Science and Technology

Ethical controversies have risen over the past century as technology advances with each passing of the day. There would always be different extremes to the subject of ethics. Thus, it may be seen as a war between what is morally right and wrong, and what is legally acceptable and what is not. Firstly, it is important to establish the fact of practical reasons, that science and technology would always have a practical use or reason. It could range from the need to cure a disease, replacing a limb to travelling to the moon and communicating with others. Thus, technologies such as antibiotics, spacecrafts and satellites are invented for a reason. Every creation marks a new milestone for the development of science and technology, as well as a breakthrough for the field of study. However, people would have practical objections - against how people are exploring science and technology. There would definitely be people who are doubtful and questions the science and technology of the modern era. In this day and age, despite being technologically advanced, it is still far from perfection. The rate of success is debatable amongst people, and some people may disagree that all modern technologies work. This is clearly a point of discussion for cloning. It took 276 tries before scientists managed to clone the infamous Dolly the sheep on 5th of July 1996. Even then, after countless efforts and succeeding eventually, Dolly the sheep developed early arthritis and died, prematurely and unnaturally aged. This proves that even after succeeding in cloning, the cloned subject may still be deformed or mutated. Therefore, it proves that science and tech may not be the best solution after all.
