Is science capable of enhancing human abilities to the extent of the powers of the X-Men?
Are the implications of this ethical?

ProdigiousJI would say that the implications are ethical for discovery and science alone. If someone needed some particular power to figure more about something then thats great. But i think the main concern would be if it got out of hand and "power" hungry people would chase after it with their money. In that case it's not ethical at all. It would probably just reinforce the prophecy of humans destroying the world with technology. -
ISHAN TOPRE@AKD: How about if I bless you with powers of X-men. Won't you be happy? Yes you will be. You will be superhero. I guess anyone would like that.
However, to prevent misuse of power it should not be given to evil. " With power comes great responsibilities" 👍 and it should remain with responsible person.
This is the social aspect which I can think of. 😀 -

Agreed to that!!! I don't like the part where they keep creating more and more parts for the same movie. Why not think different???ishutopre@AKD: How about if I bless you with powers of X-men. Won't you be happy? Yes you will be. You will be superhero. I guess anyone would like that.
