If not for antibiotics, the death rate of humans suffering from bacterial infections would still be very high in every age group. Furthermore, through science, companies produce genetically engineered medicines. All over the world, people use gene-spliced drugs and medications to treat Aids, cancer, heart and kidney disease, strokes and the like (Edwards 27). Additionally, science gives knowledge about this world, how it functions, and how this knowledge can be used to make life on earth easier. An example is an advancement in globalism.
