Medical AdvancesIn addition to the information revolution, medical advances have caused tensions between faith and reason. The medical advances of the 20th century have many beneficial effects for humanity. Diseases that were once dangerous or life-threatening, such as mumps, measles, and whooping cough, are no longer a concern in today's medical world. Tetanus, typhoid and bubonic plaque can now be treated with antibiotics or other medicines. Vaccines, particularly polio, have freed many people from the effects of disease. Advances in heart surgery and organ transplants have saved many lives. Anesthetics and painkillers were produced to reduce or eliminate pain during surgery or a painful illness. Progress has also been made in the fields of cancer and AIDS, although many details of these diseases remain to be known. Another area of ​​medical advancement is genetic engineering. Genetic engineering will detect and perhaps stop diseases before birth. Many diseases are associated with specific genes that can be screened for disease and replaced if dysfunctional. Genetic testing has already revealed genetic mutations that cause hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, colon cancer, polycystic kidney disease, Alzheimer's disease and others. (5) Replacing missing, altered, inactive, or dysfunctional genes will prevent disease or even death. Furthermore, it is possible to monitor the progression of a disease and take proactive measures against disease recurrence and relapse. Molecular medicine in genetics will also improve the design and testing of new drugs. Cloning is another new medical advancement that opens up many great possibilities. Exact matching of organs for transplants could be achieved through cloning. Animal... middle of paper... and" people's specific traits could lead to the "creation" of a specific person, also known as cloning. Although the ability to create people could mean that Mother Teresa could be recreated or cloned , this ability also means that Hitler could be recreated or cloned. The effects of this power depend on whose hands the power is in. So, who has the power to play God? Of course, only God can have the power to be God. Only He truly understands the purpose of people on earth since He put them there. The United States supports the ethics of medical procedures. Humans have worked hard to find medical techniques to save life and now all this progress is being reversed, especially through abortions and euthanasia..
