Question 32

Primarily, it may seem ridiculous that kinds of weapons that have been around since World War I and not designed to kill could be an evolving ethical or policy dilemma - considering the recent development and production of non-lethal weapons such as lasermissiles, blinding weapons, pain rays, sonic weapons, electric weapons, heat rays, disabling malodor ants, as well as the use of gases and sprays in both the military and domestic police forces.

Question 33

Harvard University researchers created 1000 robots _capable of communicating with each other to perform simple tasks such as ordering themse v s into sh pes a d patterns. No human intervention is required in these "kilobots" beyond the nginal set of mstruct1 ns and work together to complete tasks. These tiny bots are based on insects1 group_behavior and can erform environmental cleanups or answer disasters where humans fear treading. T e con ept of dnverless cars also relies on this system, where thecars themselves would communicate with each other to obey traffic laws and transport people safely to their destination. "If a robot malfunction and causes harm, what will happen? Who would be blamedfor such an accident? What if tiny swarms of robots could be set up to spy or sabotage?"

Question 34

Research on artificial life forms is a range of synthetic biology focused on custom-building life forms to address specific purposes. Announced by Craig Venter and colleagues is the first synthetic life form in 2010 made from a present organism by introducing synth_etic_DNA Synthet!c life allows scientists to study the origins of life by building it rather than breaking It down, but this technique blurs the line between life and machines, and scientists foresee program organisms' ability. The ethical and policy issuessurrounding synthetic biology innovations renew concerns raised previously with other biological breakthroughs, including safety issues and risk factors connected with releasinglife forms in the environment.

Answer 34

Question 35

A resilient social and ecological system is what we need to build - being pushed toan extreme while maintaining their functionality either by returning to the earlier state or by operating a new state. Resilient systems endure external pressures caused by climate change, natural disasters, and economic globalization. A resilient system can stand extreme weather events or regain functionality quickly afterward is an example. It can maintain a complex web of life when one or more organism is overexploited. "To what way is it the responsibility of the federal government to assure civil infrastructure is resilient to environmental changes? When individuals act in their self- interest, there is the unique possibility that their actions fail to maintain infrastructure andprocesses that are essential for society."

Question 36

No Vulcan mind-meld, but brain-to-brain interfaces (BBi) have been achieved, allowing direct communication from one brain to another without speech. The interactions can be between humans or between humans and animals. In 2014, the University of Washington researcher performed a BBi experiment that allowed a person to command over another person about half a mile away, t e goal being the s!mple_t s of moving their hand. Using an electroencephalography (EEG) machine that detects brain activity in the sender and a transcranial magnetic stimulation coil that controls movement in the receiver. We have achieved a BBi twice - this year, scientists also transmitted words from brain-t- brain across 5,000 miles.
