Major Lessons Learned in Philosophy

Major Lessons Learned in Philosophy

     Well first let me just say that the topics I will mention below are the things I've learned during the finals period only. Then let's begin. The most memorable one is the topic about laws. As a teenager going to adulthood it's good to know your rights and duties as a citizen. Like "The right to redress in the event of a violation of these rights". I don't know what that means but I'm sure it'll come in handy someday. Okay so I've just read that it means remedy or compensation for a wrong or grievance. Which makes sense than changing the dress or wearing a red dress.

       The next one is about bioethics. Bioethics is the morality concerned in improving one's self or humanity. An example of this is self enhancement. The type of self enhancement that uses medicine and genetically engineering the human's DNA. There are 4 things to consider for bioethics in self enhancement. Safety -Tampering with DNA is very risky so it can cause health problems. Cheating - Of course we may use self enhancement to cheat our way through life, and cheating in itself is immoral. Excessive Pride- The enhancers propose radically altering our genes in an evolutionary blink of an eye. They want to start adding DNA to embryos and manufacturing new genes to insert in our eyes and ears and muscles. Can the brain and body handle such extraordinary shake-ups? Equality - The rich will be enhanced first. Only folks with cash to burn will be able to afford the fancy new memory drugs or fiendishly complicated new gene transfer technologies. BUT if they ever have an advancement that can get me spiderman powers then I'm all in. I've always dreamed of doing a back flip.
