Greater technological power within society will demand greater love and compassion. Society must committ itself to greater love and compassion for frail, weak, and most vulnerable citizens to insure a healthy form of scientific progress. An Increase in Greater Technological Power
Requires An Increase in Greater Compassion
For the Most Frail, Weak, and Vulnerable Citizens
Within Society to Insure Evolution
of a Healthy Form of Scientific Progress Honor Thy Mother and Father. The Scripture mandate is clear. Ancient Scripture is a guide for compassion. Compassion for all despite race, creed, gender, or ethnic origin is absolutely necessary for evolution of a healthy form of scientific progress. Ancient Scripture is a vital guide for human compassion In the book, The Physics of Immortality: Modern Cosmology, God and the Resurrection of the Dead, Dr. Frank Tipler provides a discussion of how a pre-existing God can use science to fulfill the hope of every major religion. Dr. Frank Tipler pointed out that all major religions share common central themes. (Tipler, Frank, The Physics of Immortality: ...
... Modern Cosmology, God and the Resurrection of the Dead, Anchor Publishing Company, September 1997) Greater technological power within society will demand greater love and compassion. The goal of every religion should be to increase love and compassion in a prudent intelligent fashion that does not allow compromise of central tenets. Religious leaders should help increase love and compassion for the frail, weak, and most vulnerable members of society as scientific technological power grows to meet human needs. The exercise of greater love and compassion for frail, weak, and most vulnerable citizens may slow rapid scientific progress. Overall, greater love and compassion for frail, weak, and most vulnerable citizens should be worth the social cost because greater love and compassion will contribute to a healthy form of scientific progress. The United States Senate should not have to engage in very much debate to do the right thing in terms of passing a Medicare Prescription package plan for senior citizens. The United States senate should pass full Medicare Prescription coverage for seniors effective immediately. How can we forget our seniors who so diligently labored and toiled during times when modern day conveniences did not exist? Seniors of today diligently labored and toiled to diaper young men and women who are now leaders of today's new generation. Leaders of today would not be where they are today, if not for seniors. Of course, not all seniors are fathers and mothers. At some point in their life as a responsible active citizen, seniors who choose to remain single or simply failed to meet the right person, more than likely did some mothering and fathering by virtue of participating in church programs for youth, volunteer organizations, and/or social service careers including teaching. The book, It Takes a Village, written by Senator Hillary Rodman Clinton, provides a discussion of the need of all responsible citizens to help in parenting young people. An allocation for Medicare Prescription coverage may also help senior veterans who served to protect individual freedom so that people like me can write and publish freelance feature articles. If senior veterans are already covered by VET health insurance then additional prescription coverage provided for all seniors should expand veteran benefits. Future science may one day remove limitations imposed by impossibility. Nanotechnology is leading toward molecular electronic circuits and super strong lightweight materials. Molecular electronic circuits used in conjunction with super strong lightweight materials may one day make extrasensory telepathic communication and telekinetic control of objects common everyday normal occurrences. In the future, young people of today may not have to get up off the couch to pick up the television remote control. Given this eventuality, should we forget Senior citizens who labored and toiled without modern day conveniences? One major problematic social issue regarding an increase in health benefits for aging citizens approaching senior classification is a severe drain on federal funds as a consequence of aging citizens who may opt to radically extend their life expectancy by new nanotechnology enabled medical advances. A radical extension of the human life expectancy by new nanotechnology enabled medical advances will create an over population problem which may strain the biosphere of planet earth. Nanotechnology is a new science to prepare the human race to encounter harsh environmental conditions above in outer space. Kentucky Educational Television (http://www.ket.org/ ) aired a program about how frogs that become overpopulated in one lake make a giant leap to another lake miles away. Frogs that leap to another lake miles away sometimes have to readapt to the ecosystem found within the habitat of the new lake. If God should ordain the sun to rise tomorrow, eventually the human race will have to make the giant leap to another pond. It may be centuries before space vehicles are fast enough to allow humans to travel outside the solar system. In the future, nanotechnology may allow scientist to assemble extraterrestrial matter and thereby engineer a biosphere within the orbital of the suns gravitational field. Solar panels may be used to deflect sunlight to where it is needed on the new biosphere. Nanotechnology may allow terrestrial forming to create a habitable earth like atmosphere on the surface of the new manmade biosphere. If God ordains the sun to rise tomorrow, then God must ordain the human race to continue as rambling wonderer on an incredible journey. Middle age citizens of tomorrow who may freely choose nanotechnology enabled medical advances to radically extend the natural life expectancy may have to be required to make a leap to a new manmade biosphere at a certain prescribed age. The modern day generation pampered by efficient modern day conveniences more than likely would cry out in great dismay if today's modern generation had to use an old fashioned washboard to wash clothes in a creek bed as senior citizens commonly washed clothes. Modern day teenagers would hysterically flip out if every morning modern teenagers had to go outside to use an old fashioned outhouse. Will modern day youth who are pampered by modern day efficient time saving appliances be ill prepared to endure hardship imposed by the jump to another outer space biosphere pond?
