On the power of man: A position paper on synthetic biology BBC Horizon’s documentary “Playing God” has given its viewers a glimpse on the technological advances of the field Synthetic Biology‚ a field that dwells on the so-called artificial life. Like what almost all the field of science has been brought about‚ synthetic biology’s aim is to be of benefit to the human kind—to serve our dominant race for scientific and economic prosperity. In itself‚ however‚ ethical issues are bugging this

But‚ What About Our Future? “That’s sad. How plastic and artificial life has become. It gets harder and harder to find something…real.” ― Jess C. Scott‚ The Other Side of Life This quotation is ironic to the plot presented in the novel Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. The basic idea of the quote is that the more material items you obtain or desire‚ the more "plastic" you become. Although the clones in this novel are technically artificial‚ they appear‚ act‚ and think as humans showing their "realness"

Can Machines Think ? This paper regards several points of view on the subject of‚ what is commonly referred to as Artificial Intelligence‚ or AI. AI is the attempt to make machines‚ specifically computers‚ perform intelligently through programming. Already‚ this definition has a problem in that the word intelligence can have many interpretations. This essay will attempt to put forward some ideas for how to approach this problem. It could be said that the human brain is nothing more than a machine

The usual claim made by the pro camp is that man is a ‘biological machine’ and is conscious‚ ergo‚ a machine is conscious. If we‚ humans‚ are truly biological machines and we are at the same time conscious then I would agree that yes‚ categorically‚ a machine could be conscious. But is it really that simple? I contend that it is a more difficult problem but not that it is a complicated
