Ethical Dilemmas

As you now know, the Romantics during the 19th century were against industrialisation, and nursed a fear of what science and technology might bring into society.

Today, although we recognise and cherish the opportunities that science and technology bring, we sometimes face difficult decisions because of the new possibilities we stand before. What lengths should we go to in order to save a life? What measures should we take to create healthy babies who may grow up to become successful adults? To ensure wealth, health and happiness for our kin? Will everyone be invited to join a potential “super-society”, or will we ultimately create an “A-team” and a “B-team” when trying to eliminate all of nature’s flaws?
