A lot of atrocities of the 20th century were purposefully committed in the name of science and progress, claiming over a hundred million lives. I much prefer candidates who care more about ethics the rights of individuals over those who's primary concern is the scientific method. [EDIT] As a modern example, John Holdren wrote in a 1977 book, Ecoscience, that forced abortions and mass sterilizations were required to save the planet. Being a good enough scientist to become appointed president Obama's scientific advisor, doesn't mean you can't easily rationalize atrocities on a wide scale.
