Emma Watson

Wilkins, Watson, and Crick received the Nobel Prize, but in reality, was Rosalind Franklin’s data and photos of DNA that led to their discovery. They couldn’t have done it without her x-ray crystallography. Regardless of the discovery has had serious significance…

A small village in a rural area struggles with crop failure that affects everyone. The children are unable to focus in school on the topic as their stomachs rumble. Families struggle to put food on the table, farmer’s fields are bare of life. In a large city fresh food is scarce and overpriced, the frost came early this year. Without genetically engineering food, harsh weather conditions, and sudden catastrophes are able to wipe out thousands of necessary crops. Though the usage of genetic…

Genetic engineering has been prevalent in society for hundreds of years, but most people just aren’t aware of how tremendous of an impact it has on people’s daily lives. Most of the produce that is sold in supermarkets has been genetically modified so much that it does not resemble an unmodified version of the same fruit or vegetable. Similarly, manipulating genetically modified bacteria into providing the needed insulin produces the insulin that diabetics take to regulate their blood sugar.…

It is within human nature to strive for perfection. To be the best we can be, and now humans are on the brink of discovering how to finally reach this “perfection” we desire through genetically modifying fetuses or in other words creating a designer baby. However, should we really turn to designer babies in our search for perfection? In my opinion I do not believe we should because there are so many unforeseen consequences of designer babies that we cannot comprehend. We may come across bacteria…

G: In sci-fi films, directors highlight the importance of symbolic codes in promoting ideas in such films. R: In the 1997 film, Gattaca, the director Andrew Nicoll, presents viewers with a seemingly utopian film, where the people featured in the film are genetically engineered to create a perfect society where their genetics determine their jobs and social status. O: Nicoll uses symbolic codes such as a crucifix/infinite symbol, a staircase shaped as a genetic ladder and bars to…

We, as a society, should always be moving forward and bettering ourselves, but is genetic manipulation the best way to do it? Gene editing can help cure fatal diseases in children however it could be possible for parents to choose their children’s personality traits. Science should be used to better a person’s life, not determine it. It is not a moral obligation of a parent to screen out “personality flaws” but it is a parent’s moral obligation if they want to cure their child of sickle cell…

into Watson, the Jeopardy-winning took off quick purpose of repression change that is starting now being lifted to affiliations. It 's pitched as having the capacity to settle on mind blowing choices and give time tried targets in attempts like government incapacity and money related affiliations. IBM says that business is developing, however motivations driving interest are fundamentally nothing. In February, CEO Ginni Rometty said the nonappearance of data is in light of the way that Watson is…

Genetic modification is the elimination of a certain gene containing undesirable trait and adding another gene containing the desired trait. The process includes getting the desirable material from a donor and not from the parents. Parents now can get all the characteristics they desire in their babies. They can also eliminate certain health problems the child might inherit from his/her parents. Genetic modification and manipulation has become a controversial topic since it has ethical and…

Book Portion: Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World may seem far fetched from today's society, but the reality of various Huxley predictions is very real. Huxley satirizes the use of genetic engineering by showing how various aspects of it in the New World State have led to inequality in social castes, dysfunctions in intelligence, and unwanted predestination. There are four different castes in Huxley’s Brave New World, and all of them are very different. “The shorter the oxygen.”(14). This…

Genetic Modification: Scientists Against Ethics I. INTRODUCTION Imagine living in a world where some people were just born perfect. They consist of perfect looks, perfect personalities, perfect athleticism, perfect minds, and perfect everything. But you, on the other hand, just got the luck of the draw. From two parents, very average in terms of the word today, you were born, normal. Unfortunately, normal is not good enough. There are two types of people now: the normal ones and the flawed…
