Biological engineering

The ethical issue in biological engineering that I will be focusing on deals with enhancing the human race for many advantageous reasons, most important that being to treat diseases. For as long as we can remember scientists have been trying to find treatments for certain diseases in the biotech, pharmaceutical, and medical industry the traditional way. This includes screening, looking at genetic conditions, and then trying to develop a treatment, but this is relatively a slow process. So what if there was another therapy means to get rid or be born without of certain diseases once and for all? This is where enhancement of human races comes into question and all of its advantages and/or disadvantages will be discussed here. Primarily, what…

Career Consideration of Biological Engineer and Speech Pathologist Steve Jobs once said, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Finding a lifelong career that is interesting, intellectually challenging, emotionally fulfilling, and well suited for a person is often a difficult decision for one to make. Choosing a career might take time, research, and experience, but eventually a person will find a career that suits them best. While a career of a biological engineer requires…

extinction while others are selected? The issue, Stephen Baird notes, is that “there is no universally accepted ideal of biological perfection. To make intentional changes…

During my time at Sandia National Laboratories, I interned under the department of WMD Threats and Aerosol Science. I saw men and women using their scientific and engineering backgrounds to study and understand systems that can be used to counteract chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. It was incredible to see and work on various projects that allowed for counter-terrorism. One of the biggest projects I worked on was our "Spray Knockdown System" it is a massive, almost…

These investigations furthered the success of the FBI.As for the Duquesne Spy Ring, it resulted in reassured notions that there was not a huge German espionage network remaining within the US. With this spy ring being uncovered and the impending war, the FBI had a lot on their plate. This included investigating companies supplying defective war material and background checks. Also, the kept working to get rid of espionage and improved training to gather and analyze intelligence to give to policy…

Main Article Summary Agricultural and biological engineering are a very misunderstood concept. People around the world refuse to take the time to slow down and decipher just how important agricultural and biological engineering is to the progressing world. Many individuals do not take into consideration what the true meaning of agricultural and biological engineering is. Typically, it is confused with biomedical engineering, which is the tissue and prosthetic side. Many think that biological…

Engineering a Career for Life (Rough Draft) With technology constantly advancing in the healthcare industry, many jobs have been created to continue these advancements. One of which is the job of a biomedical engineer. Through the combination of engineering with medical and biological sciences, biomedical engineers can make major advances in healthcare technology. While it requires a lot of advanced mathematics, being a biomedical engineer would be a good career for the future that I would be…

The idea of free will as an illusion has become a hot topic in neuroscience, still even nearly twenty years after this article was penned, due to the controversy it attracts regarding morals and self-determination. Tom Wolfe argues, in a rather snarky tone consistently seen throughout the article, that the concept of a self is dead—much like Nietzsche’s preceding declaration that God is dead. However, the concept of self is not yet dead in neuroscience like Wolfe predicted. Rather, more…

These common symptoms can be ignored or mistaken for something illnesses. There are agents that can cause infections that can be fatal if contracted. Biological and chemical agents were used years before during war times. During the First World War the German army was the first to have believe used weapons of mass destruction biological and chemical. In these years their attacks were on a small scale with biological weapons during this time due to the lack of technology. About eight years ago…

anthrax vaccine he had created with weakened anthrax bacteria (Sowards, 2015). He did not vaccinate the other group of 25 animals, the control group (Soawrds, 2015). From there, Pasteur injected both groups on animals with live anthrax bacteria and all of the vaccinated animals survived while the unvaccinated animals died” (Sowards, 2015). It is important to note, that it is believed by some that French veterinarian Jean Joseph Henri Toussaint actually created the first anthrax vaccine (Sowards,…
