RE: [W107-E1] Science, don't go overboard
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The creation and refinement of weapons and technology to destroy seems to me to be an area where science has gone too far.
Same thing. Blame technology, not science. The two are related, but they are not the same. Engineers and scientists are not the same, although they may sometimes play the role of the other.

Hi. Thank you for expressing your opinion. I still stand by what I wrote. Although I share that "science" and "technology" are not the same, the definition of "science" is still present in the creation of weaponry. Or is it that, for example, bacteriological weapons is the creation of engineers only? White coats were also present there.
In short, without wanting to point fingers, the results and conclusions (which even today some are partial, such as those of DNA and the universe, because they do not yet know everything) should be used in favor of man, not to his detriment. Greetings @eniolw
Yes, engineers. When it comes to invention and application, it is the engineer's job. Studying and researching itself is not evil, it's rather neutral; it's the application that has the potential for malevolence.
I'd say that if you want to look into ethical problems within science, it could be something related to the methodology. Like experimenting with animals or experimenting with humans in a harmful way and without consent. That has been seen throughout history, like the dogs subjected to dual-head transplantation or the chimp that got his head removed and transplanted to another body or the individuals who served as test subjects in syphilis research and so on.
