The Fly: Reaction Paper

   The movie clearly embodies the things that science can do: one is invent and contribute things to the world and the negative one is bring harm to the ones involved in the experiment. It is a science fiction film although it can be a true story itself when essential things are forgotten by a scientist.

   The Fly depicts a great contribution to science and technology (if it became a success) which is teleportation. The movie shows the struggles of the scientist, his experiments, as he creates the teleportation device. Also seen are the moments with his family although he spends more time in his laboratory. For society, this movie isn’t helpful because there are noticeable harm inflicted to animate objects. First is the disappearance of the cat. Second is what happened to the scientist. He accidentally exchanged his head and hand with that of the fly that entered the teleportation device when he experimented once. This made him even more distant to his family. This saddens his son and even so, his wife.

   Experiments really have uncertainties. But as taught, one has to consider the scientific value of a being that will be involved in an experiment. One must think of ethics. One must be careful and sure that there will be no unnecessary harm posted on the subjects because as living creatures, there are also people, families, and even animals behind each of us. They will not want something bad to happen to us, and we will not want to leave them in an unpleasant predicament just like what happened to the family of the scientist.
