There you
are walking in your neighborhood, people smile at you, you haven’t felt this
great in years. Why are you feeling this way? That’s because this is the first
time you have walked since an accident took away your precious legs and left
you wheelchair bounded. This is an amazing feat of human technology to restore
people to their prior selves before an illness or accident. This is not without
some drawbacks, while some kids are gleaming with intense joy as if they have
seen a superhero strolling around in their neighborhood. There are some kids
that fall in terror, run to their parents, or just flat out cry.
While
this is a harsh reality of bioengineering, nothing is perfect, especially the
technology we have currently. While our current technology can allow the blind
to see, the paralyzed move, or the disabled to live life to the fullest. It
comes with the painful toll of either lugging around an exhaustingly heavy
metal arm that is not comfortable in the slightest, or your arm can only work
four hours of the day thereby teasing the user of restoration of his body.
Fear Not! Technology
is progressing faster than ever. The fear of this technology is the pressures
on our scientists. While the demand is increasing everyday, the technology has
to be built on a sturdy base to allow for progression to grow to the visions
that we all dream of in our fantasies.
