Stem Cells v. Topic of Enhancement/Therapy
To Compare:
These two topics are similar in that they discuss humanity's pursuit for physical perfection through the use of biotechnology. They dive into the science behind the pursuit. By looking at these two topics, we get a glimpse of how far we, as humans, have come utilizing science. We can see what we are now able to do to our own bodies to correct and perfect the job that nature did. Not only does looking at these topics allow us to see how far we have come to this point, but it also allows us to see where we are heading. We can anticipate the future treatments that will be available.
To Contrast:
Despite the similarities between these two topics, there also exist some differences. The main difference I can see is that in the pursuit of the ideal, stem cell research has not yet reached a point where it can cross the line from therapy into enhancement. It remains simply therapy.
