Biodiversity and Healthy Society

                                              


       Our planet is known for its teeming variety of life. Plants, animals, and natural resources all together create what we call "biodiversity." Our biodiversity provides us with everything we need in order to survive: the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the things we use for our daily necessities. Just like any other species, correct interaction with our biodiversity ensures our survival. However, the only thing that separates us from other species is our ability to think, which is the birthplace of our brilliant creations such as technology. With the use of our technology, which is basically for our benefit, it has ousted some natural factors wherein we have destroyed so much in our environment and biodiversity, which led to the extinction of some astonishing species and, if possible, our own extinction too.

The Aspects of Gene Therapy

Image
This is yet another futuristic one, but it is far from impossible. Gene therapy is a cutting-edge medical intervention, a breakthrough in manipulating genes that could even cure various genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, or 'cys', muscular dystrophy, and even cancer, which is a matter that researchers still have so much to learn. However, this light of endearing hope of freedom from these intricate diseases also raises potent concerns. Such as its availability, since we all know that this act of 'playing god' should take a great price, it potentially creates disparities based on socio-economic factors. The other thing is its public perception, whereas the perception of altering genes is critical since such an act of modifying one's body is something that people believe only 'gods' could do, hence creating misunderstandings and potential societal dilemmas. To sum the topic up, this advancement in the field of medical innovation sure has the transforma

  Technology is just an extension of ourselves, enhancing our innermost potential to adapt to changing times. Since the invention of technology, we have achieved numerous revolutions that paved the path for humanity. We have allowed ourselves to communicate without seeing each other, travel through distant places without a sweat, and course through the heavens without wings. Humanity is undoubtedly just brilliant beings; we have so far achieved the impossible because of technology. Morever, this light of endearing achievements of ourselves sure is cast through the cosmos, but we may have forgotten that it is also an implication of shadows being cast underneath.
