Ethical rules are a part of science as they are a
part of life. Scientific researches cannot be done if
a scientist doesn’t know the previous researches.
But we all have a question: Can these ethical
rules stay the same in the future?
Humanity is facing a lot of problems with the
rapid development of technology. Phenomena
such as hunger, drought, lack of water, wars are
destroying humans mentally and physically. Also,
the race between governments is damaging this
ethical system, too. In today’s world there are a
lot of things which are non-ethical for humans;
for example, genetically edited child. Topics like
this are non-ethical because they make a bigger
financial difference. But in a future full of crisis,
like extinction, we may have a different point of
view. Dilemmas like this form the ethical rules.
Governments make agreement about ethical
rules but a lot of political situations can block
these agreements.
With the rapid development in medical science
there are some technologies which could make
humans’ life longer. But if these technologies
won’t be available for every single human being,
that would destroy the entire justice system. As
we can understand from this example, people are
making these rules, not governments themselves.
Governments are talking about these ethical
rules because they want to control their people.
Also, in the future, governments have to make
more audit about ethical rules; the reason why
they have to do it is technology. Technology is
limitless but rules have boundaries.
Ethical culture is changing with the hopes and
lives of humans. I don’t know how much this
system which is trying to set rules with biased
institutions can survive. As a result, ethical rules
have to be in our lives in the future as it is now. If
we don’t follow these rules, we will be in trouble.
But if the good people keep believing in, hope,
peace and humanity will continue to exist.
