Technology in the Medical Field.

For my topic this semester, I choose Science and Technology: the good the bad and the ugly. I figured that this would go good with my major, nursing. For this semester I am going to explore how technology has influenced the medical community, the moral and ethical issues of technology, and how it has improved the medical field.

Technology has influence the medical field in many ways. The technology these days lets humans live a longer with more quality of life. On the other hand, many have moral issues with using technology for medical purposes. Some religions don't believe in using the technology to save lives because they were meant to die at that particular time. Also, people get disturbed by the fact that we are using technology to do stem cell research and some cloning, such as dolly the sheep. Many people are thankful for the new technology because it has sped up reaction times in the emergency rooms in life and death situations. It has also become easier to monitor a patient while in care of a doctor.

Overall, technology has made a huge impact on how the nurses and doctors work together, with patients, or even alone. It can really be a big help but I am concerned about one day that everyone will be dependant on technology and not use their head. Technology isn't always going to work and could shut down. Although there are down sides, I am glad that we have high-tech machines today.
