Compassionate Science

I am not sure whether or not I have what it takes to be a compassionate scientist like Mike Ebeling. With the several improvements that companies have contributed to technology, it is certainly possible to change someone else's life significantly, simply through the use of things such as computers or three dimensional printers. The only things that most people lack these days are two key factors, motivation and commitment. In today's society, the media has exposed many of us to war, crimes, and violence so excessively that most of us have become apathetic to the cruelty and sadness that surrounds us. That is why many people today have no drive to make a change, let alone commit to a cause whenever they witness something unfortunate. The sad truth is that people like Mike Ebeling, who actually use science and technology to help others in need, are rare. If we would only be willing to set aside our own interests to help satisfy the interests of others, we would have more compassionate scientists.
