While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner.
The U.S., France, Germany and Canada have all responded to the financial crisis by boosting rather than cutting their science funding. The U.K. has not.
We are a studying nation. Scholarship from science is important to the whole world and those people need to be able to be safe and secure in what they do.
What's going to happen when I die? I may be buried, or I may be cremated, I may give my body to science. I haven't decided yet.
Any teaching of falsehoods in science classes should certainly be identified and stopped by school inspectors. School inspectors should be looking at science teachings to make sure they are evidence-based science.
The moral issue here is whether the United States Congress is going to stand in the way of science and preclude scientists from doing lifesaving research.
The publication of the third volume of Capital has made hardly any impression upon bourgeois economic science.

In world mythology, there are countless examples of tragic characters whose greatest strength is also the source of their undoing. But the ancient Greeks and Romans also held the view that acceptance is the beginning of wisdom.
If you look at Charles Dickens's time, there were so many different levels of society and everybody understood their place in it, it was that complex and simple. I'm not sure we have that now.
Technology determines the possibilities of society. It doesn't matter whether you start out from a fascist state or a communist state or a free-market state.
All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.
