And this phenomenon could be directly attributed to technology in the field of health. Multiple deadly diseases have been completely suppressed through the use of sophisticated cures like antibiotics and as a result, even the weakest and most vulnerable among us can live their lives in relative comfort, they can also reproduce with advanced techniques like in vitro fertilization (IVF), therefore, the phenomenon of survival of the fittest no longer applies here.]]> 2021-06-14 23:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/a001923/gmmt9ezguk5et10a/wish/1606215921 a001923 https://padlet.com/a001923/gmmt9ezguk5et10a/wish/1606229826 Many of the physically demanding obligations are no longer done. We no longer have to search for our food. We no longer have to fight formidable predators on a daily basis. The physical stress and demands on our body have decreased considerably. Machines have taken over the labor-intensive role in industries, agriculture, and transportation.]]> 2021-06-15 00:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/a001923/gmmt9ezguk5et10a/wish/1606229826 a001923 https://padlet.com/a001923/gmmt9ezguk5et10a/wish/1606243652 There are many technologies that are improving the physical and mental capacities of the human being beyond what is biologically possible.
