Ethics in Science: Should scientists consider how their discoveries might be misused?

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." --Dr. Malcolm, 1993

I believe that this is a very intriguing concept that most scientists should have to consider an apply into their works I think once you lose or abandon ethics or ethical values completely from your work you lose your humanity granted I understand that certain situations in science in order to make a break through had to lose some ethics but losing some an completely abandoning them on purpose is completely different in how you approach

I do not see a "Contact Us" link on the NIH site. I also cannot find out anywhere online if gain of function research is being conducted anywhere in the United States. As a work-around I am using this comment field and I'm hoping someone will respond.

Did the caveman who learned to make fire worry about how it would be used? No, he was just cold.

Science the new religious freak show. We know nothing but we will find out.
