      Yes! I design drinking water treatment plants to make sure the water people have at home is safe. If it is not and people are not aware, it can be a health danger!

      Yes but not directly. My work is to improve the quality of 3D printed products and some applications of 3D printers will help save people’s lives.

      My answer is the same as Gowthaman. Yes, but not directly. If engineers can build safer aeroplanes and cars, then that will save people’s lives.

      It could do eventually – by working with other people to make sure that it is safe.

      It could help with diseases in the brain and others have created health diagnosis tools with the same technology.
