The human race has made huge steps forward in all directions and aspects of life, whether it 's moral, technological, scientific, and even ethical. The human race today and how we behave is very different than it used to be a few centuries ago. We behave differently now than six decades ago when women couldn’t vote or people of color were not considered equal by the majority race. Now that we are in the 21st century, some parts of our world still face some of these problems but in the first world countries, most countries have moved on from such problems where a person has all of his/her human rights. While some parts of the world face different problems, the West where most of the scientific and technological advancements are growing at the

What is not moral? As mentioned before we will never agree on this as human beings but there are few things that we all do agree on and can’t deny “The earth is our only home.” (The Dalai Lama 70) Therefore we must be responsible for what we’re doing to this place and make sure we don’t hurt the only home we have in this universe. Not only we need to look after this planet but look after our species, everything we do is for the good of people. That is the primary reason why our people from the beginning of time started inventing new technologies “We must all scientists and society at large-strive to ensure that whatever new course of action we take, we keep in mind the primary goal of the well-being of humanity as a whole and the planet we inhabit.”(The Dalai Lama 70) Some might argue that there should be no boundaries for scientists and they should be able to do anything because after all, they want to help. Some argue that it should be their rights to practice any sort of science without limitations just like others have the right to be gay or the right to religious freedom. That is wrong when it comes to science, we should not have unlimited freedom to our scientific technologies. Think of it this way, imagine that there two personalities to our world; a personality that reflects our true selves and what we are made out of, and a fake self. Because our world is divided into groups and religions and many known and unknown sects we don’t know the true …show more content…
The answer is simple and that is to benefit ourselves with technology that makes tasks easier, and technology that saves our lives and the list is very long, but the overall goal is to benefit and solve problems we have. With that being said do we as the human need to make everything perfect? I don’t think so, I think we need to only pursue technologies that solve serious problems in our world for example cancer. Cancer is very deadly and we need to look for a solution and treat successfully. But to what extent are willing to go? If one of your family members has cancer I’m sure you’re willing to do everything to treat them even if you place others at danger because you only care about your family. That is just our human nature and what you’re willing to do might reveal that true self of you which is not safe. Using the cancer example just to give a more clear picture of why we need to legislate ethical and moral boundaries because scientists might be forced to create a harmful technology and without a worldwide organization enforcing the legislated scientific ethics and morals our world is heading for an unpleasant
