Vaccines and medicines demonstrate the scientific process of inquiry entailed in their development, safe use, improvements, breakthroughs and issues, in order to treat and cure diseases. Reflecting on the scientific method and the systematic process of inquiry involved in developing these technologies, a) Explain what part of the scientific process do you think could be the source of fear and apprehension in the USE or REFUSAL of these technological breakthroughs in medicine?

List 3 possible benefits from this scenario: "Nanotechnology can provide alternatives to early detection of cancer cells, drug delivery, and injectable vaccines that to this day rely on healthcare professionals to administer." Note: BENEFITS are the advantages, good effects/impacts, or profit resulting from the scenario.
A key result of the pandemic has been the increased scrutiny of scientific research by a broader and, in some cases, a less experienced audience, resulting in significant discussions about the basic tenets of scientific theory and discovery. How would you help people understand the enduring value of experimental science to our society for effectively addressing challenging human health problems?
Basic research is key to innovation, but has a funding problem. In terms of the quality of the science, which of the following is the best solution? Increase the public’s investment in basic research (e.g., individual taxes, tuition) Ask the beneficiaries of basic research (e.g., tech, industry, pharma) to directly fund research at universities Tax the beneficiaries of basic research (e.g., tech, industry, pharma) and distribute funds to basic research through an unaffiliated intermediary Demand that the beneficiaries of basic research (e.g., tech, industry, pharma) conduct more basic research within their organizations Which of the following does NOT represent an adaptation to absorb and withstand high forces in a hyena jaw? Spongy bone Incorporation of minerals and proteins into the biological material experiencing the force Arrangement of fibers in parallel 3D structures ???? Fusion of small bones
The Scientific Revolution, starting with Copernicus in the 15th century and ending with Newton in the early 18th century, would have profound impact as it heralded the birth of modern science and the scientific method. The result was important advances in the basic sciences as well as medicine itself in Europe during this period (15th through the 18th century) that would make possible the prevention and cure of diseases. Define the Scientific Method and discuss how it relates to advances in medicine ((hint: microscopy, anatomy, chemistry and the study of specific diseases).
The application of evolution to understanding disease is widespread and productive. What is the benefit of applying Darwinian principles to medical practice?
As research techniques and technologies change, new ethical questions arise about whether the benefits of these techniques and procedures justify their use. Which technologies do you consider are current threats to ethical behavior in science and threaten to exploit research subjects?
Given the open nature of basic scientific research, how does one provide consent for future uses or applications, or understand the scope of unknown health risks associated with a procedure or drug? What would be the first thing you would look for more information on if you were thinking about enrolling in a clinical trial looking for healthy volunteers in which to test a drug?
List three (3) issues that biological research may help us solve in the near future. Discuss how that biological research may solve the said issues.
New things to investigate are continually being discovered. For example, modern medical imaging technology allowed biologists to discover structures called the "interstitium" that are now being evaluated as a new organ because of their importance in the physiology of the human body. Although they have different approaches for investigating scientific phenomena, the three types of scientific inquiry work together to help scientists understand phenomena. When something new is discovered, the first types of scientific inquiry will be [ Select ] ["hypothesis-driven experiments", "develop models/theory", "observational descriptive studies"] . Once these initial studies lay a foundation of knowledge about the new discovery, [ Select ] ["hypothesis-driven experiments", "observational descriptive studies", "develop models/theory"] can begin to test various aspects related to it. Finally,…
What are the novel technologies, experiments, or materials (in vitro or silico) that provide ‘replacements’ for animals in experimentations?3R'SREPLACEMENT: means the substitution of living animals by in vitro techniques (eg cells, tissues), computerized models, etc.
What is an argument for allowing assisted suicide or euthanasia for terminally ill patients? Describe an argument against allowing assisted suicide or euthanasia. Explain an example of medical researchers failing to respect the moral interests of research study participants. What went wrong? What principles could have been employed to better protect the participants?
How may nanotechnology help in the fight against sickness and its treatment? In what other ways might nanotechnology be used, and what additional examples can you give?
