The Ethicality Of Science The Ethicality of Science by Ryan Potter “The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants” General Omar Bradley. Our lives revolve around the makings of our thinking. The creation of tools to extend body and mind, pushing humanity to unimaginable limits, this is the nature of human science. In our attempt to further ourselves, we often have put our ethics in hind view, passing over the true benefits and hindrances of what we create. Yet, in retrospect, nations have realized that with great benefit also come equal or greater consequences. Restrictions have begun stopping ‘evils’ of science. The first look at ethics in science were seen with the after math of the second world war; we continue to see some ethical restriction with current technology and can only hope to see it in the future. At what point will our Ethics finally catch up to our technology' The aftermath of World War 2 caused the world to turn around and examine the extent of our technology. With the introduction of the atomic bomb in the Second World War, the allies were given a weapon so powerful that no one dare provoke them.
