procreation into manufacture" ("Leon Kass"). But cloning can help in medicine like organ transplants and producing drugs. Cloning has many negatives that need to be accounted for, but the positives are so beneficial that cloning should be used in science. Organisms that are genetically a copy of another organism are clones ("What is Cloning?"). These organisms are produced from a single cell (Miller and Levine). Clones can be produced naturally,…

In order to scientifically analyze a situation or problem we must first observe it; in social science, we must observe the real world (Hunt & Colander, 2011). In order to accomplish this task, I chose to observe the use of technologies in a mid-range restaurant. The restaurant is known for being family friendly, but also caters to the sports enthusiast. The technologies readily available to customers include flat screen TV's displaying various sporting events, a tablet at each table that…

remedies. Similar bacteria using this method have been used to synthesize growth hormones to treat some forms of dwarfism (Genentech 1979). Not to mention engineering clotting factor to help treat Hemophilia with, again, similar bacteria (Digital Science 2011). Furthermore, past methods, which have now become obsolete with the discovery of recombinant DNA due to their high risks of transmitting blood-borne pathogens, like HIV and hepatitis C (Key & Negrier 2007). Boyer’s discovery dramatically…

The Enlightenment period, which stretched from the mid 17th to early 19th centuries, brought about a new and more advanced society through the radical change in common perceptions. Europeans began to question the reliability of the morals and ideas they have always accepted, and decided to make great attempts in diminishing ignorance and, instead, rationalize the problems present in society. Mary Shelly had written Frankenstein during the end of the Enlightenment era, and was inspired to…

When it comes to religion and politics, theories abound of secularisation and modernity, however, an absolute separation between the spheres of religion and politics has never been fully actualised and is not even possible according to the works of theorists such as Emile Durkheim, Robert Bellah, Edward Shils, and Emilio Gentile. The utopian secular modern society forecast by John Locke in his theories of the social contract and toleration ([1689], 2012) and asserted by the likes of Dietrich…

Filmmakers, pop science writers, and scientists explain how robots develop intelligence, and potentially emotions. In a live science article, computer scientists, Bill Hibbard explains that robots will have human-like intelligence sometime in the 21st century. Explaining how these AI robots will overtake humans in 2100 he says the robots intelligence will be astounding. In another article by Sony Pictures the authors explain how they have a robot film called “Chappie” that was the first droid to…

3.1 billion letters, he went on to write The Language of God. He is a theist which is uncommon for a scientist. The first 6 chapters of The Language of God broke the ice. It gave the reader necessary definitions and explained the history of how science and the church had clashed in the past. It described a specific instance when Galileo, Copernicus, and Kepler disagreed with the Catholic Church. The book described the differences between an agnostic and an atheist, as well as the viewpoints of…

This chapter starts off by discussing how in the seventeenth century that the Earth was the only planet in the solar system. It also talks about how Galileo’s telescope showed that there was more than the Planet Earth. It showed that the Moon exited and that it is not a perfect round sphere. The telescope shows that the Moon has craters, mountains, and many more features…

He showed up in a streak of documentaries: “Connections” in 1978, which primarily concentrated on the historical backdrop of science and technology. Burke gave data about the improvement of the methods of technology, from conventional and documented ways to deal with the utilization of current systems in the field of science. He felt that social changes require technology to be created and these two are co-dependent on each other. Along these lines, history takes likeness…

Harrison, 2015. Pg. 300). The abilities to change DNA and completely alter natural creation is in the hands of scientists all over the world. When we go to the grocery store and buy food, it could potentially be something that has been altered by science. Unless there was a label on the food telling you that it was altered, you would have no way of knowing. “In 2013, Congress was considering the Genetically Engineered Right-to-Know Act, which would require the FDA to enforce labeling of all…
