Artificial heart valve

Artificial intelligence is becoming more prominent in the world. Technology is advancing toward completely autonomous vehicles. However, these technological innovations come with great responsibility. A completely autonomous car can be driven into a situation where a life will have to be taken. This ethical issue is a problem for the engineers, the drivers of the car and society. A variable ethical setting in a car provides controversy over what the ethical setting should be and who should be…

Artificial intelligence. The number one creation that human beings have seeked for many years, an eternal undying form of simulated life, competent of self-thought, and maintenance and protection. Human beings still have yet to invent a truly intelligent artificial imitated being though. Although, in numerous science fiction universes, Artificial Intelligence have become a part of the real world and in every day life. Good morning/afternoon, my name is Rylee, and I am here to analyse and compare…

The world of Artificial Intelligence offers profound benefits to society, along with perilous potential consequences. The outcome of the advancement of Artificial Intelligence likely lies in the hands of those who develop the field. This kind of power comes with numerous ethical questions, as to how far we as a society want to take Artificial Intelligence. Would we prefer a world without disease, or poverty, at the expense of human control over society itself? Important questions such as…

The ethics of uploading the human mind to a computer and transplanting it into something else is something that humanity will need to figure out eventually in our world. With the advancements in computer technology and enhanced artificial intelligence, the age of robots like synths is closer than we think. Francis Fukuyama, a philosopher that sat as a member of George Bush’s Council on Bioethics, believes that humans and human dignity have a “Factor X.” This Factor X is described as “Some…

and Turing are in Strong disagreement. Evaluate the arguments on either side. Does Searle's 'Chinese Room' argument help resolve the debate? The question of the potential of thinking machines has both been addressed by Descartes and Turing. At the heart of the debate, the question of language and how thought can be constructed, remains the major point of difference. The essay will look at Turing’s argument for machines thinking and Descartes’ disbelief in machines ever being able to think. The…

On the question whether machines can think, Descartes and Turing are in strong disagreement. Evaluate the arguments on either side. Does Searle's 'Chinese Room' argument help resolve the debate? The ‘thinking machine’ debate raises numerous philosophical questions on the nature of thinking and how a machine could replicate the way our brains think. With advances in technology, the idea of building a machine that can replicate a brain is somewhat plausible, but this still may be a long way off.…

Lombardo writes in “The Future Evolution of Consciousness” that consciousness as “an evolutionary phenomenon embedded within an evolutionary universe” (322). Such a statement spurs the thought that during all stages of Homo sapiens evolution, consciousness will follow. Homo sapiens in 2001: A Space Odyssey are presented in three different stages of evolution: man apes, modern day humanity, and sentient beings without a need for flesh. Emergence of consciousness led to the discovery of tools,…

keep the heart in rhythm. If the heart starts to beat to slow or to fast it will send an electrical shock to get it back on pace. When you get one or both devices implanted in you will need to have regular check-up with the doctors, these should not affect your daily life. Later on in the article you read that you may be allowed to still participate in fast paced sports such as basketball or soccer. Lastly just because you are young do not think that you can not have a heart attack or heart…

Since the mid-1800’s, research contributing to the vast amount of information we know today about stem cells has broadened our horizons in the field of medicine, as well as led to several discoveries involving humanity’s origin. Although they comprise only a small portion of known stem cells, muscle stem cells are indeed equally as important to science because of their aid in helping us to gather new facts about the human body. Therefore, to completely understand how these cells affect our…
