As I researched on the web I found that because of the “rapid and dramatic development in medicine and technology professionals have the power to save more lives.” For example, when a person has cancer they undergo chemo and/or radiation. Some people have it with success and kill the cancer cells while others don’t. We also have people with AIDS who can live their life pain and symptom free thanks to medicine they have to take and things they have to undergo. Living with AIDS is a good example on a disease that is terminal and there is no cure for it but there are medicines that can and will help a person live life for many years and with very little to no…

Winslade argues that it is morally and legally impermissible to violate a competent patients right to refuse medical treatment. Through examples such as Dax Cowart, Winslade suggests that one should have the right to choose or refuse treatment rather than being forced to endure unwanted pain. Although he accepts the idea that Dax’s family members, doctors, and lawyers wanted to preserve Dax’s life for the possibility of a brighter future, Winslade firmly believes that Dax’s requests shouldn’t have been ignored. I will highlight both the physical and psychological transformations experienced by Dax, the doubt felt about the quality of his future life, the treatment and ignorance of his desires, and how his relationships were affected by the tragedy. Then, I will give multiple reasons of why I agree with Dr. Winslade’s argument and provide concrete recommendations for how to improve this ethical issue.…

The way we approach what we don’t understand seems like we take steps back instead of forward by sometimes ineffectively treating patients in experimental ways that our doctors know have a low success rate. And although in the year 2014 we feel that were a lot more superior and advanced than people in the ancient world we are wrong because still see similar issues in the medical field and our most effective treatment to a lot of diseases seems to be to stay hydrated and wait for the disease to be fought off not necessarily eliminated completely. We also see that because of ineffective medicine we sometimes turn to divine forces and faith rather than expecting what we think we know will help. Even after this long we still turn to methods used in ancient times such as Ayurveda, and the way that Indian and Greek medicine believed in the imbalance of the body internally due to external factors and doing things like not eating like we are suppose to and because of this we are obligated to find a cure for the diseases that have been around and mutating for years…

There is attention getting phrase in the beginning of the article that stated the world has been “Schumpetered.” This term is in reference to Joseph Schumpeter. (1) He is an Austrian economist that popularized the term ‘’creative destruction” to denote transformation that accompanies radical innovations. There will always be an individual using their unique mind for creation. The question is, “Does this invention help society, hinder society or is it a combination of the both?” This article does a great job sharing the opinion many others share as well.

All of our technology has come a very long way over the years. From the very first phone or television that was invented, it is unbelievable how these same devices look and function in today’s world.

Modern technology is very amazing in one aspect, but very crippling to us in another. We have become so dependent on it that we would be lost without all of our gadgets.…
Other advancements in the medical field are that research into importing people’s health range from discovering vaccines, for illness that in the past could have killed us, to making stem cells for skin cells (“Scientists Use Skin”). In 2000, the human genome was discovered with the advent of technology that would have never be possible otherwise, now one can read the complete set of human genetic information (“The Tops 10 Medical Advances”). The internet can now be used to gather information on a disease in mere minutes, unlike before that would take days, to better help the patient understand their ailment.
