Model 12
Researching
about GNR, Genetic engineering, Nanotechnology, and Robotics, I can see how joy
fears these things destroying the world. Reading about these put fear in to me
too I find some of this stuff disturbing, people now days are so into themselves,
and are so lazy they always want an easy way out of anything or everything,
with that I am a little worried about what is going to happen to humanity.
Robots joy fears “the creation
of a new life form that may escape or control”. I don’t think that there would
be any way they could make a machine that can think on its own. To know what a
person can do with a computer on the internet scares me, we are far to in to
this technology no way of turning back now.
Genetic engineering when they manually
add new DNA to an organism, a direct manipulation of an organism genome using
biotechnology. This is crazy, using this in the field of medicine is great I support
it all the way, and using it for healthier foods, but I don’t think we should
mess with anything that has to do with changing how are babies should look like
or how smart it is, we all want a smart and beautiful kid but
I don’t think they should mess with what god creates.
Nanotechnology has the ability to reproduce,
the realms of atoms and nanostructures. Nanotechnology is so new that no one
knows what is going to come of it. Predictions range from reproducing things
like diamonds and food to the world being devoured by self-replicating
nanorobots. Scientist engineers are trying to use nano-size wires to create
smaller more powerful microprocessors. It said it could have a positive effect
on the environment, now that sounds great but the only way to see is to try and
what happens if it has the opposite effect on the environment? They don’t really
know what could happen.
All of these technologies offers untold promise the vision of near
immortality Kurzweil sees drives us forward; genetic engineering may soon
provide treatments, if not outright cures, for most diseases, and that is what
everyone wants. Nanotechnology and nanomedicine together can extend our life and improve the
quality of our lives. But these technologies can leads to an accumulation of
great power and, concomitantly, and great danger to us and the world.
I agree with you that we always want the great things, but advantage and disadvantage go together each other. 3 components can bring good and bad, but they can bring more worse if we couldn't use it reasonable.
ReplyDeleteIf we use our resources for greater need or cause that's one thing but your right when we start genetically messing with lives, then were playing on a whole different field. The very though of altering humans genetically blew me away.
ReplyDeleteI agree, manipulating genetics seems unethical. Using biotechnology for the improvement of mankind makes since, but things should not get to a point where we are changing nature in a way that seems pointless or purely experimental. Without a definitive purpose, and one that benefits mankind, certain things should not be done.
