A topic can't "fail", please stop being an idiot by saying things like that. I'm sure you could come up with a more reasonable reply that includes what you think the discussion of science and its contributions to the world without coming off as a 4chan user.
nikki: That isn't the point whatsoever. The point is that the tool is neither "good" nor "bad". It's just like anything else in life: the usage determines the connotation. If nukes were able to clear up the world's trash problem without dangerous side-effects I bet everyone would love them, but that's simply not going to happen because nukes were primarily designed as a weapon for massive destruction.
That's an example of what I mean. It doesn't matter that people created the means by which we convey information today. It does matter what's presently happening with scientific advancements. I really don't care if it's possible to create hybrids. I fear the day that research will be used for eugenics or for creating weapons.
If you think the benefits outweigh the costs, I hope I don't have to live with the consequences.
