Attempt to formulate your 'moral' views on the practice of science. Imagine yourself stumbling upon a discovery, which has great academic interest but is certain to have nothing but dangerous consequences for the human society. How, if at all, will you resolve your dilemma ?

Answer»

Solution :A scientist aims at TRUTH. A scientific discovery reveals a truth of nature. So, any discovery, good or bad for mankind, must be made public. A discovery which appears dangerous today may BECOME useful to the mankind some time later. In order to prevent misuse of scientific technology, we must build up a strong public opinion. SCIENTISTS should in FACT take up TWO roles - to discover truth and to prevent its misuse.
