In a study conducted in 2002, 61 percent of the population reported to wear glasses or contacts. That is more that six out of every ten people. While many choose to wear glasses, contact lens provide much more benefits and casualties. They sit right on top of the eyes, hence allowing unobstructed vision (particularly peripheral vision). Further, contact lens conform to the curvature of the eyes, providing a wider viewing angle or field of view. They can be worn during many activities and sports,

research and development company. The company is in the final stages of going to market with their Heart Valve System. In an effort to obtain additional financing, the company has decided to partner with Bionic Body, a publicly held SEC registrant. As part of the arrangement, the company has sold Bionic $3.5 million shares of $1

Heart disease is a very common medical issue, and scientists and doctors have been looking for decades to improve the lives of those who suffer from these conditions. The heart begins to fail once it cannot supply enough blood to the body. In most cases, the only solution was a total heart transplant. These transplants come from donors, and thousands of people are on waiting lists for these hearts. For many years, doctors could use various heart implants that would assist the heart in functioning

Technology has been rapidly increasing in the 21st century. Dr. Ray Kurzweil has made successful calculations and predictions on technology advancements about the future during the 1980s. “His predictions featured the invention of small devices that may include a function to assist people who are blind, and give them the ability to read documents at anytime and location. He also predicted the rapid internet boom in the 1990s, which evidently became true.” Despite many of the new technology advancements

In regards to our treatment of nature, you write, “Today, however, the population has grown to the point that nature itself is threatened but we have no ethical tools with which to protect and defend nature.” This problem has existed for quite some time, but has just not began to go widely noticed. A philosopher in his own right, Daniel Quinn, speaks of similar topics using his character, Ishmael, to do so. To best describe this scenario, Ishmael had a poster which read, “With man gone, will there

Genetic Disorder: Retinitis Pigmentosa Retinitis pigmentosa(RP) is an inherited, degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision impairment due to the progressive degeneration of the rod photoreceptor cells in the retina . Retinitis pigmentosa is one of the most common inherited diseases of the retina, affecting 1.5 million people worldwide. Up to 150 mutations are known to cause retinitis pigmentosa, which includes three genetic inheritance patterns- autosomal dominant inheritance, autosomal

Over 360 million people or about five percent of the world population have disabling hearing loss (Deafness). Disabling hearing loss refers to hearing loss greater than 40 decibels for adults and a hearing loss of greater than 30 decibels for children (Deafness). 40 decibels is equivalent to the tune of a refrigerator humming. Although hearing loss can be mild, moderate, severe, or profound -- there are numerous ways of improving the damaged hearing (Deafness). The most common ways are through

to make up for our faults is a form of playing God, an unforgivable crime. If at its core, the parts that are created simply make life simpler for humanity, then it is not something negative at all. One is still human when they have a pacemaker, a bionic limb, or even an entirely artificial brain. Humans have always found ways to improve life, and this replication is just one of those

extremely bulky and stiff due to the fact I couldn't normally bend my arm, and I felt standoffish once again. Later that day, I went to my high school girls' soccer game as the team's manager. When I had arrived, the team turned their attention to my bionic-like arm. They bursted with awe, some with greater shock than others, but nevertheless, they were delighted to see me recovering. As if it were a pep rally, the team lined up and gently high-fived my once-injured limb. Although I probably had an awkward

prosthetics were made of plastic, wood, and leather. Recently, doctors have designed a prosthetic arm in which the nerves from the brain are sent to the arm. This allows full function. This is only the beginning to a future of bionic prosthetic arms. In the future, doctors could design a bionic arm that doesn't look so robotic. A new arm that looks real and has full function might be designed. If doctors keep on being innovative, the most high tech arm could be created, and the prosthesis will be easy to access
