Discuss about the possibility of making an entire human
being with the technology we have today. What do you think of it? Would you be
able to accept an entirely synthesized human? What are the consequences? Do you
think science has a limit?
With the fast advancements in science, it's not a rare
possibility to make an entire human being in the future; but the
technology is not there yet. Creating individual organs may be possible but human body is very complex and putting together these organs and tissues in a way that they function properly is still too advanced for us. I think if this significant achievement was made, it would be
something to be proud of. However, I think that society would not be ready to
accept an entirely synthesized human due to the ethical controversies that
would arise. Society has difficulty accepting people with differences as it is, so it would most probably struggle with considering synthesized humans equal to natural humans. Personally
I would not be able to treat an entirely synthesized human like a natural human no matter how hard I tried
because I would know they were not conceived in a natural way and the way they were
synthesized goes against nature.
So why synthesize a human? What is the purpose? Would this
human be used as an experiment subject or slave? Would this human's life be valued? There are many consequences tied to this idea. Synthesizing a human being is not beneficial to people and there is no purpose to do such thing. Making
an entire human being brings ethical and religious controversies in society. Moreover,
It's not just the ethical issues in society that would be created, but
also the synthesized human itself would be affected too. The synthesized human
would have emotions just like all other humans and he might develop serious
psychological and identity problems. Also, there are health risks associated
with synthesis of humans as the synthesized human could have defects and
therefore go through additional pain and suffering. Furthermore, the money and
time spent on synthesizing humans could be spent on other research that is
actually beneficial to society.
Science is unlimited as there is always something to be discovered. What limits science are the human
capacities and societal ethnics. I believe science needs these restrictions as they are
essential in preventing society from destruction. We are responsible for where we apply our knowledge and its consequences. We should decide the right limits on science by considering the consequences of our scientific knowledge.
