"Think about how you would feel if you were placed in a world thousands and thousands of years beyond your time period, think about that terrifying feeling". It seems to me today that society has separated into ignorant common people, and scientists. I mean, why do scientists - that are many times smarter than you - have to listen to your moral claptrap. We are halted by these morally correct people that feel it is "wrong" to clone animals.
The same counts for stem cell research and rejuvenating aging, the same case. People are spewing moral lines of wisdom to scientists. When did we start getting so afraid of being immoral. What about guns, the atomic bomb, biological weapons, GM food etc.
If we are so afraid of doing wrong, how are ever going to improve?
The more I hear about random people in society having such a big influence on science, the more pissed I get. Especially when religious people get involved.
I think trying to restrict other people's options and freedom in the name of morality is often a compensation mechanism for being unwilling to allow conventional morality to infringe upon one's own wealth and perogatives.
