  • Science doesn't inherently have moral or ethical value, it simply explains how things work
  • Scientists aren't responsible for the application of scientific knowledge
  • Technology's application is influenced by many factors such as politics, governance, religion, and business
  • Advancements in science and technology are pervasive and improve human life
  • Challenges arise from the rapid progress of science and technology such as replacing human jobs and antibiotic-resistant bacteria and viruses
  • Science and technology have a double-edged function - leading to both benefits and problems

Ethical Dilemmas

  • A dilemma is a situation where a person is forced to choose between two or more conflicting options, neither of which is acceptable
  • Ethical/moral dilemmas arise when people are forced to choose between conflicting options that don't resolve the situation morally
