TITLE: Technology and Human Lifespan. 

 

What do you think is it all about?

   

      - NO IDEA OF WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT.

 

Quote

 

     -  Let’s not let a machine tell us — or the people we trust to help us when we’re ailing — when to quench that spark that animates us — that decision should remain irrevocably ours.

 

 

Reflection:

 

        Science and technology has its tremendous advancement during 21st century. Its good to see how much we improve over the years. about this discussion the AI predicting a human life expectancy is something new to me i am amazed at the same time i am curious on how did they do it, i do believe this is only the brainy people can do it just by looking at it has something to do with complicated algorithm. So the question is the AI helpful to the people? Well i think it has its pros and cons, I feel like it was designed to help the doctor's job by giving assistant on presenting the information like percentage, chances, other statistics for them to make have a better decision making. Obviously if patient will be knowing the chances of cure or living is low then it could turn out bad because it put pressure on them and what worse is making them give up where there are still chances to fight. So like in the discussion this might give incredible on-point calculation but it cannot calculate the depth of the human spirit and the indomitable will to live.
