look back in history when Canada was in the developing stages, it was made illegal for a woman to get an abortion outside of a hospital under S. 251 of the criminal code.…

Some of us make the decision to use a calculator to solve simple mathematical problems in everyday life instead of putting our minds to work. The simple accessibility to shortcuts such as calculators are deferring us from using our common sense and knowledge and can eventually lead to advancements in which we lose control of what we have invented.…
