Chapter Nine – Understanding the Past, Human Origins and Role In order to understand the present, we must have an understanding of the past. However to understand the past, you have to understand how people thought and understand the environment that they lived in. Although no indication of the progenitor of human beings is accounted for like in the biblical text, there is mention of how human beings were made. In two Sumerian accounts, people are formed from breaking out from the ground, clay…

Humans, today, conflict with the problem of how humane it is to test and murder animals such as mice and worms. Despite having a viewpoint in “the troubled middle”, Harold Herzog discusses the moral line drawn from the killing of different species in his article, “Human Morality and Animal Research.” He looks over the moral obligations and historical context resulted from the murder of worms to mice to kittens to humans. Herzog discusses patterns between the human morality and situational…

cloning to continue and what could happen to humans as this technology develops. Animals are the main test subjects on the effects of cloning to attempt to determine the possible effects that could happen to humans if more technology is developed. As more animals are continued to be tested companies want these cloned animals to be processed for food. Genetic cloning of animals for meat is wrong because there could be potential dangers towards humans, more animals create a problem with food and…

What is the Human Condition? The Human Condition are characteristics in life in which one will experience at one moment or more in their life. The real question is, however, do you experience the Human Condition even if you’re not conscious of it? In order to be “human”, one must experience one of the characteristics of life. Conversely, there is Nihilism. Nihilism is the rejection of all religious and moral principles, believing that life is meaningless. The idea of Nihilism goes against what…

centuries. Mostly for dissection to learn about the human body, but now they take on a lot of different purposes besides dissection. In the early days of trying to learn about the human body, people were not allowed to use cadavers because of religious purposes. They used pigs, primates, and even their own imagination to draw the human body. Eventually, these other animals and imagination were not working. Andreas Vesalius was the first to dissect a human cadaver (BrainBlogger 2011). Since…

As time goes on, the question of whether humans are selfish or not becomes a controversey and is widely disscussed. After reading true stories of unfortunate situations and observing many reaserches, it all becomes clear that mankind is greedy and will do anything to benefit themselves. Authors such as;Charles Montgomery, Todd Schwartz, Richard Lemiux and John Chapman knew this all along and that is why they chose to share their eye-opening stories and research with the public. In any time of…

combination of all contrasting characteristics, so there is no clear way to fix society because everyone is so different with what drives them as human beings. People constantly find themselves arguing against their conflicting motives, because these motives causes them to behave in certain ways and make decisions that they tend to regret later on. The complexity of human nature is displayed in John Steinbeck's novella, The Pearl. Steinbeck's novella is written as a parable to illustrate…

The Impact of Health related human research experiments have long been a debatable topic(dilemmas). The agony, mental and physical torture and suffering associated with those historical experiments greatly influenced the contemporary world's view of such experiments. The negative impacts of those trails on people of different age groups, educational backgrounds, and social classes made today's world view them only as tragedies. On the other hand, the progress achieved by those experiments over…

Human cloning Human cloning is the process of creating a genetically identical individual, based on a model. Cloning can occur naturally or as an artificial process. The human created, do not emerge from sexual reproduction. First of all one needs to get to know what forms of cloning exist, in order to discuss the question if cloning humans in our real world society is rather something to be in favour of, or to refuse. Cloning can be differentiated in reproductive cloning, which aim it is to…

Human exploitation is commonly referred to as the unethical, selfish use of human beings for the satisfaction of personal desires and profitable advantage. In a world still beset with problems caused by human exploitation such as wages granted below subsistence levels, forced labour of minors and increased precedence of radicalisation, it is considerable that we have not done enough to absolve these challenges. Although it is undeniable that variegated groups such as governments and…
