Chapter 9 Flashcards
“the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area”
Technology
Natural boundaries arehard boundaries that technology cannot physically
perform
Natural limit
Some things might be technically possible but be so
expensive that they are completely unworkable.
Economic Limits
limitations imposed by preexisting notions about
What is rigght and wronh in a particular culture.
Ethical limits
Humanitas
“human nature kindness”,
technological advancement has frequently been reinforced by congressional
initiatives over the past 30 and more - direct measures that concern budget outlays and the
provision of services government and indirect measures that include economic and legal changes.

dedicated to economic development.

the
technology market faces a crisis since the developing countries’ economic environment is
opposing technology-based institutions. Thus, the Philippines is taking action in reforming the
technology market by focusing on 23 industries as priority areas.

This criterion is solely based on their outcomes and consequences.
It is grounded to the concept of common good, wherein a certain thing or event should
serve the greatest good for the greatest number.
Utilitarian Criterion
This criterion urges an individual to decide based on the

Criterion based on “Rights
Criterion based on “Justice”.
This criterion requires individuals to impose and enforce
tules fairly with no exception to anybody to ensure equitable distribution of benefits and
costs.
enjoy autonomy from the state and society.
Science and technology, as well as research and development,
Real-time Satellite Surveillance Video
Companies such as Planet Labs and Skybox Imaging have launched lots of satellitesin the last year to record the entire Earth’s status in real-time.
The colonization of Mars and plans for long term space missions are already ongoing. NASA has launched the Orion spacecraft, and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden declared a “Day One of the Mars era.”
Astronaut Bioethics (of colonizing Mars)
We are presently involved in multiple technologies that monitor our behaviors. The development of dozens of bracelets and clip-on devices that monitor steps taken, activitylevels, heart rate, etc., not to mention the advent of organic electronics that can be layered, printed, painted, or grown on human skin, has led by the fitness tracking craze.
Wearable Technology
is a concept used to explain insurgents’ rights and duties during the armed struggle.
Soft War’
enhancing the pathogenicity of viruses such as influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
Enhanced Pathogens
weapons may not kill, but they can cause severe pain, physical injuries, and long-term health costs
(the latter has not been thoroughly investigated).
Non-lethal Weapons
Harvard University researchers created 1000 robots capable of communicating with each
other to perform simple tasks such as ordering themselves into shapes and patterns.
Robot Swarm
“playing God” because it allows individuals to create a life that does not exist naturally.
Artificial Life Forms
“To what way is it the responsibility of the federal government to assure civil infrastructure is resilient to environmental changes? When individuals act in their self- interest, there is the unique possibility that their actions fail to maintain infrastructure andprocesses that are essential for society.”
Resilient Social-Ecological Systems
Brain-to-Brain Interfaces
“What kind of neuro security can we put in place to protect individuals from havingaccidental information shared or removed from their brains? If two individuals shared an idea, who is entitled to claim ownership? Who is responsible for actions devoted by V E the recipient of a thought if a Separate thinker dictates the actions?”
The pursuit of human and animal hybrid today is to transcend the existing hybrids in cellular level. This idea follows Greek mythologies, but its value covers the problem we encounter on medicine, food security, etc. the natural reproduction and development is always intraspecies. Merging two species into one is of nature’s design, and it is the main ethical dilemma for this technological advancement
