Can the Medical Field cure our imperfections?
Our imperfections define who we are as a human. No matter how hard we try, we are all born with certain characteristics and traits that can be easily distinguishable. Some of us are born with genes that allow us to be unique. Some of us are tall, some of us all short, some of us are fat, and some of us are skinny. In my mind, I think that's perfectly fine. We as humans have the right and the choice to be our own person and do our own thing in life. Some of us are perfectly fine with who we are and where we came from, and we choose to embrace our best traits and sometimes, even our worst traits. We learn from our mistakes and things that we don't like about ourselves and we choose to adapt at our own pace to be a better form of ourselves. However, I also believe that no matter how we try, some of us will never be happy with who we really are. That's why we have things like implant and reduction surgeries, which allows us to be who we actually want to be through expensive and painful methods. These surgeries allow us to achieve the perfect body that we always desired, and allow us to easily be the person that we've always fantasized about being. Also through medical technology, we can easily repair or fix any certain disabilities that feel ashamed about or tend to hid, just like Neil Harbisson who was born with a color blindness disability which only allowed him to see in black and white. He started to wear a new piece of medical technology which allowed him to feel the colors that he couldn't see through vibrations. I found this extremely interesting because with the new innovation of medical technology, and the nonstop growth of this field, we can soon hopefully be able to find and cure any type of imperfection or disease that might naturally occur in our life.
