The Future
The technological future of our world is scary but necessary for the advancement of mankind. Never the less when our future is the topic of discussion, controversy begins to take root. There are some scientists who believe that robots and super humans are in our near future. There are those who support moving ahead with the cloning of human beings and stem cell research. Some of these researchers believe we may even be ready to try for a better race. They claim that technology will soon rid the world of the many ailments that are afflicting societies worldwide. One could hardly argue when there are so many people suffering from cancer and other serious diseases. Critics of these advancements would argue that humans would be tampering with Nature. (Toffler, 1970) We must ask ourselves two questions. What would be the ramifications if we did and what would they be if we didn’t? To the mother whose child has cancer, can we ignore her and the child’s constant struggle? Of course the answer depends on who is being asked? I’m presently straddling the fence in regards to this topic. My faith conflicts with most of these proposed advancements. I personally believe that we should leave creation to the Creator however another part of me wonders if had not been for the boldness of scientists many of today’s treatable diseases wouldn’t have cures.
