BioTech and the Future of What It is to be Human

   
Author: Lance Winslow
 

Should scientists be allowed to play around with the human genome? Should we be screwing around with our own DNA? Is it right to experiment with stem cells? Should we allow robotic parts, computer human interfaces and artificial hearts, lungs and kidneys? What will the future bring and will it be an ethical future or will we cause irreversible evolution and forget what it is to be human?

Presently we see that the BioTech industry is attempting to use that which we already have to make us better. It is competing against the robotic field of medical implants. Which is better for humanity? Should we allow either, both or only one in our future, as many believe that the entire future of the species is at stake? That is to say what it is to be human in the first place you see?

Well in this argument we see real needs for instance as there are injured and maimed Soldiers coming back who are fighting the murderers and International Terrorists and they are happy to get artificial parts to enjoy their life without too much hardship. I myself have a steel rod in my Femur Bone from a motorcycle accident. Most would agree that there is nothing wrong with that right?

Yet where do we draw the line? Do we say no artificial brains, hearts or reproductive organs? Yet what about pieces of them to help the function when they are damaged or what if they are not damaged but one wants an enhancement? Think of implants people get to better their appearance are those really wrong if it helps someone feel better about themselves? Some say it is others argue it is choice. So when do you perceive that it will be wrong? Where would one draw that line? What is humanity anyway? There is no good definition. Will humans become our own Gods, re-designing ourselves? If not then should we continue? And if so, then when will we become God and once we do, will we still be human? Think on this.
