Future Of Life Chapter 4-5 Summary
Future of Life Chapters 4-5
Daniel H
It Says/Quote
“No one can guess the full value of any kind of animal, plant or microorganism. Its potential is spread across a spectrum of known and as yet unimagined human needs.” Chapter 5, Page 113
I Say/Summary:
While we currently have a vast knowledge of various animals and plants and what purposes we can use them for, we have to recognize that there are countless other species out there that we have little to no knowledge about that could possibly have beneficial uses. Even the species we have a deep understanding of could surprise us in the future when we have better technology to research them more profoundly. The Author is trying to convey a message about how we are just killing off potential species

    The Way We Lived Summary

    In our cinematographic history is normal to see a common depiction of the Native Americans as primitive, salvage and violent people. Nonetheless, in the chapter 1 The First Americans of Binder’s The Way We Lived, Native Americans are mainly described as a civilized and orgamized group of people that showed certain traits of agriculture, technology and political relationships.…

    Analysis Of Destined To Survive By Israel Cohen

    As I read the book, “Destined to Survive” many thoughts raced through my mind. It is very hard to fully grasp the horrible, grueling, situation that the Jews were in during WW2. Israel Cohen’s story is depicted and discussed in this book through his very eye’s. While this is his very own life story, we must not forget the horrors that numerous other Jews faced during those traumatic times.…

    Our Posthuman Future Summary

    At the beginning of Our Posthuman Future by Francis Fukuyama, it talks about two different books: 1984 and Brave New World. These books talk about multiple technologies that would change and shape the next two generations. For the decade that these books were published it had them think that having a utopian world would have no consequences. I disagree with it for the most part, because if we are created to have certain qualities or characteristics then we would lose the understanding of what it means to be human. It referred to invetro fertilization and Fukoyama thought it was a deal with the devil. And it is in a way. We shouldn’t be allowed to mess with the creation of life or choose what they would look like, how they would act just because there might be that off chance that they may blame the parents instead of themselves. Biotechnology is not something to be trifled with. You must be careful with your steps or face the consequences of what the aftermath may be. Basically chapter one creates a visual for the future of the human race if evolution is pushed to far then we will face our own destruction that we caused.…

    Examples Of De-Extinction Isn T Worth It

    “De-extinction Probably isn’t Worth it”. This is the name of an article by Sarah Zielinski. I completely understand what she is talking about in her text, and I agree with her. De-extinction isn’t worth it mainly because it would take attention from other research, harm living creatures, and most of their habitats and food are gone.…

    Summary of "The Case for Animal Rights" Summary and Response Paper. This was written about the story "The Case for Animal Rights" by Tom Regan.

    The author argues inherent value. Regan points out animals should be able to experience life with inherent value of their own. Addressing commercial animal agriculture, the author declares "The fundamental moral wrong here is not that animals are kept in stressful close confinement or in isolation, or that their pain and suffering, their needs and preferences are ignored or discounted." Regan continues the only way to right the wrong would be to stop…

    Analysis Of The World Without Us By Alan Weisman

    In class we learn about invasive species and how they affect the species around them. We can describe humans as invasive species because we are very adaptable and grow quickly. We harm other organisms when we take over their habitat. We are killing off other species and growing. We have not yet learned to live amongst other species, and can only live off of them. This book shows us how much damage we have done to those around us and how the damage can only be completely undone by us simply disappearing forever. Also, in class we learn about biological diversity and why it is important. This book shows us that life would flourish without us, maintaining this biodiversity. We as humans are not helping the cause by killing off thousands of species and taking over their land and food. We are not helping by polluting the environment and making this planet harmful to breathe. We are not helping by contaminating the water with our fertilizer and factory runoff. The World Without Us shows us that there needs to be a change to save the planet and make it a place where everyone can live, not just…

    My Gut Level Response

    My gut level reaction is to say that’s a stupid thing to say. I’s not true to an extent. Just because something may not last forever, speeding up the inevitable doesn’t do anything productive and is a jerk move. Also, if a species is removed too early, it unbalances an ecosystem which would cause early extinction for other forms of life. People can argue that we humans will eventually be extinct, so why do we exist and try to continue to…

    should animals be used for researches?

    In different places of the world a lot of researches and product’s tests proceed by using animals. And for decades the debate of “should animals be used for these experiments?” has been inevitable. F. Barbara Orlans, in her book called “In The Name Of Science: Issues In Responsible Animal Experimentation”, says that the biomedical researches and testing the product’s safety are the experiments in which sixty percent of animals are being used. Maybe not all the people in the world see animals as me or as other humans that think like me. Not all the people see animals as species like us, with their own rights. There are a lot of people that see an animal as a “thing” that is been born for researches and for testing products for our safety. Another reason that animals should not bee used for these experiments is because not always the tests that are proceed in animal’s body have a successful end. So the suffer or the death of animals is not worth any profit to human. And the third reason is that they can use other ways to do these researches or tests, without the need of animals. Therefore people should stop using animals for their researches or for testing their new products.…

    Life in 2050

    We are on the threshold of a new era. Our planet’s climate is at risk. The century of oil is coming to an end, and the world’s energy supply must be put on a new and sustainable foundation. In 2050 the number of people living in cities will be almost as large as the world’s entire population today — and for the first time in history, there will be more senior citizens than children and young people. That’s why researchers, inventors, and engineers must be more creative today than ever before.…
