Can Society Handle Knowledge?
Society and individuals can definitely be dangerous when given information. It is what we choose to do with that knowledge that can make it dangerous. We have the potential to make great things in our discoveries, but we usually don't always do the right thing with that knowledge. In medical sciences, we have found possible advantages in cloning, and instead we cloned secret lambs. We tried to make nuclear energy, eternal energy for everyone, split the atom and what happens? Chernobyl and the incident at the Trojan Nuclear Plant. We have the power to do plastic surgery and allowing those hurt to look alive, some people take these sciences and alter what not need be altered. Joan Rivers and Michael Jackson were never happy.
A clone, is this ethical? Should we be allowed to make clones then pinch and poke at their lives because we created them? These are questions that medical scientists argue, "In power we are allowed". If we hadn't found these techniques, we would not be feuding over them. Why is it that we take things for granted and change what we already have? Humans already have a way to reproduce. Why, unless for good , helpful purposes, do we change and or attempt to alter what we already have natural to us? Does this make us greedy? Or just unsatisfied? It is if our knowledge is leading us down a revolution of entirely new human beings of a new discrepancy. Will they be liked or will they bare the mark of criticism for being who we made them? Who makes one and then punishes them for what they were taught?
Nuclear safety has been a huge public concern, History has shown that we have had both good and bad luck with the knowledge of nuclear activity. We try to build power accelerators to allow us to have more energy than the biggest one hundred thousand powered dams ever created. This was wonderful knowledge, but it wasn't tested and probed
