While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner.
Science is an enterprise that should be cherished as an activity of the free human mind. Because it transforms who we are, how we live, and it gives us an understanding of our place in the universe.
In many ways, acting is really like a science to me to figure out the human behavior of any character that I'm playing.
Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.
Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors.
I find the science behind major natural events almost more interesting than the way in which those same events wreak their effects on human society.
To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.

Our biggest struggle as human beings is to project ourselves as something that society has deemed admirable or likable instead of being honest.
The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.
One of the most extraordinary things about being a spiritual teacher is the rare privilege of being able to look deeply into the very souls of many human beings at the same time.
One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the ch...
It's true that humanity has seen a succession of crises, wars and atrocities, but this negative side is offset by advances in technology and cultural exchanges.
Human technology has made it to Mars. We are transmitting gorgeous pictures from it. Yet we have not explored our own planet. Two-thirds of it is covered with oceans that are still mysterious places.
I think we can allow the therapeutic uses of nuclear transplant technology, which we call cloning, without running the danger of actually having live human beings born.
The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it.
