We should be “messing” with science. Science produces lots of results that are unintended, positive consequences. How do you think we learn what’s needed for transplanting limbs, the work on nerve regeneration for spinal cord injuries, or better treatment for Alzheimers?
some of it i agree with but we are allways doing smthing and messing with things shouldnt messwith im just trying to figure out y we allways have to i meen look back in the day did they do all this no they didnt and they did just fine that way
No, they didn’t do just fine. People died from infections every day. Cancer used to be a death sentence.
The “old days” were not much different than today, because human nature is constant. There have always been problems, and always a search for a better way.
ya well one day we are going to stumble upon somthing we dont want look at aids the goverment made that and look at what happened there alot of things we have made went bad and its not right
It is human nature to always want more and “messing with things” is how we achieve our goals. To understand better, ask yourself the following:
Are you satisfied with what you have?
Would you like to live longer and healthier?
If you had a disability or illness, would you want to have it cured?
I think that is how the world works. We are inquisitive and we seek to understand things that happen around us. Without that behaviour we would still be living in the caves.
@jingram20: “the government made aids”? What I wouldn’t give for a “moronic answer” button right now….
@cwilbur: I was visualizing a cartoon EJECT button myslef.
Because humans watched curiosity kill the cat and found a way to dodge it.
@all jellies. Patience, PATIENCE, P A T I E N C E!

There are definetly things we humans have undertaken which will haunt humanity for a long time to come! (atomic weapons brought Hiroshima/Nagasaki, atomic energy brought waste which will be around for millions of years, biologocial/chemical weapons brought horrors of WWI WWII and Halabja.
At the same time, messing around with stuff is how we learn. We can mess around with rocketery and either build missiles or rockets to the moon!
So when Shakespere said “there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”,
can also be applied to science.
That messing with stuff is not the problem, the problem is what we do with what we learn.
because we cant (usually) see into the future, and “mess[ing] with things” may have been nothing more than a good intention to improve or rectify a situation. (most likely for our own gain, but occasionally for the good of others)
Who decides the “should” in this context? Perhaps there are things that you feel we should not mess with, but other people do think we should. There is no one arbiter of “should.”
we are both the light and the dark in the situation. it is human nature to long for what we do not have. to strive to achieve the unthinkable. think about it. will cell manipulation, we can save the lives of cancer victims. Now, the ethics is in everyone’s eyes. Some agree with it some don’t. But if we figure out a way to even crack the code to cloning, who knows advances may show for a better way to do it. Think about it. Its just like everything else. The atomic bomb was developed in the 40’s then we had the hydrogen bomb. a direct result of research that people didn’t want us to do because they didn’t see it as right.
It’s in human nature. It’s our instinct to know we shouldn’t, but do it anyway. And some, we should. :)
Curiosity…killed the cat.
Montaigne (a French philosopher) would say that moral judgements, such as the ones you’re making @jingram20, are simply a reflection of the society and culture you live in. 150 years ago, people had the same sorts of fears and said the same things about electricity, homogenization and automobiles.
As an aside, what does “cloneing y its dan” mean?
Ego—the reason humans do pretty much everything.
“look back in the day did they do all this no they didnt”
Yes, they did, in the context of their time, and that’s how we got where we are today.
