Question of Concern: Playing God?

aleawhitehead — 2014-04-08 12:24:57 UTC

Science has evolved and as the human race continues to prosper and expand, so does our desire to invent and create.

Question 1: Do you think humans will be able to create artificial life in the future?

Question 2: Do you think combining technology and life (humanoids) is ethical and should be allowed?

Question 3: Give your opinion on human enhancements and whether you support or reject the idea.

1. Yes, I do believe that humans will be able to create artificial life in the future. We can already produce artificial organs. with time, we can produce human bodies.

2. I cannot say whether it is ethical or not. On the other hand, I do believe that it should be allowed. As humans, we should always strive to keep moving forward. We need to go after new problems so we can create new solutions. Humanoid could be the readon someone is able to escape a disease and continue living.

3. I do support the idea of human enhancements. I agree with anything that can be made into a better version of something including humsns.

Yes I do believe humans will be able to create artificial life in the future. It is bound to become

capable as we continue to advance scientifically and technologically as well. I am on the fence on regards

to if it is ethical or not. I am for advancements and that drive to continue going into the unknown. However,

I understand how it can be believed to be "Playing God." I still think as society we should look at the pros and cons.

1. Yes, it is inevitable that us humans will be able to advance technology in the future to lead to things such as artificial organs or even human life.

2. I do see both point of views, however, I do believe that it should be allowed. There are solutions that derive from advancement, and there is a possibility for

advancement and elongation of life.

3. I do support the idea of human enhancements. I agree in advancing technology as well as human life.

i believe humans will eventually create artificial intelligence in the future, but not life. They may even be able to create artificial animal lives. But only God can only create true human life because only God can give life a soul. I think it is fine to add technology to living creatures if it is for the purpose of extending their lives. people already use iron lungs to breath. human enhancements that are necessary for life are fine, but ascetic enhancement are evil. Fake Boo bs are evil things that should be ripped out of existence.
