Do implanted technologies oppose the human's moral standards?

[color=blue]im not sure if the words i used in my question are the right words to be used. but im hoping you would all understan and get my thought on this.[/color]

we can predict that the trend of new technologies are already to be implanted into humans. There are many technologies already released and is still on development that are said to be as small as a micro chip (or called as nantechnologies) that would be implanted to our human bodies for different purposes.

We hear things about small chips inserted to our body, mostly into our brain, and would cure deseases. As far as i'm concerned human moral law follows the bible standards which includes taking care of our body and in our life. Technologies like these is said to give us a more easy living and is said to cure deseases. But looking further in this we woud see the consequences or the risk of this in to our lives.

Based on your own point of view will you patronize this kind of technologies which are still in doubt to be give help or harm into our lives?

hmmh.. nice concept anyway..

anyway., i guess it was just like the concept of blood transfer.. some religions or group doesn't allow it coz they foretell that it is a moral sin.. but in reality, it saves our life as we need it necessarily. the concept of implanting nanobots/ any device on our human body is somewhat same with this.. as i favor blood transfer concept, i guess there's nothing wrong for your idea. they must make sure first that there's no complications before applying it to our selves.^^

all technology considers the benefits to human application, i think if these technology could now be applicable, i think it is helpful. And just by thinking about chips, very micro chips seems to be astonishing. hehehe... thats what i think anyway

in this manner it differ in our perspective in life. if we love our self and we care for it we must think and choose wisely on deciding what's best for us. in terms of what reg said well, other alternatives may help and consider in order to avoid several effects.

its really hard to decide in this manner... we all love our selves and we would not want to harm our selves or put in into risk..we dont want to be sick and the primary purpose of such echnologies i think is for our own good. but sometimes there are some consequences which we taught might be good for us will result to negative.

Deciding whether to support this kind of action is difficult but as long as you firmly stand of what you believe and what do you think is right there is no reason for us to be in doubt. In this kind of situation we are playing with God, since it is already in the bible that we should love ourselves let stick with it, let's love ourselves, and i think implanting nanobots or other modifications of the human body and brain to give rebirth is not desirable. Implanting something in our body is like altering human nature. Don't be afraid to get old and die b'coz God promise an everlasting life to those who believed in him.

If it's said that these nanotechnologies are made to help cure certain diseases, then that would mean it is only concern in taking care of our health, and taking care of our health is what we should always do as what has been stated in the Bible.

Yes! In simple terms, moral means an individuals beliefs or way of life. It can also refer to the teachings of religions. Technologies that require body implant is one of the most popular issues being discussed by people nowadays. I have read Blogs that relate to this and I read many people's comments saying that it is a bad thing. They are saying that we should not let men become objects and many more. With regards to the Bible, it has been said that body implants are more like the "mark of the beast". But generally, the issue of opposing morality because of such technologies rely on that "human".

the main purpose of this technologies(nanotechnology) is to cure sickness and prevent it.

nobody wanted to be sick. health is our primary concern. the purpose of these technologies are good but we cant deny the harmful risk of this.

Sickness which can cause death is already into our bloods. we acquire these, as we all know, is because of the sin committed by the first humans (Adam and Eve). we all wanted to live forever that is why there are nw technologies that will help us cure sickness. but it cannot solve this problem. the only solution to this is what the bible has said on Revelation 21:3,4*, "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

*New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

First, there is nothing to do about stuff like God or The Holy Bible in this matter. It deals primarily of human rights or ethical issues pertaining to the effects of this implanted technologies to the human anatomy.

Nanotechnology in the field of medicine is somehow an exciting technology to be watched in the future. With huge machines to be replaced by this tiny microchip to be implanted inside or body to keep track of the condition of our body organs or to diagnose if we have diseases. For me the purpose and process is very promising like portability, speed and accuracy of results. But the very issue with this is that is human ready to become "a rat inside the laboratory"?. Of course this is technology in order for it to become perfect, it needs to be tested within the human body to predict its effectiveness and to know the possible complications of this nanotechnology. We need real human here in order for it to become perfect. Are we ready to become rat inside the laboratory? Are we ready to take the risk to perfect this technology. Another issue will be the effects of this microchip in the human body. This microchip contains toxic elements like silicon which are very harmful to the human body. Add on to that, will there be an assurance that these nanotechnology will run perfectly inside our body? We need to be very vigilant enough and monitor these technologies from time to time to avoid complications. Every second counts here. This is a matter of life and death if this technology fails. And since it is technology, there are still limitations to be considered. I don't heard any technology that is fullproof enough to handle everything.

These are the ethical issues that needs to be considered if we talked about implant technology.
