    “At what point do children become artifacts designed to someone’s specifications rather than members of a family to be nurtured? (Hayes 245).” In “Genetically Modified Humans? No Thanks,” Richard Hayes argues against Ronald M.

    Going back to the title the dinosaur can be a symbol of extinction or bringing the past into the present. However, the author wants the audience to see how the dinosaur means clutching onto big childhood aspirations. Furthermore, hugging it tight and protecting it so it does not become extinct and just something one reads about in the past.

    The novels "The Jurassic Park" and "The War of the Worlds" were written by Michael Crichton and H.G. Wells respectively. The former was published in 1990 and the latter in 1898. Both novels belong to the science fiction genre and deal with issues related to survival of mankind. Wells's novel might have influenced the film version of "The Jurassic Park (1993)" although there is almost a century difference between their creations. An interesting fact is that Steven Spielberg, the director of the film, was also the director of the film version of "The War of The Worlds" which was released much later in 2005.…

    Currently, technology is advancing and with that, comes a gain in knowledge and in freedom, as we now have access to methods such as genetically modifying food and modifying babies. This is due to genetic engineering and biotechnology. Genetic engineering is the modification done to organisms to add new traits through the manual addition of DNA. It is done by removing certain genes to replace them with other to affect a certain trait. This can be used in various positive ways, such as to help those with type 1 diabetes by injecting insulin, as they have a deficiency in insulin.…

    Advancement in the area of science and technology has always created a buzz in our world. Our world runs on the belief that scientific discoveries or breakthrough will one by one rid of diseases and illnesses that is trying to harm human life, but it also runs on technology, from people’s need of energy/electricity for light to people’s addiction to smartphone, internet, and need of Wi-Fi. The advancement in both areas would have not been possible without the help of each other; the breakthroughs in science became easier, faster, and accurate due to the advancement and innovations in scientific machinery that aided in the breakthroughs in science area. In the last two decades, there have been numerous of advancements in both of the area, but one invention that caught my attention was invented in the April of 2003, The Human Genome Project. The Human genome project has been around for two decades, since its initiation and sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute.…

    A group of authors, Claudia Kalb, Anne Underwood, and Jonathan Mummelo, constructed an article called “Peering Into the Future” that scrutinized the progressing genetic testing further, stating: “Testing is just one piece of the genomic revolution. A major goal is to create new sophisticated therapies at home in on a disease’s biological glitch, then fix the problem” (Kalb, Underwood, Mummelo 1). By providing readers with another example of advantageous possibilities for the future of genetic engineering, the statement influences them even further towards the positivity that could transpire from the current technology our society has. Again, the author mentioned the progressing impact it could have in the medical field, which adds the effect of emotion on readers, distinctively, that the lives of people that are sick can be vastly enhanced.
