Biophysics: A Bionic person, for everyday, for military...?
Hello, Happy Solar Eclipse today! May you be in the path of totality! :) A lot of movies and tv shows I enjoy have bionically adapted people, such as in Marvel Agents of Shield and The Defenders. It's interesting because in the former, the guy is basically a war machine and he's forced to fight for his makers - the "bad guys", in the latter she's an NYPD cop, Misty Night, who gets a bionic arm after hers is lost in the line of duty, and she's one of the "good guys". There are good and bad reasons to use technology, but I don't tend to see the technology itself as inherently good or bad. I like the idea of a war veteran being able to walk again, but I don't like the idea of giving this person bionic features just so they can return to battle. On the other hand, I do really like one of our classmates' comments last week about how technology affects or even creates our desires. Technology is certainly not neutral. I've really enjoy...
