Newstory Reflection by Abe

Newstory Reflection by Abe

“Human hearts created in the lab have scientists excited”. It was a news topic of the beginning of this month, which had impressed me most. The feeling was complicated after reading this news. I feel delighted as the technology in our human world has stepped forward and being more advanced. It also makes me feel strange.

I bet most of the people will agree that every singer human is unique, and for the species as a human being, our body structure and stems are also more complex than the other species in the world, like the high complexity of our hearts and brains is still a difficulty for the scientists. However, as this news came out, it implies that there is a chance of achieve this goal, although the technology of creating a real human heart is still experimental.

I feel strange because the “real human heart” that created in the laboratory is unlike the artificial limb, it do contains real human stems and tissues, which can be say to have life. I believe that in some days of our future, that this technology will become so common and at that time which may bring the possibilities of human cloning. As our technology getting more advanced by time, the distinction between the original human and the artificial human is getting blur. The uniqueness of human no longer exists and it will lead to the philosophical question of “You are not really you .” may become the concern of virtues.
