The rapid development has done a lot in the field of medicine helping more and more people every day. The advance use of technology makes research and development work easier and fast.
Technology and the medical health field go hand in hand. If you don’t believe me, take a look around the doctors’ office, or step into a hospital ER entrance sometime. Tell me how many medical health care machines you see, and how many you actually recognize.
The technological advances that have come to the medical health field in recent decades have truly been astounding. There are more ways than ever to diagnose a health problem, and you can get so many more details in a less invasive way than ever before. CAT scans, MRI’s, and other radiological machines are all so much more advanced than they used to be that if you haven’t seen one for five years, you probably wouldn’t recognize it.
New X-ray machines and other radiological equipment now put out much less radiation than they used to, and are getting a much more detailed picture of things, as well. Radiologists can now see great amounts of detail in X-rays, CAT scans, and MRI’s, ending the days where they would slice a person open for ‘exploratory surgery’ to try to determine the problem. Although that still has to happen sometimes, it is much less common than it used to be, and is normally only done with extreme cases of cancer where the cancerous cells are blocking the view of the health care supercomputers. Yes, medical science has advanced greatly through the use of highly technological methods, and continues to do so more and more every year.
The most interesting thing I’ve seen in recent years could eventually become the next major step in medical advances. This is cloning. They have successfully cloned a sheep, and I look forward to the day when I can hear people all over the place arguing over whether human cloning should be legalized for medical treatments. I believe that it should be much more interesting than the ‘medical marijuana’ argument ever was. However, I’m going to start this argument right now, if I may. With the technology of cloning available to us, it is conceivable that a person could live for an indefinite amount of time. Cloning has many very distinct medical and health related uses that should be apparent to all. It is now possible to recreate an individual’s body. If we can find a way to transfer memories, or perhaps even just do a brain transplant, that body could be a replacement for an older or injured body, and the person who was injured, decrepit, or dying would then be given a new lease on life, with a new body to keep it going. Theoretically, this could be the way in which we can all live to see hundreds, if not thousands of years of human history. It’s conceivable that we could actually live to see the end of the world personally, even if it doesn’t come for a few millennia.
