Imperial China during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 CE) could conceivably have started the
Scientific Revolution before Europe; its failure to do so might have resulted (at least in part) from
each of the following factors except:
foreign trade was dominated by the Imperial Navy, with no profit motive for merchants
European sailing vessels of that time were much smaller than Chinese treasure ships
Chinese religion was polytheistic, while the central government at that time was strong
military expenditures were diverted from ship-building to land-based armed forces
Chinese colleges were independently-chartered, not under Imperial control like Europe
In 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a person's own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwang's group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?
List three (3) issues that biological research may help us solve in the near future. Discuss how that biological research may solve the said issues.
