 lifeissues.net | Comments: The Elephant in the Closet:
For example, from the very beginning there was an undercurrent of concern about the makeup of the National Commission, the definition of "ethics" they concocted, their insistent use of false science, and the roles such Commissions should play in this "multicultural, pluralistic, democratic" society.
Most eloquent of these comments was a long letter from Robert Morison, professor emeritus of biology at Cornell.
It is already far too easy for abstract notions of right and wrong to emerge as deontological rules which begin their public life as 'guidelines' but culminate in the force of law.

ROBERT S. Perhaps the most embarrassing issue to be raised by technology is also the most obvious, at least to the naive.
The same youngster who noticed that the emperor had no clothes may now be asking, "What is all your technology for?" The question is embarrassing on several counts, but the most pervasive stems from the very origin of modern science and technology.
