I want to give you a topic that you may have never thought much about it so that you can apply your critical thinking skills in an interesting thought experiment related to science, technology, religion, and humanity.


1 - One of the most fascinating aspects of biotechnology is the potential to recreate creatures from earth's past. Scientists are currently learning to read human and ape genetic histories and one day, perhaps 200 years from now, itmighteventually be possible to reconstructthe genome of an early human ancestor and insert it into a human egg that is then implanted in a human female who then gives birth to a primitive human in our modern world.
A living, breathing primitive human ancestor in modern society would forever change our human-centered view of morals. What rights would he/she have? How would this affect the rights of primates (which are currently locked up in labs and zoos)? It may be 100 ormore years away but it will most likely be done if the technology advances to that point.


READ the article links below to learn more about this topic.For the discussion explain your thoughts and position on this issue and the ethical worries it raises.How woulda newLucy(READ first)affectthe world? What would her existence say about the way we currently define a human being? What if she reproduced? How "human" would she be considered to be?
What type of life would she have? Would she spend her time in a zoo?
What rights should she have?(150 words required)

Reconstruct of Homo sapiens from the ancient era such as Neanderthals will be a great challenge
to human life form that has evolved till now. New Lucy that may be created by the scientist will differ in various ways relating to the modern world. They would be more like apes or chimps rather than us who are considered to be civilized. Her existence would contrast the way we define Humans now, as they are more primitive and had less known facts like us. It will be possible to create the body but the thought process itself will pose a great challenge. If she reproduced it will never be like current human beings, we have evolved to great extent and the...
