Do u think the modern medical technology will stop the evolution of species(including us)?

Question

U can see that the evolution happened when the species mutated.. Then comes the new species. That's how humans mutated from monkeys thousands of centuries ago.
But now the modern medical tech is healing all the deseases and mutations, i believe it will stop the evalution!
Don't u think it is bad and againt the nature rules?

Answer 1

Definitely, there are 3 things needed for evolution, none of them exist in our environment. The first is survival of the fittest (eliminated by medicine keeping everyone alive), the second is isolation (which we obviously lack), and the third is an environment that is not perfectly suited to the inhabitants, or changing environment (this is also where science comes in, preventing disease, treating mutations, and providing climate control).

Answer 2

In my view, evolution is one of the constants of nature. Technology cannot be a stop point for this process. Consider this situation:
If there is going to be a global warming that raises the Earth's temperature by 5degree Celsius, because of our "advanced tech." we'll switch over to a lifestyle with A.C. Alternatively, some drugs would be invented that can lower and maintain body temp. at 37degree Celsius. BUT FOR SOME REASON OR THE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO COME OUT OF THIS INCUBATOR TYPE LIFESTYLE ....AND STOP BEHAVING AS LAB ANIMALS.

Now, due to various reasons there will be a decline in population. SOME MUTATION WILL OCCUR THAT 'LL PRODUCE HUMANS CAPABLE OF SURVIVING THE HIGHER TEMPERATURE. SO, IN SPITE OF ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY, ONE CAN'T GO AGAINST NATURE EXPECTING TO SUCCEED.

Answer 3

I think man will evolve faster due to the help it can get from modern medicine In time the government will build an army that have been genetically modified and so on . Frankenstein is just around the corner

Answer 4

I have never seen a newborn monkey coming out from a human. Now I wonder.............
