Question
Please write down your response after reading the paragraphs. (At least 5 sentences long, 150-200 words.)
Global health is a challenge that scientists and researchers have been monitoring for along time. Diseases such as cancer and AIDS are common throughout the world and treatment for them can cost thousands of dollars with no guarantee of a cure at the end. Also, the research to find a cure for these deadly, yet common diseases has been going for decades and very little progress has been made which leaves normal civilians no hope for a cure. Using technology as a major part of the solution to the global health challenge is an acceptable solution as long as proper guidelines are followed.
The idea brought up by Hamilton to use a chip on organs is one that can accelerate the research on cures for various life threatening illnesses, for it would be able to tell scientists exactly how each organ processes drugs and which chemicals it accepts immediately. However, finding out if these organ chips would work would require experimenting on humans, for animals have different needs than humans. This would cause an ethical dilemma, for any experiment that would be used to be experimented on would have his health on the line. The line between technology and human innovation is drawn when human health is risked. Although, human innovation is gradually becoming dependent on technology, I do not think it is a major issue.
Explanation / Answer
In the course of civilization, in order to make life better, technology has been increasing the comfort zone of human life and the modern innovations paved a human into the most creative species. In this case human life is dependent on technology on all aspects including his health. These things add to the digital solutions in the present day life. Of course each individual technology such as distribution ledger, artificial intelligence, robotics, chip transplants can have an enormous impact on society, but to understand what going digital really makes for the future upliftment. Apart from this, it is necessary to think about what the combination of these technologies can do. The real value is the way they accelerate and reinforce each other, such amplification effects create new fantastic new opportunities. Together digital technology can provide many solutions to the world biggest health issues such as dreadful HIV and many more caused by viruses which keep on changing their antigens time to time and many other issues such as poverty, pollution, global warming, inequality where things are connected to human health directly or indirectly.
