Ethics are emplaced in us as adolescences. Ethics are a set of moral principles a person lives by. Ethics can be set by the environment around a person. Things can factor in such as their family, culture, and friends etc. Everybody has their different opinions of what ethic codes that are most important for one to follow. I have analyzed that it was unethical that Victor created a monster then ran away from it. It was unethical for Victor Frankenstein to create life to abandon it. As well as taunt the creations’ existences, which caused four demise by a domino effect. In that moment, I gathered the realization that type of science was ethically wrong. Even though having current technology that can help humanity, unethical science should …show more content…
Now scientists have found a method to prolong life for the elderly by taking blood from young children. The pros to that would be longer life spans, and less time having to mourn over the death of a love one. As well as funeral cost, and spending more time with your love ones while they are on earth. The cons to it’s unethical of scientists to take blood from love ones for “selfish gain”. It is self-gain because it’s trying to have more years on the earth doing what most elderly people consider painful. This can be related to Jurassic Park, because both are living organisms that should stay in their time period. Trying to prologue time will have a rippling effect on things around it, so it is best to leave them in its time period. The last article, “DNA Nanobots set to seek and Destroy Cancer cells in Human Trail.” are the trails of cancer victims that had nanobots inside their system destroying cancerous cells. This would be a substitute for chemotherapy, it will give the cancer victim a chance to fight it without pumping numerous rounds of chemicals into their body that may kill them alone. The cons to it would be the nanobots malfunction into the blood causing it to target the wrong cells. Overall, I find it ethical enough to continue trails to perfect it on its way. This can relate to both Frankenstein and Jurassic Park in two different aspects. It relates to Frankenstein because Victor could’ve perfected his work since he knew that the monster lived, but instead he chose to give up on it. Which caused people to die in that fault, if scientists do not continue to work with it many more people can die from cancer. It relates to Jurassic Park by the trying to create a dinosaur that did not even exist at all. By doing that it had a very bad fail to it. Scientists can keep that in mind when making modifications in this DNA
There are many famous phrases out in the world, but the one that people tend to use the most is “An eye for an eye”. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, analyzes the role of punishment and forgiveness in society. This novel makes the people apply the lessons of writing to our own particular moral convictions with respect to the part of punishment and forgiveness in the justice system. Through the actions of Victor Frankenstein's creature, and their society, the novel explores the complexity of ethically and legally attaining justice and its circumstances. The monster does not say that he is justified in killing Victor’s loved ones, but his categorizing his murders as some type of getting Victor back in some way.
However, many find this research unethical because of the method of collecting stem cells. Like Victor Frankenstein’s experiment,
As technology advances, the lives of many people are getting better. This is portrayed by in, “Dr. D” a nonfiction article by Lauren Slater, which is about the works and dreams of a plastic surgeon who reasons that putting wings on a human can be the next big thing. Another nonfiction article, “Replaceable You” by Smithsonian Magazines, talks about the production of the bionic limbs and organs, and how they helped many people feel like they don’t have a disability or lack of something which someone has. Frankenstein, on the other hand, is a fictional story crafted by Mary Shelley which portrays a man who creates a monster from the dead to try to destroy death, but instead creates more deaths because of his ignorance. Technology designed for
This is because scientists are injecting one gene from a species into an entirely different species, creating the possibility of a “normal” outcome to be
The other ethical controversy of CRISPR is designer babies. The technology could be used in reproductive cells. Thus, parents would be able to alter their gametes in order to create a child with traits they want their child to have. For example, parents with brown eyes who viewed blue eyes as better for their child the technology makes this possible by editing the DNA in chromosome 19. The concern of this is that humankind will lose variety.
In Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein”, Victor Frankenstein crosses the ethical line of science by creating a monster that should not have existed. He did not have any king of ethics committee to stop him from creating something truly horrible. Nowadays, scientists are limited, not by what they can do, but what they are allowed to do. One of these experiments, was the Ape Man experiment, proposed, but not allowed to begin was supposed to mate a human and a chimp. Successfully creating this hybrid would provide a huge amount of information about evolution and genomes of humans and monkeys.
In Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, it scrutinizes the punishments when a man creates life, and plays the role of God. Victor Frankenstein, is at fault for the creature’s actions. Victor was looking for some honor and triumph, but when he accomplished his experiment, not only did it bring terror to Victor, but to the whole world. The monster never learned right from wrong and was never raised correctly, his first moment of life, all he experienced was the fear in Victor's emotion, and was abandoned right from the start. Victor selfishly isolated himself from society and ran away from his responsibilities which caused destruction to the people Victor cared for and loved deeply.
People are not born with the mentality to kill—or are they? Human ambition and desires vary from one another, but for the most part, humans do not seek to commit atrocities. If they do, then who is to blame, the murderer or the ones who raised the murderer? In Mary Shelley’s novel, the main character, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, stitched body parts together to create a beyond hideous, vile-looking creature which caused Frankenstein to abandon him at sight. When the monster ends up killing Frankenstein’s beloved brother due to resentment, one can argue that the creature’s actions are justified (55).
It was refreshing, innovative, yet sophisticated as the idea of nanotainer was very foreign to everyone. The question was if Holmes could execute everything that she envisioned when Holmes founded this company. The answer was quite simple: it was improbable to execute the plans. First, the technology showed inaccurate blood test results that some patients were revisited for traditional method. Because it was cheaper and faster, the patients were sent back to Theranos partnered centers for blood tests (2).
That power trip in humans can lead to an unhealthy obsession. Scientist who create clones will have too much power, which will lead to them becoming so obsessed with their work that that is all they care about. In “The Birthmark,” Aylmer became obsessed with just the slightest flaw in a perfect woman, to the point where “when they sat together at the evening hearth his eyes wandered stealthily to her cheek…” (Hawthorne 2). Even when Aylmer was sitting, enjoying time with his wife, he was thinking about the birthmark.
Throughout the novel, the main character Frankenstein, made many poor decisions that I would consider to be morally wrong and unethical. Frankenstein’s research and discoveries are ethically wrong because he was taking dead bodies from cemeteries, cutting off their limbs, and body parts to create a human like creature. He did not have anyone's consent to do this study causing it to be unethical, and he also should not be able to do this because he is playing the role of god. In the beginning of the book, Victor Frankenstein described to Walton that he had created a monster using body parts from a graveyard.
It supposes important progress in the fight against diseases such as diabetes, some cancers and others hereditary diseases. Although they have many advantages, they also pose ethical problems, often motivated by the interests and bad practices of multinational
The creature’s misdeeds against humanity can be justified because his creator didn't take proper care for his creation. The creature states,” Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us. Your purpose to kill me”(P.112). Even though Victor found success in creating a creation, he decided to replicate the usefulness of his finding. Instead of being something Victor could celebrate and help the people in need, he chose to alienate his creation, forcing his creation to take matters into his own hands.
Ethics can be explained as principles a society develops to guide decisions about what is right and wrong. Ethical principles that society has are influenced by religion, history, and experience of the people in the group. Meaning that ethics is based on guidelines we have learned while growing up, that helps us differentiates what is right and what is wrong. For example, some people think health care should be a human right as others think it should only be available to those who can pay for it. Each group of people is guided by the principles they believe in.
There are ethical challenges as the technology develops, such as the autonomous machines may supersede humans and threaten human existence, and new DNA-based treatment might be the trigger of privacy problems. First, ethics is the philosophical study that deals with what is morally right and wrong in wide scale not only in the scientific field, but also in public, and ethical problems occur as the new technology emerges. Emerging technology includes new technologies and technologies that are starting to be used. For instance, fuel-cell vehicles, artificial intelligence the digital genome, and robots are the emerging technologies. (Al-Rodhan 2).
