Advancement in medical knowledge. Boon or Bane?




Many things like technology and medical has advanced a lot since the olden days. Nowadays, there is a lot of improvement in medical knowledge. This advancement can be a boon to some people and a bane to some. A boon means it is a blessing and a bane means misfortune.




Some people consider advancement in medical knowledge as a boon because it helps to cure illnesses ans save lives of people. In the past, there was a time where they were no cure for some illnesses which are now considered as minor illnesses. It is a boon because without the advancement in the medical knowledge, there would not be any cure for illnesses and many lives could not have been saved. Therefore, some people consider this advancement as a boon.




However, there are people who consider this advancement as a bane. The reason is there are also harmful experiments done due to the advancement. For example, cloning. Cloning is a process whereby a new person is formed identical to the person used for the cloning. Some people use the medical knowledge to do such experiments. It could sometimes cause harm to people. Therefore, some people consider it as a bane.




I feel it is a boon because there are laws to prevent mishap from happening. The medical advancement has helped to cure illness and save lives.
