The most frequent accusation faced by scientists who somehow try to change the world, it is the charge of imitating God. Many times the media publicize the new threats, the creation of black holes, biohazards, and artificial intelligence.
But is this really so?
Scientists, it is not medieval alchemists that mixed without looking colored liquids with the aim to find out the effect. It's not Dr. Frankenstein, who beat Lightning in darned corpse in order to see "what?". It is not the evil genius of the movies that are ready to die, utyanuv for the whole world, but to prove his innocence.
The main difference between scientists from all the above image - is having a plan and a number of hypotheses investigated phenomenon. Thanks to modern computer technology it is much easier to extrapolate the results of a particular study. It is at times increases the safety testing of new chemical compounds and AI algorithms such inventions pose a threat.
If previously used for that mammals (rats, pigs, monkeys) now just download algorithm on the PC, and wait for the result. Science, though blind, and today has a number of unanswered questions, but not stupid. Every scientist estimates in the first place - the risks inventions.Questions of morality and ethics, within the framework of science, should not be raised at all. Those on whom the experiments are set (we are talking about people who voluntarily agree to it) are equivalent to the ancient heroes, discoverers, test pilots, etc. On the stage of the experiment, we can only imagine the result. And based on it determine - ethical manipulation or not.
And finally: even the Bible says that the earth, animals and plants, oceans, mountains and the world, were created specifically for a person. Everything that surrounds us, the default becomes our enjoyment and learning. And we are free to use the world as we see fit.
