So is being God basically the same as playing "The Sims"

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Two posters who are obviously ignorant of the difference between amoral and immoral.

If you're referring to me I know the difference.

I'm asking for clarification of your generalisastion of amorality to 'all' cutting edge scientists.

Can you do that?

You also insinuated in your comment that ethics are out the window when it comes to these scientists, whoever they are. That does in fact suggest that you were inferring a sense of immorality, not just amorality. This is reinforced by the statement you make at the end of your sentance, that scientists only care about accolades. This is an assertion yet to be proven that reeks of personal bias against the topic matter. This also further infers a sense of [b]im]/b]morality abov and beyond lacking morality per se in that you regard scientists as wanting only praise, relegating their job/research ot a second place below their own pride.

A clarification would help belay these questions and advance the debate. All you've done is dismiss a reasonable question, which is very unreasonable.

You're not unreasonable are you, Lion?
