- Who wants to live forever ? Part 1 The wish to extend the human lifespan has a long tradition in many cultures. Optimistic views of the possibility of achieving this goal through the latest developments in medicine feature increasingly in serious scientific and philosophical discussion.
It we talk about ethical issues which can’t be ignored. Some philosophers argue that research with the explicit aim of extending the human lifespan is both undesirable and unacceptable. They present three serious objections relating to justice, the community and the meaning of life.
There are a big variety in researches dealing with prolonging human lifespan. We should distinguish between research that is first and foremost aimed at prolonging life by slowing or even arresting ageing processes and research that is directed at combating the diseases that seem to be closely connected with biological ageing.
We agree that being alive is intrinsically valuable.
Let’s discuss these three arguments against extending the human lifespan.
The first one is justice. The most obvious moral problem is the already existing “unequal death”. The question is : how can we justify trying to extend the lives of those who have more already?
January 10, 201810 - What's karma? Do you believe in karma ? Cast your bread upon the waters... what goes around comes around.... you reap what you sow... goodness is our reward... Just a curiosity question, mostly. The question is : do you believe in karma? In a form of “cosmic justice “ that ensures that bad actions are revisited upon whose who commit them while good actions are rewarded?
The basic idea of karma seems to pop up a lot of points. In recent years there has been an increasing interest to the topic. Some people refer the concept of karma to religious philosophy while others strongly think that the key points of karma are human fate and individual characteristics of any person. There are a good plenty of books which are mostly centered around the concept of karma. It’s pretty hard either to join the majority of people who don’t believe in any cosmic power or to accept the fact of its existence.
Personally I don’t believe in reincarnation, although the idea is fascinating, but I believe in karma. There’s some kind of true in it, I think. I believe in the idea that if you are a positive person who is able to help others of course you will get the same in return. If you affect someone’s life in a positive way then you build a relationship and out of that can come more positivity and opportunities.
However bad things do happen to good people and good things do happen to bad people as well. But what seems initially to be “bad” or “good” might be deceptive . I do believe that over time we reap what we sow. But I also support the opinion dealing with the statement that lives we live are rewarded in any number of ways. Call it karma or call it ultimate justice.
Taken together all the points I mentioned I dare say that no one can give a right definition of karma. But thousands of great brains had been researching the topic so we get a big variety of opinions. My own view can be expressed by the proverbs I gave in introduction. What goes around comes around. Goodness is our reward...
January 10, 201800 - 我是从中国回来的。 成都市,不能找到感谢你的话! 我刚来中国的时候,就了解我到了非常漂亮的国家,非常漂亮的城市。但是我在成都谁都不知道,只有自己,先感觉怕死了, 但是我在中国的时间越来越长我明白了我好像会想中国。 实在地说我一来成都就一词都听不懂,非常不方便,但然后我交了很多中国朋友,还差点儿不恋爱了哈哈哈[emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji] (当然我是开玩笑的, 我有男朋友)。所以我明白了我给我没办法,要听更多,读书也更多还要开张口试着一句子说,最近我很高兴,中国朋友对我说他们都觉得我说汉语说得好听,像中国美女一样。 先在我在喀山不得不通过五次考试,非常着急呢。September 2, 201780
- 网交友和网爱,我的看法 网上成为了最重要的信息资源。我没早上都一起床就在网页上载的新闻看,然后把朋友发来的信息回答 。但是我不能自己叫一个网瘾的人。 为了自己的目的各人使用网上;比如说为了学习学生都用网上,有的人喜欢网上购物并把东西买还卖,有的人试交友,并且找到自己的另一半。 我想先关于网友谈一下。我15岁的是后在青年的杂志把一个小女生的资料看见了:他想找到新朋友们在页下面她的地址被写。我决定把信寄给她。 我和她通信三年,去年她把我的账户找到了并把信息发给我。 我一看见就很高兴了! 我们每天都聊天儿,因为现在用网上比写信更方便也更快;写信过时了。 现在我有很多网友。他们住在不但别的城市,而且别的国家。我爱他们全都,特别喜欢我们有同样的爱好;怪不得我觉得网交友是一个非常好找到朋友的方法。但是各人应该小心: 不要自己的地址和号码给不认识的人。 对我来说,网爱是一把双刃剑,有利有弊。 比如说两个人每天都聊天,然后他们一见面就一见钟情地恋爱并结婚。我不相信这样的故事。清楚是: 有的人可以交上从网上认识的男(女)朋友,但是他们俩可能不会有这样的关系很久。 并且有时轻人终于见面的时候明白他们的话不投机,网上聊天更简单。还他们能把互相没考到的缺点找到。May 17, 201740
