In the near future, the world will see an unbelievable change in the medical field, even more than it already has. Technology has made work faster and more efficient. Technology has also improved many people's lives and will continue to keep getting better. With the ever-evolving technology, the disputable subjects may change, and it is the physician's job to prove the worth of the matter and what is ethical or not. Extraordinary people are finding new cures and better ways to test for diseases. These are just a few ways that the medical field is already changing and will keep changing. I see a wonderful future in medicine.
Many technological discoveries have already changed the way the physicians do their jobs. Everything is recorded

This area involves so many ethical decisions; it is not so black and white like many other areas of the medical field. One invention that is not so controversial is the 3D printer that is being used to make organs. Ed Damiano, Ph.D. and his team developed a “bionic” pancreas that improves the lives of people with Type 1 diabetes (Damiano). It continuously monitors and regulates blood glucose levels. This is very important because it is the highs and the lows of the blood sugar levels that cause medical complications such as blindness, organ failure or disease, lack of circulation causing the need for amputations and many other problems. This area has many benefits, but can quickly become a slippery slope that can cause ethical problems and who gets to draw the …show more content…
Some are finding tests to find out if patients have certain diseases. Others are finding cures for the diseases that were once viewed as “incurable”. People are constantly finding new approaches that are improving the medical field. One way that this happens is when patients and recipients continue to provide researchers and developers with information so that they can continue to further improve the medical technology and devices. Larry Hester is one of those patients that is willing to help, he was blind for 33 years and is now able to see light signals with the help of his bionic eye (Hester). He wants to aid the researchers in any way possible so that other people don’t have to suffer from the same complications that he did. It is amazing how one ordinary person can make extraordinary changes in the lives of others.
A few reasons that I fit into the medical field are that I have a desire to help people, I am compassionate, a hard worker and I am not afraid of a challenge. I have always wanted to be a doctor since before I can even remember. I want to be an Emergency Room physician. I feel that I can handle stress well and am able to make good decisions quickly. I strive to always find ways to improve and challenge myself. I am able to excel in everything that I put my mind to. I am interested in finding new ways to improve the lives of others
The career path that I want to pursue is in the medical field. I major in psychology and minor in biology because going to medical school has always been my desire. Being a pediatrician is my goal I wish to conquer. I am beyond interested and passionate about this career. It is not just a career, it is my life dreams. I want to be able to enjoy going to work every day knowing I love my job and I am here because I want to. Being a pediatrician I am able to work with children and many people of different cultures. I am thrilled to know that I will be capable of caring for sick children.
We have entered the 21st century and our knowledge of science, technology and medicine has increased at an outstanding rate. We have mechanical devices that allow an injured person to perform daily activities on their own. We have imaging devices that allow us to see what’s going on below surface level and diagnose diseases we would otherwise be oblivious to. We have the ability to replace dysfunctioning organs. These are not the only developments we have made and these in addition to the other medical technologies we have leave us in a position of difficult ethical decisions. A few of the major advances in biomedical technology and the ethical implications that come along with them will be addressed. The four topics that will be addressed are the scope of control in brain implants, growing organs from stem cells, embryo selection of in vitro fertilization, and the allocation of medical resources.
When I am older I would love to be a Nurse Practitioner, I enjoy helping people when they are sick and taking care of them. Another reason I want to be a Nurse Practitioner is because my sister is also a Nurse Practitioner.
Typically, in this line of work, biomedical engineers work collaboratively, and tend to work together with physicians, nurses, and technicians in order to determine new and creative ways to find solutions to problems that are complicated and have never been thought of to solve. In addition, biomedical engineers offer, physicians and other professionals, state of the art medical equipment to receive an insight of biological processes that occur in the human body, which benefit physicians choose the best possible treatment for their patients. Although biomedical engineering benefits the medical industry and has its supporters, there are those who contemplate the ethical implications of some of their research. All in all, biomedical engineering is the driving force to providing a better and more effectual health care to society by using new and innovating
...forming bench research at Barry University and Weill Cornell Medical College in the Traveler’s Research Fellowship, I have been exposed to the side of medicine where scientists work every day to find cures for diseases and save lives. Experiencing different aspects of medicine has made me a more competent individual to thrive in this field and has deepened my interest and passion to pursue medicine as a career.I believe that those who fight with so little against so much truly need others to help them in their struggle. Being a physician is not only becoming a successful professional. I will work hard to bring about necessary changes to end social disparities, so that more groups in society receive the best healthcare. By making a difference in their lives, I will receive rewarding experiences that are worth all the hard work and sacrifice my chosen career requires.
The fact that there have been many advancements in biomedical technology over the years have given us the ability to cure and prevent diseases that have once devastated the human population. These breakthroughs have allowed people to live longer and healthier lives, yet others believe that it runs the risk of “playing God” and that such matters should be left into the hands of a higher power. Today, this ethical debate still continues to raise questions on whether these scientific breakthroughs are morally acceptable. While I support the use of scientific breakthroughs, I believe that it should only be used for human benefit to cure those who are suffering from cancer. This approach seems more reasonable than using this technology to choose one’s eye color or keep someone on life support just because it is something that can be done, whether or not that is acceptable or not.
Growing up parents always ask their young kids what they want to be when they grow up; typically, from preschoolers you hear a variety of answers like “a superhero”, or “an astronaut”, and when one asks preteens you hear lots of “I want to be a doctor”. When I was asked this question in middle school I always answered “I want to be a nurse”. Throughout high school you are required to take a variety of classes in different subjects to widen your horizon on what interests you. From my experiences in these variety of class I learned a lot about myself and what I really liked, but one thing never changed and that was my dream profession of becoming a nurse. I credit my aunt, Shelly, who was a nursing professor at Medcenter One College of Nursing in Bismarck, ND for sparking my interest
I want to be a nurse, specifically a nurse practitioner. I have always been fascinated with the medical field and see a bright future in it for me. I have the opportunity of meeting new people every day with a variety of personalities. There is always something new to discover in this field. A nurse practitioner's job is to be able to diagnose and treat illnesses. They also prescribe medicine and run physical exams. I am highly interested in pursuing the career of a nurse practitioner because the healthcare field is always in need for medical professionals, it pays well, and I am helping people at the same time.
Growing up I had always been asked the infamous question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?", and my answer had always been a shrug or a simple "I don 't know yet". If I was asked the same question now, I could confidently and very passionately say, "I want to be a doctor; a humanitarian who brings positive change in someone 's life.". It seems like a very general statement but I truly hope to one day become somebody who can use her expertise and profession to help others.
“Employment of physicians and surgeons is projected to grow 18 percent from 2012 to 2022” ("Anesthesiologists"). This is a very good thing for upcoming physicians and surgeons because the there will be a large demand in the future do too the rapid increase in the world 's population. As well as the aging of the current generation, as this generation gets older the amount of physicians needed will jump because most of them will require medical assistance once old age starts to overtake them, and they become feeble.
In the future, I wish to obtain an occupation in the medical field. I would like to start out by working for a Biology major and working in a premedical field in college where I can use my interest in medicine and my curiosity for knowledge to gain insight that would be needed to become a helpful doctor in the medical field. As I move along in my career, I would like to work my way through the pathway so that I can expand my skills in healing others, such as diagnostic abilities, effectively giving treatment and so on. I want to learn as much as possible so I can fulfill my ultimate dream of helping others that need answers to their medical problems and so that more people can live happily and healthily in the world. I hope to bring happiness to others and allowing people to live comfortably.
... new ways to treat other diseases like the cancer genes that soon could very well be stopped before they even start. The changes it could bring are amazing there is really no reason to stop learning more about helping to heal the human body.
In the future, I hope to pursue my career dream of becoming a pediatrician. Pediatricians can be identified individuals who specialize in giving medical care to children and adolescents between infancy to adulthood at eighteen years of age. I became inspired to become a pediatrician due to my immense love of children. Perhaps I have an innate intuition for taking care of people being that I have always felt that I excel at taking care of others. The idea of taking care of others truly makes me feel that I serve a purpose, not only to better the life of myself but the life of others. Therefore, I believe that becoming a pediatrician will help me combine the best of both worlds into a career that I adore and cherish.
Bioethics is a reflection of controversial moral choices or decisions pertaining to medical and healthcare fields. There have always been ethical standards in healthcare handed down within each profession. Although ethical decisions of the past were followed without question, bioethics today is constantly debated among those in the medical field, the general public, and those in governmental positions. Technological advances within the last century have opened the door to discussion about the ethics surrounding the last medical and technological advances. The decisions are influenced by culture, religion, philosophy, and personal preference. Bioethical decisions are always open for questioning. It is even possible for issues to be ethical during one decade and upon review, deemed unethical several years later. It is the job of the medical community and the public to question these issues, debate them, and accept or reject them. Although there have been hundreds of people who have influenced bioethics through their technological advances, Sir Robert Edwards’ invitro- fertilization techniques have changed the way many women today can become a mother.
First, I’ll attempt to explain which methods and procedures will be the future of modern medicine. The procedures that will be the future of modern medicine currently fall into the realms of taboo and fictional. These procedures encompass every aspect of medical science from exploration of the human body, curing of diseases, to improving a person’s quality of life. Many of these procedures are not very well known while a few have been in the spotlight. These procedures are; cloning, nano-robotics, retro-viruses, and genetic manipulation via gene-specific medications. For any serious breakthroughs in modern medical science we must embrace these new forms of treatment instead of shying away from them.
