2. Fill in an example and defend the following statement, "One technological advance--either existing or in research in 2018--that scares me is ___________, because _______________."

Answer 1

1. Complete an example and defend the following statement: "An existing technological advance in 2018, which humans can not do without, is Genetic Engineering".

Comment: The editing of the human genome has the ability to radically alter the way we treat diseases, but it has its risks. In essence, the process allows us to replace a defective gene with a healthy one, or even edit the gene to make it behave differently; and this is an impact of biological science that has ramifications of impact. The scope of treatments for genetically inherited conditions is clear. If scientists can edit genes to remove inherited errors, then they can stop the development of those conditions. And this is wonderful, because the technological advances, in various fields, are accelerated and dynamic.

2. Complete an example and defend the following statement: "A technological advance, whether existing or under investigation in 2018, that scares me is the advancement of Genetic Engineering itself, because: That discovery has its bad side, for example, if They edit genes, for war purposes, tending to destruction or genes for cosmetic purposes, they can cause unforeseen damage Science can teach humanity what genetic technologies are capable of, but it depends on us how we want to use them. , the increase in the edition of the genome is one of the most significant advances in biological sciences and can impact millions.Science and medicine have seen many incredible innovations and discoveries to improve health during the last century.But in 2018 the threat of diseases that can spread throughout the world affecting millions of people has never been so great, epidemics such as Ebola and Zika have showed the significant threats that outbreaks of contagious diseases represent. 2018 will be an important year to continue efforts to better protect ourselves and ensure that all countries can act quickly to contain outbreaks of deadly infections and prevent health emergencies. This includes working on the development of new vaccines. Many of the epidemics that have the greatest danger to humanity could be prevented with vaccines, but very few vaccines have been developed against them. Antibiotics have been a vital part of medicine for more than 70 years. However, there is an increasing number of superbugs, or drug-resistant infections, that can not be treated by current antibiotics. In the world, these infections already kill many people a year. If effective actions are not taken this number will continue to grow. These months will be critical in the efforts to develop new antibiotics and innovative treatments to protect us from superbugs. Also to stop the excessive use and misuse of existing antibiotics and research that helps to understand how resistance is extended to them. "But improper and uncontrolled use of GI can have unfavorable consequences for humanity.
