What good has come from the advances in science?
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 | Science
What good has come from the advances in science? Why is science so dangerous? Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications? Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances? What is worth sacrificing in the advances of science? What possible outcomes can come from science in the future?

You’re typing this on a computer, aren’t you?
You haven’t died of smallpox or diptheria have you?
Have you ever had an operation? Did you require anaesthesia? Antibiotics?
Are you wearing any clothes which contain synthetic fibres?
Does your home contain any electrically-powered appliances?
> “Why is science so dangerous?”
Science is simply a method of rationally investigating the universe by empirical experiment and observation. It is no more or less dangerous than any other tool humanity uses.
> “Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications?”
Of course not.
> “Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances?”
Yes - but it is important that they should.
Any actions of humans - whether scientific or anything else - should always be weighed against morality.
> “What is worth sacrificing in the advances of science?”
That depends what the particular study is setting-out to acheive, and what their odds of success are.
> “What possible outcomes can come from science in the future?”
This isn’t possible to know. But we can hope for quite a few things (new treatments for bacterial and viral infection, new crops to solve the food crisis, alternative energy sources for power-generation, etc.)
