Science is a major threat to human existence

Cloning of animals and especially humans, as well genetic engineering experiments show us that scientists are eager to move past the public's discomforts. However, if clioning of humans were to become more widespread and therefore more acceptable, the value of a human life would diminish. From succesful cloning, things can go two ways: either governments will give human clones full rights or they won't. (or they could restrict the creation, but that wouldn't last. )The first is out of the question. Cloning would effectively divide the society into several groups, ranging from "desirable" citzens to "undesirable" ones, because everybody would know that the troublesome people aren't necessary. You can always clone good taxpayers and kill or banish half of the country to create a race of obedient people. Don't laugh, Hitler tried but didn't know the secrets of cloning. It would be like excising a tumor, getting rid of the bad cells to create better ones. The second would obviously lead to a very distopian world authors would portray through a book. We could clone humans, and have them do the dirty work for us. Mining, farming, clearing sewage; tasks like these would be taken over by the not-really-people people. Slavery would return, not everywhere but it would become a major issue even in the USA. Because why work when you can buy another to work for you? And if society ever gets to that state. .. well, we'll deserve the uprising we'll get. These are the fruits of science.2) Science also gives humans a greater capacity for destruction. The most famous example of scientific destruction is the nuclear bomb. If we look at some very early examples, the nuclear bomb named Little Boy had a yield of 16 kilotons. The largest nuclear weapon ever was detonated at half-strength by the USSR, and had a yield of 50 megatons. That's a bit less than 5,000 times what was dropped on Hiroshima. And it was only half-full. Over the years, USA has probably managed to pull together something that goes bang much louder on detonation. On this website there is a chart that I find portrays the situation quite well: ". http://www.businessinsider.com... in mind that the last one, Castle Bravo, was created in 1954. Some professors argue that if eight or more modern nuclear weapons were detonated on the surface at roughly the same time, 95% of Earth's life would die of either the blast, the radiation, or the nuclear winter following. These are the fruits of science3) Established technologies, such as the wireless smartphone, are dissecting families in first world countries. Many individuals are embracing autonomous lives on the internet, which pulls apart families as a unit. Mr. Anderson, the president of probe ministries and an author of many essays and books, thinks that it is specifically this dissection of a family that brings down nations. This is shown based on his studies of ancient Rome, Greece, Persia and Assyria; whenever families members started competing or not socializing, the nation slowly withered and died. Thes are the fruits of science.
