You're right. But f*cking college sluts and earning money are self-serving pursuits, while scientific knowledge benefits the entire race.
Therefore logically it's the "better" cause to work for.
That's just so silly. The arguement is about whether or not scientists should have any boundaries in their work. OF COURSE they should, without boundaries scientists can do the most horrific things to humans and destroy parts of the environment while just saying "It's for the better!" yeah okay, once it's your turn to be put in a pressure chamber or have a nuclear bomb blow up x ammount of miles from you, we'll see how much you love being a test for science.
It's always easy to say it's fine when YOU'RE not the one dealing with the consequence.
While scientific discovery is great you can't act as zealous and as an angry as a religious person ranting about finding The Love of Jesus Christ.
But anyways, you're assuming because I'm saying scientists should have moral boundaries that means people should stop learning and start ****ing sluts in college.
You're using some logical fallacies here.
