Science is the only part of our world that is restricted on moral grounds...
- bediger4000 4y agoThis doesn't seem correct. Most of our laws have a moral basis.
- seattle_spring 4y agoWhat exactly is the intended inference here?
- LatteLazy 4y agoLet me extend my point: Politicians and business leaders do whatever is popular/profitable no matter the morality. Scientists are prevented from doing anything that even might be considered questionable by someone. Then people wonder why our society makes so little progress scientifically and why we make so much immortal but profitable "progress". Why we have endless abuse of workers but no treatments for dementia or depression... Anything socially useful can be vetoed by a tiny minority. Anything socially harmful but privately profitable is a RIGHT, beyond question.

- LatteLazy 4y agoYes. Profit is almost never restricted. If you want to give a 14 tear old a beer expect prison. If you want to give a 14 tear old a job that ruins their education and costs them a limb, a 5k fine...
