A brand new 3D microscope has been invented! We can now view
cells and things like embryos in 3D! This is absolutely outstanding! Even
though we don’t know for sure what practical uses this thing will be used for,
I’m 100% sure without a doubt it will have a huge impact on research and the
development of our species.
This is such a huge step. Humans could use this microscope
to analyze how disease cells replicate, and figure out how to combat them. We
could study human embryos while developing if there was suspicion of
deformities, and figure out how to remedy that. What I feel to be the most
important though, is the ability to study stem cells more. If we were able to
study how stem cells replicated and decided what they were going to be, maybe
we could find a way to reverse the process and turn, for example, a hair cell
back into a stem cell. Then we could use this to grow replacement organs, or
fix damaged ones.
This is going to be completely revolutionary once it gets
going. I’m sure that this device is extraordinarily expensive, but once we can
use this for practical things, we can advance the human race by leaps and
bounds. While I do believe this is a huge step, we also have to be careful.
There could be things that we can’t handle as a species yet, and that may be
hidden within this new ability. I believe we need to solve our current debates
and issues, work on preventing any further problems, and then start research
and advancements using this. For now, we should just use it for more pressing
things, things that could help us right now. Stem cells, vaccination progression,
things of that nature should be top priority.
