Practice blog about myself

My name is Yifan, and the course I take is Business Management. There are two main reason for my choice of this module. First, limb prosthetic interests me the most from all the biology aspects of the module. Mainly deriving from the fictional works of all types I was exposed to. Moreover, thinking of the benefits of a limb prosthetic that is able to mimic the full functions of a real limb is beyond my imagination. The type of pain of a person’s daily life brought by accidents or genetic issues is imaginable. So if a seamless technology become available to offer to those in need, it would bring the world a ton more joy. Secondly, the ethical theory application to the module interested me as well. This is mainly because of the ethics module undertaken last semester. It would be interesting to make that connection and see how different theories debate with each other when applied to different situations. For example, if I am correct about the main content of the ethical part of this module, which is about consent, this can be applied to many ethical theories such as Kantian’s and JS Mill’s. Also, it would be interesting to see how some of the practices can be justified or condemned based on deontology and utilitarianism views.
