a third alternative?Explain your
position.
Mr. Myrick´s experimentation is a perverse abuse of human beings because if you think about it he is killing people without asking them. He makes them think they are getting better but they are actually getting worse and this kind of makes him a bad man for what he has done.
I agree with this completely.I also think that this is perverse and unreasonable. He shouldn't be killing people period though. He is for sure a bad man for everything he's done, for making them think they would even have a chance. He should be upfront and just ask if they would like to be a part of it.
I believe it is a perverse abuse of human beings. Dr. Myrick takes homeless people of the street without choice and experiments on them like lab rats. He takes spinal fluid from a healthy human being. In the end its always going to end in death for people who didnt even voulenteer to be in the position of a lab rat. He says the reason he uses them is that noone would notice they are gone, but this is still a human being who at that didnt ask to be his experiment.
Is Dr. Myrick’s experimentation a noble quest in order to help humanity or a perverse abuse of human beings? Is there a third alternative? Explain your position. I believe Dr. Myrick’s experimentation is perverse abuse of human beings. I believe this because, he called them heroes. But, they didn’t get to decide whether or not they wanted to donate their body, he chose for them. He wanted to experiment on their bodies and find ways to build nerve fibers for people who are in need. Instead, he would take homeless people and those in need and use their bodies and jeopardize their lives. I believe there is a third alternative if he went the right way of advancing medical research. At the end of the film, his research and data was handed off to Dr. Luther. If Dr. Luther goes about the right way of advancing research instead of going extreme measures then I think it is okay.
Is Dr. Myrick’s experimentation a noble quest in order to help humanity or a perverse abuse of human beings? Is there a third alternative? Explain your position. His experimentation is a perverse abuse of human beings.He is kidnapping homeless people off the street so no one would be looking for them, then he is purposely paralyzing them for medical gain. I understand that he is trying to “cure” paralyzation but there is a better way. He could have not retired or just opened his own practice that was dedicated just to this research. That way he could ask other doctors and have volunteers that maybe were paid to go through the experiments. Maybe use people that are already paralyzed to be in the study just like they do with cancer. They have new medicine that they ask patients if they want to be in this trail study to see if it will help.
In my opinion Dr. Myrick’s experimentation was a perverse abuse of human beings. He was doing it to get answers in order to help the victims of spinal diseases that immobilized them, but he did everything so terribly wrong. He was using innocent, scared, homeless people because he said they wouldn’t be missed. They had friends, and they also had lives even though they were less fortunate than others and he knew he was taking that away from them and didn't care. It was inhumane and very cruel to do what he did. I don’t believe there is a third alternative.. He may have thought it was good, but he took his experiment to the major extremes. Dr. Myrick could have advanced medical science and technology in a whole different way than he chose to go about it.
Jade Burge: It is not a noble request because it is killing many innocent people. It is not good for the world to be killing those people and also tricking them into doing it without knowing the consensus. There are many ways you can go about doing what Dr.Myrick did without killing innocent people. I think that you could take people from the prisons that are in there for life and don't have a chance to get out. You can ask from many prisons around to see who would want to volunteer for the experiment. That way you can continue with your research and have human lab rats without taking the life of someone who is free.
I agree because humans have a right to live and Dr. Myrick is taking their right away. It is a good idea to use the people who don't have a chance at a life rather than using the ones who could do something with themselves. They should of had there permission before they used them as an experiment.
I agree with you. I think giving people in prison the opportunity to do help the world. I think some people would be willing to give back and support the research. And if they survived the experiment then they might have a chance to do something with their life. But I think it would be a good opportunity for people who are in prison for life.
No, I don't think Dr. Myrick’s experimentation is a noble quest in order to help humanity. I do think that he was trying to do the right thing in helping but he definitely took the wrong way of doing it. He should have gave the people a choice instead of just doing it and using them as “lab rats” against their will. It was perverse and unreasonable that he didn’t give them a choice. I don’t think there is a third alternative, I just think he wanted to do the right thing but just didn’t do the right way of doing it. Maybe he could have accomplished way more doing it the right way rather than taking extreme measures the wrong way.
I agree with your ideas on Dr. Myrick conducting his research through the wrong means, but in search for a just cause. He was not evil just desperate to find a solution anyway he could with the limited time he had left. The movie shows how our pursuit of something can contort us into something we are not if we become blind to our actions.
I feel that Dr. Myrick was intending on being noble, however, he had to kill a lot of people to get to that nobility. I also feel that he just wanted the popularity of this cure for these neurological problems. A cure for the spinal things like he was looking for would help so many people and he would be the man that created that. I know that I would want that title if it meant it could help thousands and thousands of people. The measures he had to take to get to that title, I wouldn’t take those steps. Dr. Myrick had to hurt the few to help the rest of people like that. I feel like he had good intentions.
I agree with what you are say because although he wanted to be noble he was also being bad for trying to gain nobility. I also like how you brought up good value points with what he had done.
I believe that Dr. Myrick’s experimentation is good, but he should not of used humans as the test. He should of went through the experiment the right way. He said in the movie that he started using humans as the test quicker then he was suppose to because he didn’t want to wait years. If he would of went the proper way then maybe less people would of died. He used homeless people like they didn’t mean anything to the world when they did. There deaths affected people like any others would have. There are other ways to do the experiment without killing people.
This is true because the experiment is good for research, but it doesn't need to be tested on humans causing them to die. Humans have a purpose in the world.
I think Dr. Myrick’s experimentation a noble quest is to help humanity and not to abuse human beings becasue, what he was he was trying to do a good thing by performing procedures on human being spines to see if the injured/ paralyzed would ever walk again but he went about it the wrong way, instead he should’ve asked people to volunteer to get the procedure done on them but instead him and his team decided to start taking people off the streets because they thought no one would miss them and this somewhat plays a part in abuse of human beings because he wasn’t thinking about the life that was at stake.
I think Dr. Myrick’s experimentation was a noble quest in order to help humanity because he helped those homeless people learn to walk. It was good because he helped them learn to walk again because without him giving the people the prescriptions they would still not be walking. It was a win situation for them. I also think it was a perverse abuse of human beings because it was done against their will. He could’ve asked for their permission instead of just putting medicine in them without consent. People could’ve died, some people could’ve been allergic to that prescription.
I think Dr. Myrick’s experiment was a perverse abuse of human beings, because, although he was trying to do a good thing, he was taking people against their will and making them be the guinea pigs at their expense, and that was wrong. I think a reasonable third alternative would have been to maybe make public what he was trying to do, and then put up the option that any well human-being would wanted to help promote and support could agree to do the experiment. He also needed to have some kind of benefit in there for whoever agreed to it, in case it did work, and they did make it out alive. And if they didn’t, some type of royalty should have gone to the family or something. There needed to be some type of agreement. But because of the way he went about doing the whole thing I believe it made the whole thing wrong and abusive.
I feel that Dr. Myrick’s experimentation is a way to help people, but it was done in a wrong way. He felt that homeless people weren’t going to be missed so he took them without their consent and practiced on them. In the beginning of the movie, you could see how they did the same thing with rats and he took interest in it. I don’t think it could be a third alternative because messing with people’s spine is very extreme. Then again you should always be open minded so maybe if the experiment was done in a better way. I also think it could go right with a lot of scientist and people who would agree to be practiced on. Dr. Myrick’s wife even agreed that he was doing the right thing but in the wrong way. If it was given to the right person then maybe this could be life changing in a good way.
Dr. Myrick conducted his experiments to fix paralyzation in a way few can stomach. He did the right thing, but in the wrong manor. Dr. Myrick rushed to find a solution with his life slowly ticking away. This led him to drastic measures in search for a cure. Myrick did take perverse actions, however, it was all for a just cause. Malyk knew the risks yet he experimented anyway he wasn’t looking for fame or fortune just a solution the fastest way he knew how. It may sound obtuse, but if his work had successfully provided millions with the ability to walk again. Very few of the people receiving treatment would have sympathized with the homeless experimented on for their sake. Despite the absurdity of the experiment, for a cause that just the ends may very well justify the means. Myrick would have suffered the repercussions anyways, but he knew that and he failed to care. His experiments may have been twisted, but people die every day. The world would have quickly forgotten what he did if it succeeded.
I think that it's somewhere in the middle for both the help of humanity and the perverse abuse of people. I say that because not only did help people be able to walk again he also was the reason why they couldn't walk when he experimented on them. Like the good side of this whole ordeal was that people who were unable to walk for whatever reason may now be able to walk,feed himself, or whatever they could do before being paralyzed and help them be part of society again like before. But then the bad part to the whole thing is that he killed/tested on people without their consent. Then not only did he test on people without them knowing he literally took out pieces of their spine just do tests on them like they are wild animals or something. And I don't think that there is a third alternative because its a trade off but not in a good way.
I totally agree Tyquan!!! I think it was a good idea to help people but done in the wrong way. He took people off the streets that he thought people wouldn't missed and experimented on them which was so wrong. Those people he experimented on he could've changed their life forever when he was done experimenting. If this was given to the right hands then maybe it could change people's lives for the better.

ReplyDeleteI like how you mentioned they these people didn't even ask to be in his experiments and they ended up dead.
