Bio Technology

1) What kind of technology is being discussed?
- They introduce the Artificial Hand and discussed about the use of it. There are many dangers and benefits while using it. Basically, this is an alternative robot hand for people with paralyze hand and they cannot use it anymore, Artificial hand will be a possibility.
2) What are the benefits of this technology?
+ It can twist 360 degrees.
+ Connect to human brain so it is very easy to use, just like a normal hand.
3) What are the dangers?
+ It cannot hold too heavy things.
+ It is not as flexible.
+ Since it is robotic, it may get some problem and suddenly doesn't work anymore.
4) Are there any ethical problems with this technology?
-  If Artificial Hand gets more advance, this is a great danger for people because when it gets to the point that it is better then human hand, everyone will want an operation to have the artificial hand instead of their natural hand. And then the world will be full of people having some kind of artificial technology inside their body.
