It is being discussed that the prime motive of science should be in betterment of an individual’s lives. This essay agrees with the statement as it will aid in lowering the burden of people and will improve one’s health.
Firstly, improvements in technology have made communication much easier; this should persist. For example, people used to send letters for kith and kin in distant places which would take a long period to reach them and to get a response back, but now with the advancement of technology, one can communicate with ease. In addition to this, science has also reduced the workload of individuals, starting with a basic need of sweeping the floor with a broomstick to switch a button while lying on the sofa because of the invention of robots.
Science has so far played a vital role in the health of the people because of which the morbidity and mortality rates have declined dramatically. For instance, the invention of laparoscopic surgeries has reduced the risk of infection that is associated with open surgeries and it has also reduced the scar size and hence cosmetically better. If science shows similar advancements in treating people, it is possible to prolong the lifespan of humankind.
To conclude, there are various reasons why science should advance but the prime cause should be for the betterment of human beings.
