Alan Soderberg Dexter Gore English 1021 8 March 2024 Final Draft Although head transplants are scarcely used in today's medical practice, there is still ongoing research being developed about this topic, with the prime goal in mind of potentially resurrecting a human as well as restoring one's ability to move who are severely paralyzed as well as giving them the ability to enjoy life without restrictions. However, what most may not realize is the grim history surrounding head transplants that enabled today’s researchers to get where they are now. In chapter 9 of Mary Roach’s “Stiff”, the author dives into the advancements in the research and ethics surrounding head transplants of the past and how they improved modern health studies. Using examples

Before technology was where it is at today doctors guessed and even used risky tactics to cure people or even gain popularity for themselves. Howard was misguided and young, his parents were looking for an excuse to a failed parenting attempt on their part.

II „ Brave New Healthcare of 2084“ In the enormous fields of science fiction and other literary works, problems, that have yet to arise for our current level of technology, have often already been explored. Issues involving nearly unimaginably advanced processes and theoretical difficulties are brought into the spotlight with much ampler frequency than in everyday interactions. Usable medical data from unnoticeable gadgets worn on the person and interfaced with various devices along with personalized treatments based on the very material that determines us – seemingly taken straight out of a sci-fi novel, this of course gives rise to the question of how we must deal with all the newly created problems.
Mark Lewis Writing 39B Instructor: Scott Streitfeld Neuromancer: The Mergence of the Body and Technology “Late twentieth century machines have made thoroughly ambiguous the difference between natural and artificial, mind and body, self-developing and externally designed, and many other distinctions that use to apply to organisms and machines”(Haraway 293) The rapid progression of technological advancements has brought forth a fear of overreliance on technology. This fear is supported by the idea of the elimination of the human body, what many consider is essential for defining one’s self. Those who challenge the mergence of technology and nature believe that the human body’s purpose is to serve as a vessel for a sentience controlling it, however, by this notion, one can argue that any type of body, whether it be human, cyborg, or whole machine, can serve the same purpose and thus brings about the gray area of what makes a human human.

Introduction A 5-year old boy, whose parents are undergoing a divorce, reports that he was sexually molested by his father. His mother takes him to a psychologist who evaluates him using various techniques, including a clinical interview, Anatomically Correct Dolls, and a test she has created called “Detection of Childhood Abuse Test” (DCAT). The psychologist is called to testify in court about her findings. (1) What are the issues related to the validity of using Anatomically Correct Dolls for this purpose?
For example, Purdue created a scientifically based animation of the plane crashes to develop an idea of how to build more secure building structures in the future. Beginning with a Google Earth map visual of lower Manhattan as it appeared on Sept. 11, 2001, the video portrays “the damage caused by the plane as it hit the north tower, follows the disintegrating plane through the interior, and then shows the airplane metal, ignited fuel, dust and smoke exiting the building on the opposite side.” Shortly after impact, the simulation found that the airplane's metal skin peeled away, and it even shows how the jet engine shafts flew through the building like

Many of these tools are coming in the form of robots or machines with robotic parts. The exact prototype of Baymax has not been replicated, but there are multiple types of robots with different abilities that have been integrated into some healthcare settings. Communication is a key component in the progression of healthcare. Technology has taken communication to new levels by introducing aspects of virtual reality to healthcare.
It can be traced back to the 1920's. The world's first flight simulator called the "Blue box" or "Link trainer" was developed by Edwin Albert Link in the 1920's. It was designed to work as a simulator training device for pilots. Morton Heilig who can be called as the father of virtual reality developed the first virtual reality machine "Sensorama" in 1957 and patented it in 1962. It was like an enclosed booth which displayed 3D stereoscopic images.
