Reposting my previous comment:

What technology has brought is choice and options:

A woman can choose to decouple having sex with getting pregnant.

A person can choose to live hundreds of miles away from their family yet still visit them every weekend.

A person can choose to move to a new country, halfway around the world, and still have their parents be able to see and converse with the grandchildren every night.

I can choose to talk to a person who speaks another language and have a computer translate for us.

On a more serious note:

I can choose to have my tooth decay treated without experiencing horrific pain.

A compound fracture is not an automatic sentence of death or lifelong severe disability.
