My interest is with Obamas support for science, and his direct mention of the removal of ideologies from science.
Don't get me wrong, I support stem cell research; however, do we as a society really want ideologies out of science?
For instance, I don't want people to be injected and killed with fatal viruss in order to test vaccines. I'm sure you can think of worst examples of, shal we say, science without ideologies (Hitler's "science" expirements come to mind).
My point is that some ideologies must be kept; I guess you would call it ethics. Hope you see my point. Perhaps there is a difference between ethics and ideologies. In that case forget everything I just said ; ).
