One experiment that has had a huge positive impact on society, but also has the potential to result in unethical consequences is genetic engineering.
Scientists have been studying our DNA to detect mutations, identify our risk for certain diseases, and detect our inherited traits for medical, genealogical, and even forensic purposes. It's main goal, however, is to identify "key" genes in the human DNA, which control the expression of specific traits and diseases, so that they could be edited, corrected, and manipulated.
Through the years, these experiments has lead to several advancements that has benefited society.
In medicine, it has helped geneticists develop new cures and therapies to cure specific diseases. It has also helped prospective parents better prepare for the birth of their babies with newborn screening. It has even helped individuals identify their risk for certain diseases, so they can prepare accordingly. In the future, the hope is that through genetic engineering, scientists can eventually eradicate disease and extend the human lifespan.
In other fields, it has also helped improve food security through the development of genetically engineered crops and farm animals. And biologists today believe that with genetic engineering, the possibility of resurrecting formerly extinct animals like the mammoth or dodo is not far behind.
Despite these positive impacts, our genetic engineering experiments are still fraught with issues and dilemmas that can render it unethical.
One of the biggest ethical issues surrounding genetic engineering is the slippery slope it presents toward "designer babies", and eventually, eugenics where selective breeding is used to engineer a superior race. The argument is that while genetic engineering can help prevent diseases linked to faulty DNA, it also predisposes the population to the idea of "designer babies", where parents can pick and choose the traits they want for their offspring.
Given how expensive these procedures could be, this could lead to a society where rich people's children will be biologically superior over their middle class counterparts. And if taken a few steps further, the events of the 1997 sci-fi film Gattaca about a "not too distant future" where nearly everyone has been genetically-engineered, may not be too far fetched.
And finally, one of the breakthroughs scientists are hoping to achieve is the ability to edit human germline cells, such that any enhancements done on a person can be carried over to his or her offspring, as well.
This could be considered unethical because while the person gave his consent to have his DNA changed, his offspring did not. So, this begs the question of how far should we go in our attempts to improve our DNA.
It is clear that genetic engineering is one experiment that has had a huge impact on society. From securing our food source to potentially eradicating diseases and creating a healthier population with a longer lifespan. However, given its potentially unethical consequences, genetic engineering is also a field where we should thread lightly.
It depends on what information I want to obtain, but being said to be a computer programmer I always use StackOverflow and Youtube
StackOverFlow really do give informations that I was seeking in the field of programming. Given that it was a community for programmers, most of the questions that I was always seeking end up in the platform. But there were times where my questions was too unique that I can't find an answer to the platform, this is the time when I will try to find informations in
Youtube Like StackOverflow, youtube was very resourceful also. Let's add the fact that it was in video format that have some step by step process that will help viewers to understand thoroughly.
But despite of these sites I always use the Google Search Engine
This gives all the possible information that person can obtain.
Usually before specifying time for a particular endeavor, we tend to make short-term and long-term goals. If my goals begin to be invisible, I can become less motivated than when I always check how close I am to my goals during the process of reaching the goal. Keeping an eye on targets and checking my progress or progress will make me motivated every day.
2. Make checkpoints every week to monitor my progress.
Everyone needs to see where their progress is in achieving their goals if they want to continue to be motivated. If I see that my position fits the plan even more every time I check my progress, I will feel more motivated and happy because I'm getting closer to the target. If I see that I am experiencing obstacles, maybe that is the encouragement that I need to always not get off track towards the goal.
3. Make sure I give a gift for myself every time I reach my weekly goal.
The prize can be as simple as a bowl of ice cream after a hard workout for a week. What a great gift like going to a spa after hard work. Any gift that will keep me trying to reach the goal is what I have to give myself. Give myself a break or time to rest. Sometimes even the most determined people can be overwhelmed, I might force myself too much,
4. Don't push yourself too hard. Everybody sometimes has a setback.
If I fail to reach this week's goal, don't become too emotional. Let me make it a lesson. Not only the way I achieve the goals that must be considered, but how successful the results are and achieve the main goals.
Honestly I don't think I would. The thing with love is that the heart we can't choose who we love. You may have created this image of the perfect person for you in your head, but that doesn't actually mean that's the best person for you. If you can't seem to connect with him/her then that's probably a sign that they aren't right for you.
Marrying someone that you can't love effortlessly will never end well because when you do meet that person that you can love effortlessly, you'll be more than likely to cheat on the person and inevitably end your marriage.
Instead of putting yourselves through that kind of pain, how bout you two just remain as friends.
If he is "everything you ever wanted but your heart is not connecting", then one or the other is false (unless you wanted a no-heart connection :). In this case, maybe you are just looking at a few things based on appearance and are then taking that to mean all your needs will be met. But hang on a sec, your heart is not connecting, so where can you go with this? Would you go ahead and marry the person in the hope that maybe later on your heart will connect? Can that fire be lit later when there is not even a spark now? If your heart is not in it now, but your mind tells you that they are the 'person of your dreams', there is a contradiction - do you see it? What is the life of a person who is in a 'loveless' marriage which they have been led into it by the mind (it's useful, I'll be secure, he's got money, I'll be looked after, he says the right stuff etc etc), only to be disappointed later when the heart aches for what it desires but cannot get?
But the real question is 'do you love yourself?'. If you cannot give something to yourself, how can you give it to another?
Marriage is hard enough on its own let alone when you venture into it with no connection. Before you decide to marry someone, it is important you look beyond the attributes of the person and seek the chemistry.
Are you religiously compatible? Do you think and see things from the same angle? Are you sexually compatible? How emotionally connected are you both? All these are very important factors when it comes to marriage. It is not just about love but when you say connection I know it is more than just love.
Simply put, this person is good but he irritates you so you won't let him cuddle you or kiss you and express PDA with you and you feel it is all about connecting? Stop it dear. This man isn't for you. You will end up in an unhappy marriage. Help us reduce the divorce rate by getting it right before venturing into it.
Only marry someone you have strong chemistry with in all levels.
Costs can run high without achieving goals that are achieved quickly. In addition, there was anxiety among team members due to over administration. Risk management is often a secondary problem. When startup is successful, initially they reduce risk management in the hope that the startup team leader can handle the problem and problems when they occur.
Risk remains a secondary problem during startup failure or until there are missed opportunities or targets. In the long run, potential risks can occur and without a clear mitigation strategy, startups will eventually pay the price, calculated in terms of lost resources, a burst schedule, or a flooded capex. In certain scenarios, companies may need to register under the regulatory authority, which can request regular or scheduled audits or implying certain conditions in the future that require the application and follow a certain risk management framework.
When startup does not follow the framework as required by the regulatory authority, this may mean startup problems. These issues are related to local government agencies because they run companies without meeting regulatory requirements.
Entrepreneurs risk losing
There is a problem with risk management. When an entrepreneur is at risk of losing money, it makes someone look pessimistic and disturbing,while not taking a proactive attitude to risk, making it a progressive team player.
Purpose Risk management is to prepare as much business as possible for all factors, known and unknown, which can hinder their success in any way.
Will Hivemind initially only be accessible using Python? Or is access to the data through the SQL database? Will it have libraries for other languages like JS?
According to what I've read and what I've been told, Hivemind will have an API that will of course be accessible through any language that is able to use that API. I don't suppose they'd block a whole innovative API, which has been promoted for months as a "revolution", for just one scripting language.
Mosquitoes! Of course! Everybody hates mozzies. Their bite cause itchiness and discomfort to its victims. They fly around disturbing your sleep with constant buzzing.
But the most dangerous point of mosquitoes are the diseases that they are responsible in spreading. Here are the diseases they help spread, some of them are extremely dangerous and critical;
and most recently, the Zika fever, which not only claim lives but also causes deformed newborns.
The only purpose of mosquitoes is that their larvae contribute (very slightly) to the ecosystem. Mosquitoes need water to breed and their larvae grows on the surface of water for days. These larvae are food for other animals such as bird. However, besides mosquitoes larvae, birds can also feed on other insects. Mosquitoes larvae is not too important in this aspect.
Therefore, God should have never created mosquitoes. They do more harm than good. And mankind don't need these mozzies.
Honestly I wouldn't say life is fair but more like it tries to balance things out.
As per your example: People who are born into rich families are often not very united as a family because they focus mostly on work, their businesses and trying to maintain their wealth as oppose to poor-to-average families who have a lot of chance to connect with each other due to them living in an average-sized house.
People who are beautiful/handsome might look like they have it easy, but the most common problem they face is finding a true and real partner. It is no hidden fact that people are attracted to beauty and that is why for this people they really need to test first if it's not only the physical appearance or lust the other party wants and feels about them.
Not really sure if this is a good example of people who have great luck but for simplicity's sake, people who have won the lottery. True they are somewhat blessed at one point in their life but if they don't know how to manage the money nor know who to trust, then their winnings could be gone in less than 5 years.
Life seems unfair, especially if we are born with difficult conditions, lack of economy, bad looks, unless we win in many ways, then we all surely feel life is unfair. There are those who live easily and get things easily, environments that are more peaceful and supportive, more families are, greater opportunity to achieve education / work / ideals and others.
But that does not mean we have to live this unjust life, the more we demand the world to be fair, the more sad we will be because justice has never existed from the beginning. The World of Play with different rules, rules that make sense but are a little confusing and less comfortable to hear, by why many people never understand.
1. We Believe that life is a choice. Indeed life is a choice but we cannot choose to be born where, when we were born, who our family is, our physical appearance, our physical appearance, and things that are destined for us.
Almost everyone around the first 15-20 years of his life is not their choice, but the accumulation of parental / family, school, environmental and social direction. Life is a choice our optional name is limited to a certain age we are free to determine our own destiny.
2. Life is a Competition
We often hear that we are not competing with others, the biggest enemy is ourselves, we must defeat ourselves, and so on until we finally realize that we must be better than others to win.
We all live in competition, even though we are not aware of it. An achievement / success must still be measured / compared with others, it may sound uncomfortable and strange, but think if your goal of success is wealthy for example having 100 billion in money (just an example) but everyone around you can earn 10 trillion in income, still you are proud of that achievement? Can it be called success.
3. We are Assessed from What We Do, Not What We Think
Society Assess someone from what they can do for others. We are all judged by what we do, but we judge ourselves based on our thoughts. We judge ourselves that "I am a good person", "," I am better ... ", but the world does not judge us like that, and our judgment about ourselves is not important.
4. The concept of justice is our own mind
we all have the right and wrong thoughts and hope the world is in line with our minds.
Sometimes we feel other people are stupid, unfair, unintelligent, and evil because they don't think with us.
We demand that they have to think with us. Why? Because we are entities of truth that need not be questioned again. questioned again.
Sometimes it is true that there are people / figures who are wrong because they are not as thoughtful as us, it does not mean they are completely wrong / evil, but some people just try to live life as best as possible with the situation / position that is different from our situation.
Why Is Life Unfair?
Justice is just one of the ideals of human thought, let us think a little and turn the question back into:
What if life is fair for everyone ...?
Isn't life a bushel if life is "Fair / Fair" according to our idealism, all good people must be successful, everyone who is in high school must be successful, those who work hard must be successful.
It is true that being born in a rich family was considered lucky and being born in a poor family wasn't considered.
But come to think of it, life doesn't always depend on the LUCK. We still need to make our effort to became what we want.
For me, we are all equal. We all have the chance to became rich, despite on how hard we can obtain this goal - still we are allowed to became rich.
It isn't impossible for a poor kid became rich someday, investing of his efforts and hardwork are the things that only differs.
I do have this kind of thinking in life
"There were the chance rule in life, we have these
There were 30% chance that I will become rich
There were 70% chance that I became rich
there were 10% chance that I will become rich"
Those were just 3 examples of the chance rule, if I would elaborate more we would end up having 100 items in the list (assuming that there were no decimal percentage)
Too many choices that would make your mind explode, so I came up on my rule
"One way or another rule / 50:50 Rule"
I do believe that we only have 2 choices in life, either choose life or death, either choose left or right, win or lose, up or down, either becoming rich or becoming poor
This concludes that 2 choices only exist, 50:50 chance, let's don't waste our time solving some mathematical equations to compute the percentage of success to our every actions. Thus let us use that time to come up on an idea that will help us succeed.
That's just the way life is, you can't blame it on anyone or anything, because many times we don't realize what we do to earn what we do, sometimes it's deserved and other times it's not but it just happens, I'll tell you my story, life hit me very hard when I had my first child, it turned out to be autistic, and this just happened, for no apparent reason, it's something that happens, and it cost me a lot to understand that, because I always wondered why, I understood that it only happens, and all this is art of life, the issue here is the attitude with which you face life, always willing to fight, as a soldier in war, and I assure you that you'll be better off, it's a matter of attitude.
I've been on Australian Ninja Warrior, and it was literally the most fun thing I've ever done. The training is absolutely huge, and honestly, takes about a year, but it really is incredible. The crowd is hugely supportive and the obstacles are really fun. I got up to the semi-finals.... and then went out on a silly balance obstacle. I've been working on balance ever since. I'd love to be able to get back onto the show.
I wrote a post on that 2 months ago here on steemit.
Ecology is simply how we relate with ourselves in relation to the environment.
People should know that for every actions they take, there is an impact on the environment and the impact is either positive or negative. All our daily activities have an impact on the environment.
The environment provides us with food, water, a place to erect our buildings, economic growth and so on. Therefore, we should respect it.
Imagine you are in a place with no food, water, a place to rest, good air. How do you think you can survive. Humans have no regard to the environment/ecosystem due to their pursuit of economic advancement, personal advancement which should not be so.
A comprehensive Environmental impact assessment is a good tool to solve this issue and make people more conscious of why they do that may harm the environment.
One good way to motivate others to be ecologically conscious is to introduce them to ecologically sustainable products and solutions that they can use without altering their behavior.
For example, instead of explaining the reasons why they should stop using plastic straws and utensils, why not gift them with a metal straw that they can carry anywhere, so they can use it instead of plastic straws. Or, instead of trying to convince them to save electricity, why not show them more energy-efficient alternatives to their current devices and appliance, and show the potential cost-savings involved.
By reducing the friction involved on their part or not making it seem like a big deal, perhaps you can nudge their way into ecological consciousness.
people know that by destroying ecology it certainly has a threat to human life. But until now even humans are not aware of the dangers that must be borne, instead humans continue to destroy it in pursuit of economic value. By looking at ecological problems and their impact on humans, in this paper I want to explore concepts and the phenomenon of ecological damage and the attitude that needs to be built in the face of a dilemma between the threat of the soul and mutual welfare.
Relationships Dependence between humans and the environment is a fundamental entity that cannot be underestimated. Human existence is always faced with environmental problems, between disasters and welfare. In every city in the name of development to answer the population explosion, food needs, shelter and clothing as well as a place to live ecological damage is always increasing.
We need to understand that no matter how small an act of damaging nature by a person and the same actions taken by tens of millions of city dwellers in a country can have a global impact. As a result, the island nation must suffer the loss of a part of the island because it is submerged in the sea.
Okay. I think switching Samuel L Jackson in The hitman bodyguard with Kevin Hart in Think like a man too will give the most odd film.
Samuel L Jackson though having little humour is more of an action actor and will find it difficult to fit in Think like a man too. It's so odd that it's going to get so much negative reviews.
Now imagine Kevin Hart dodging bullets, summersaulting, firing at Dukhovich men. Kevin Hart portraying Darius is so absurd. It's the biggest unfit or should I call it misfit that I could ever think of.
What unethical experiment would have the biggest positive impact on society as a whole?
One experiment that has had a huge positive impact on society, but also has the potential to result in unethical consequences is genetic engineering.

However, given its potentially unethical consequences, genetic engineering is also a field where we should thread lightly.
Hope this helps.

knowledge,another platform that i am impressed with is this platform which is musing.io,this platform is now a

What if you meet someone of your dream, he is everything you ever wanted but your heart is not connecting, you've try to love the person but it's looking like you forcing it. Will you go ahead to marry the person?

What is the effect if you don't do risk management planning at a startup company?

If you were the God, which animal you'd never create and why?
The human being. I think our planet would be much healthier and all other animals much better off without us.
(Presuming there is a god or several of them and that something was created...)

I love them but they're a bit weird compared to teh rest of the animals.

An achievement / success must still be measured / compared with others, it may sound uncomfortable and strange, but think if your goal of success is wealthy for example having 100 billion in money (just an example) but everyone around you can earn 10 trillion in income, still you are proud of that achievement? Can it be called success.
3. We are Assessed from What We Do, Not What We Think
Society Assess someone from what they can do for others. We are all judged by what we do, but we judge ourselves based on our thoughts. We judge ourselves that "I am a good person", "," I am better ... ", but the world does not judge us like that, and our judgment about ourselves is not important.
4. The concept of justice is our own mind
we all have the right and wrong thoughts and hope the world is in line with our minds.
Sometimes we feel other people are stupid, unfair, unintelligent, and evil because they don't think with us.
We demand that they have to think with us. Why? Because we are entities of truth that need not be questioned again. questioned again.
Sometimes it is true that there are people / figures who are wrong because they are not as thoughtful as us, it does not mean they are completely wrong / evil, but some people just try to live life as best as possible with the situation / position that is different from our situation.
Why Is Life Unfair?
Justice is just one of the ideals of human thought, let us think a little and turn the question back into:
What if life is fair for everyone ...?
Isn't life a bushel if life is "Fair / Fair" according to our idealism, all good people must be successful, everyone who is in high school must be successful, those who work hard must be successful.
I do not believe that life favours some people and decided to be unfair to some certain people,i strongly
believe that every one on earth have faced or will face challenges in life and the ability to overcome the
challenges is what makes one to become successful in life,the irony of it is that those you think that life favoured
them also have their own stories to tell and it when you hear their own story that you will realize that life itself
has dealt with most people but the ability to stay focused and determination is what will determine your
fate in regards to whether life will favour you or otherwise....
always remember that “life is a teacher,the more we live the more we learn”...enjoy your day....
There was this word in life called "LUCK"
It is true that being born in a rich family was considered lucky and being born in a poor family wasn't considered.
But come to think of it, life doesn't always depend on the LUCK. We still need to make our effort to became what we want.
For me, we are all equal. We all have the chance to became rich, despite on how hard we can obtain this goal - still we are allowed to became rich.
It isn't impossible for a poor kid became rich someday, investing of his efforts and hardwork are the things that only differs.
I do have this kind of thinking in life
"There were the chance rule in life, we have these
Those were just 3 examples of the chance rule, if I would elaborate more we would end up having 100 items in the list (assuming that there were no decimal percentage)
Too many choices that would make your mind explode, so I came up on my rule
"One way or another rule / 50:50 Rule"
I do believe that we only have 2 choices in life, either choose life or death, either choose left or right, win or lose, up or down, either becoming rich or becoming poor
This concludes that 2 choices only exist, 50:50 chance, let's don't waste our time solving some mathematical equations to compute the percentage of success to our every actions. Thus let us use that time to come up on an idea that will help us succeed.
That's just the way life is, you can't blame it on anyone or anything, because many times we don't realize what we do to earn what we do, sometimes it's deserved and other times it's not but it just happens, I'll tell you my story, life hit me very hard when I had my first child, it turned out to be autistic, and this just happened, for no apparent reason, it's something that happens, and it cost me a lot to understand that, because I always wondered why, I understood that it only happens, and all this is art of life, the issue here is the attitude with which you face life, always willing to fight, as a soldier in war, and I assure you that you'll be better off, it's a matter of attitude.
Yes, I accept that life is unfair...
But why can't it ever be unfair in my favour?!😾

Has anyone tried out for American Ninja Warrior? What was your experience like?
I've been on Australian Ninja Warrior, and it was literally the most fun thing I've ever done. The training is absolutely huge, and honestly, takes about a year, but it really is incredible. The crowd is hugely supportive and the obstacles are really fun. I got up to the semi-finals.... and then went out on a silly balance obstacle. I've been working on balance ever since. I'd love to be able to get back onto the show.
How can people be motivated to be ecologically conscious?
I wrote a post on that 2 months ago here on steemit.
Ecology is simply how we relate with ourselves in relation to the environment.
People should know that for every actions they take, there is an impact on the environment and the impact is either positive or negative. All our daily activities have an impact on the environment.
The environment provides us with food, water, a place to erect our buildings, economic growth and so on. Therefore, we should respect it.
Imagine you are in a place with no food, water, a place to rest, good air. How do you think you can survive. Humans have no regard to the environment/ecosystem due to their pursuit of economic advancement, personal advancement which should not be so.
A comprehensive Environmental impact assessment is a good tool to solve this issue and make people more conscious of why they do that may harm the environment.
This is the link to the post I made https://steemit.com/science/@zoneboy/environmental-impact-assessment-as-a-tool-for-building-the-ideal-environment-8b8c496482272?sort=author_reputation
One good way to motivate others to be ecologically conscious is to introduce them to ecologically sustainable products and solutions that they can use without altering their behavior.
For example, instead of explaining the reasons why they should stop using plastic straws and utensils, why not gift them with a metal straw that they can carry anywhere, so they can use it instead of plastic straws. Or, instead of trying to convince them to save electricity, why not show them more energy-efficient alternatives to their current devices and appliance, and show the potential cost-savings involved.
By reducing the friction involved on their part or not making it seem like a big deal, perhaps you can nudge their way into ecological consciousness.
people know that by destroying ecology it certainly has a threat to human life. But until now even humans are not aware of the dangers that must be borne, instead humans continue to destroy it in pursuit of economic value. By looking at ecological problems and their impact on humans, in this paper I want to explore concepts and the phenomenon of ecological damage and the attitude that needs to be built in the face of a dilemma between the threat of the soul and mutual welfare.
Relationships Dependence between humans and the environment is a fundamental entity that cannot be underestimated. Human existence is always faced with environmental problems, between disasters and welfare. In every city in the name of development to answer the population explosion, food needs, shelter and clothing as well as a place to live ecological damage is always increasing.
We need to understand that no matter how small an act of damaging nature by a person and the same actions taken by tens of millions of city dwellers in a country can have a global impact. As a result, the island nation must suffer the loss of a part of the island because it is submerged in the sea.
If you could switch two movie characters, what switch would lead to the most inappropriate movies?
Okay. I think switching Samuel L Jackson in The hitman bodyguard with Kevin Hart in Think like a man too will give the most odd film.
Samuel L Jackson though having little humour is more of an action actor and will find it difficult to fit in Think like a man too. It's so odd that it's going to get so much negative reviews.
Now imagine Kevin Hart dodging bullets, summersaulting, firing at Dukhovich men. Kevin Hart portraying Darius is so absurd. It's the biggest unfit or should I call it misfit that I could ever think of.
