==L: One obstacle that people in the medical field have always encountered is understanding diseases and providing a cure or a treatment for them. Ever since technology has become more advanced, those diseases have been studied more so that a treatment could be provided for them.== ==A: Genetic engineering has provided new treatments to many diseases, vaccines have been out for the public, which can prevent diseases such as cancers, and stem cell research has the potential to cure many diseases if more studying is put into it. These are all controversial topics though, and the government isn’t acting properly towards those issues.==

==J: There are many problems with finding cures in general. The biggest one being that it can take years if not decades for the “perfect cure or treatment” to be found, one that offers promising results. But once those results are out the government needs to take time to “spread the word” and make sure that people are aware of how beneficial those treatments and cures can be.==

==L: Disease rates have been increasing rapidly through the past two centuries. Diseases such as cancers, heart diseases, and so on, have become more commonly found in today’s society. Technology back a few decades ago was not not advanced enough to provide vaccines and cures for these diseases, but today, with enough studies and experiments, people in the medical field are able to provide treatments and cures for certain diseases such as those listed.==

==A: Genetic engineering has played a big role in this process, such as being able to provide a vaccine for HPV and cancer of the uterus. Stem cell research is also a promising study that, in the future, will be able to provide a promising treatment, if not a cure for diseases such as leukemia, Parkinson's disease, etc.==

==A: The real issue regarding these topics is government intervention. The government needs to back off in certain occasions, but in other situation it needs to help spread the word and make people aware of how beneficial these things can be in relation to our overall health. Cancer vaccines aren’t getting enough governmental support, even though the vaccines are out there, they’re not mandatory, which they should be.==

==L: Stem cell research isn’t getting enough governmental support. People only get one side of the story and they’re unaware of the benefits that stem cell research could bring, so the government needs to stem up to the plate and make people aware of what stem cell is and what it does, and what its benefits are==

==J: This plan is very beneficial to society in general. People will be forced to get cancer vaccines, which will decrease the cancer rates in the United Sates. If people become more educated on stem cell research, the 27% of people that oppose it, will have both sides of the story and understand why people in the medical field want to precede with stem cell studies and research.==

==L: The main issue with stem cell research is that adult stem cells are nowhere nearly as effective as embryonic stem cells. What is controversial about embryonic stem cell research is that embryos, which are only made of a few hundred cells, are destroyed in the process of harvesting their stem cells. Humans can avoid diseases and complications, but only to a certain extent. As people age their cells do not function as well and their immune system is constantly down, making it easy for abnormalities such as cancers to form. Treatments for those diseases aren't promising, and for the most part too risky for certain people. Stem cell research can provide less health threatening treatments, and potentially a cure for those diseases.==

==A: Many concerns about genetic engineering have risen throughout the years. Many protest that the researchers are over-paid. They believe that they gain too much personal profit from government funds. Critics also worry about where genetic engineering might lead. If we can cure genetic disorders, can we also design individuals who are taller, more intelligent, or better looking? Is that a good application of technology?==

==J: The most commonly question asked is; Does it work? Several people ask that same question about the HPV vaccine, Gardasil. Most of the people who are asking this question are the parents of the teens who are recommended to take the shot. Since the vaccine has not been used for a very long time, there is not much feedback on side effects or how cancer-proof it is. Dr. Christian Fiala, a practitioner from Vienna, Austria, "asserts that HPV is not even itself responsible for causing cervical cancer, which makes the vaccine completely useless at accomplishing the very thing for which it was marketed," (Huff). He also exclaims that there is no proof of a relationship between HPV and cervical cancer.==

==A: Our group’s call to action is to make sure the government is advertising and enforcing new treatments and vaccines, for instance, the HPV vaccine should be mandatory. People that oppose medical studies and researches, for the most part, aren’t fully aware of how beneficial it will be for our society once those studies reach the potential to develop treatments and cures.==

==J: If the government does not make people aware of those treatments and cures, the studies which lead to the discovery of them would be purposeless. People that are suffering from diseases such as cancers need more innovative treatments, and if not a cure. They deserve another chance in life. “He who conceals his disease cannot expect to be cured”==

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

What’s your view on the advancements in technology? -What are your opinions on the advances? -Are they good or bad? Do you recommend everyone getting the Cervical Cancer vaccine (Gardisal)? -At what age? -Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
