    “At what point do children become artifacts designed to someone’s specifications rather than members of a family to be nurtured? (Hayes 245).” In “Genetically Modified Humans? No Thanks,” Richard Hayes argues against Ronald M. Green, a professor of Emeritus of Religion and of Ethics and Human Values at Dartmouth College, specifically responding to his essay about using genetic technology to change children’s DNA. Hayes, who holds a Ph.D. in Energy and Resource, which saluted the United States to ban human cloning worldwide, believes it would disrupt human nature and the human future.…

    Enhancements to an individual’s life due to advancements in science and technology may cloud the foundation of what makes humans, human. This is the message that I believe Huxley is trying to convey through Brave New World by the exaggeration of these advancements. The society in Brave New World is heavily influenced by theories such as social darwinism and eugenics, and possesses the technological prowess to implement the latter into society in an attempt to filter out undesirable traits in a much more effective way than unconventional methods like genocide for example.…

    As a federal agency, NINDS must heed federal legislative mandates and statutory provisions liming the use of funds on NIH awards. Considering NIH is funded by tax dollars, many of the limitations are not surprising: anti-lobbying, limitation of use of funds for promotion of legalization of controlled substances, etc. and some appear to be dictated by policy such as gun control, restrictions on abortions, and restriction on distribution of sterile needles. The apparently less impactful mandates such as public access to scholarly publications and salary limitations are the ones that often provoke the greatest compliance discussions at the award institution level. The way clinical trial outcomes are disseminated and publications are provided via open access have direct bearing on the day-to-day activities of research administration.…

    Unfortunately, the negatives have outweighed the positives for the fact that the consequences of projects, theories and inventions were not all thought through. Although the positive inventions guide recognition in the medical and scientific world, they have resulted in the discrepancies between human life and technology because professionals are choosing the future of their respected field over the future of human life. Granted that human life is being neglected, we are uncontrollably letting technology and science overpower our abilities. With this intention to keep the world on its feet by discovering shortcuts, technological advancements and innovative scientific theories, we have lost sight of our morals as a human population. In result of letting science and technology take its toll in everyday lives, we are losing beliefs and even our original minds that humans were aspired to live with.…

    Progress has been made in the research field of nano-cyborgs because we have been able to fuse a microscopic silicone chip to a virus in order to create a humidity sensor. Again, while this seems like a potentially great advancement in our technology, scientists are also working to make nanotechnology self-replicating so that its purpose may continue unobstructed after the organism it is attached to dies and even longer lasting by siphoning electrical energy from the host (Peplow). The humidity sensor already continued to function for one month after the death of the virus and there is also research being done on the use of nanobots in the brain to repair damaged neural connections, essential rewiring the brain. If nano-cyborgs are made to be self-replicating and potentially thought changing, our bodies could potentially be used in the same way the carpenter ant is used by the fungus.…
