The impact of Science

Science isn’t about ‘what’s best’. It is about discovering how the universe and everything in it works. Science has produced discoveries that have been misused, but what is the alternative? Readers should consider that if it wasn’t for science, 99% of them wouldn’t be here, life expectancy would be very short, and that short life would be spent living in a cave struggling to get enough to eat and facing a considerable chance of painful death with every second. When there are reports of how ’science’ is doing this or that, one needn’t look far for profit or political motives. Science is science and as such, neither good nor bad. Is water a bad thing because floods and shipwrecks kill or is electricity bad because shocks can kill? Science is neutral: what we do with it is a moral issue.
