Journal 2

Biomedical engineering combines expertise in engineering with expertise in medicine and human biology to develop technologies and techniques for healthcare and patient care. Biomedical engineers have responsibility to adhere to general ethical standards in research and development of technology, such as beneficence, nonmaleficence, patient autonomy and so on; they also have responsibility to do R&D that adheres to the specific standards set forth by medical ethics and bioethics.
I think if biomedical engineers enable to enhance the human body, why not. First of all, if the development of one technology will not play the positive effect for human being, it will not have meaningful and worth itself. Meanwhile, if the biomedical engineering is just staying at theory level, don’t using in practice, this method will disappear in the future. Secondly, the life is difficulty and inconvenient for disability. When we using biomedical engineering make them look like normal people, they will live more confidence and more happiness. The qualities of their lives will also be improved. As if many successful disabilities, if they are the healthy person, how wonderful achievement they will get.

For the biomedical engineering, I think it is not the problem of biomedical engineering itself; it’s just because of human being. They don’t proper use this technology. If people just hold pure mind to help disabilities with this new technology- biomedical engineering, this will be a good way, and it will play an increasingly positive role in the life.

  1. Unfortunately, no matter how perfect science is in theory, it is always human folly (and imperfectness) that we need to be wary of. Thank you for sharing, Zoe.
