Science is a humane conduct based on humane desire
Science is a historically evaluated system Science and technology should be under control and management of our society
Science and technology bring big changes to our society
These precious pictures may be you will be interested.

Our longevity: how long we human can live
Genetically modified corn (Star Link) carrying BT toxin gene causes allergic reactions in human?
Does BT corn destroy Environment and/or
biodiversity?
Risk and benefit prediction and management based on scientific facts are required
Genetically modified fishes (salmon, trout) with enhanced expression of growth hormone genes
Andi, a baby rhesus monkey born after genetic
modification of embryos
ANDi (integrated or Introduced DNA)
GFP(green fluorescent protein)gene of jerry
fish is integrated and expressed in Andi
Clone animals: Copy dogs after copy cats ?
Should we save endangered animals by cloning ?
Is natural enemy friendly?
Supposed to be nature- friendly natural enemy
unexpectedly destroys natural environment
Technology is not perfect Science helps improve
technology to provide better solutions
Golden Rice can save human ?
Genetically Modified Crops (GMCs) are unacceptable evil ?
Craig Venter
What is the minimum genome that can sustain life ?
Synthetic Biology:
synthesizing artificial cells (living organisms) and
utilizing them in industries bioremediation material synthesis etc.
Modification and manipulation of life artificial fertilization gene diagnosis GMOs, clones , reproductive medicine etc.
How far this goes and can be acceptable by our society ?
Scientists play god?
Life
Embryo
Cloning
ESC(embryonic stem cell)
GMO (GMC)
What is science ethics ?
What is social ethics ?
Science vs Technology
Decision is up to our society
