+ | ===Science & War=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | | War? Huh!? What is it good for? | A scientist can look at war like any other government act which has a purpose, a method and consequences. | ||

+ | | Should scientists participate in war-related activities? | ||
+ | | Should scientists accept grants from war-related government funds? | ||
+ | | Bottom line | Ultimately, scientists are human. Some issues in government are a matter of emotions and outlook on life, which is beyond science as a practice. However, scientists have an obligation to make informed decisions, looking objectively at means and ends. Increasingly growing sense that scientists participate in ensuring the beneficial use of the information and knowledge they uncover and generate. | ||
