Bionics and Biophysical Future


Would you support the development of a “bionic” person?

I completely support the development of a bionic person. I can’t imagine having to live life without arms, or legs or being paralyzed. I think if bionic body parts could be created and give these people back their body parts or ability to move that would be such an outstanding accomplishment. I really hope one day this can be accomplished and that the bionic parts are very advanced. This would make people with these limitations able to do so much more. It would give them their lives back to some extend. It would take away a lot of pain for the disabled and the hurting family members. Horrible sudden accidents where someone loses a limb or gets paralyzed would not be as tragic if we had an answer like this. Also people that are paralyzed or have lost limbs have been waiting long enough for a solution. It is time we give them one.



What is your opinion of the issues raised in “How EEG Devices Will Read Your Brain Waves And Change Your World?

I think that this is a concerning issue. Low says, that he only wants his EEG device to be used for medical purposes but yet it is being made available to anyone. There are also EEG devices being made for video games. I think this can become dangerous. This is another example of how our information can be given away without our knowledge or consent. In my opinion sometimes our advancement in technology can be too much and have consequences. This is an extreme example of this. I think this could have extreme consequences. This type of program should not be made available to just anyone but yet that is what is happening.
