The Idea Of Progress (Baptiste TES2)

The Idea of Progress

The idea of progress is to advance scientific and technological ideas. To help us in day-to-day life, for exemple. We are going to speak about three documents who oppose the ideas in the article.

The first document is a video, the movie is "The Sixth Day", the video talks about cloning of animals. It takes place in a "Repet Store" which is a store to clone lost animals. Adam came to see and to know if it is not dangerous as proceeded. The clone could be whitout soul and have the sharpteeth. But the salesman gives that advantages. For exemple, have the same dog, save his dogs and that proven the techhnology. I think it is bad because the dog will never be the same, it's impossible.

The second document is the text A and the picture on page 64. The picture is the cartoon, shows us with two big an ugly doctors while searching the perfect baby. The scientists doing research the perfect human with dna. This babies are "designer baby". However, we could talk about business, it's not natural. This process would not be good for the human species, there would be fewer differences and everyone would be perfect and causes discrimination for designer babies.

The last documents is the text B on page 64. this document is a newspaper. This document talks about genetic selection. There is one for and one against,for exemple, for to save lives, to cure diseases and to recreate a dead person. And against, it's not natural, could be dangerous, not completely safe and against laws on bioethics. I think the genetic selection can bring a lot to the improvement of life expectancy.
