Living with Science

I believe that humans have the responsibility to understand science as best as we can. Knowledge is power, and that knowledge can only be asserted and supported through scientific study.

New technologies can be developed that will further ensure a more prosperous and efficient future. The company that I intern at, CCSE (California Center for Sustainable Energies), promotes the use of environmentally friendly technologies such as solar panels and fluorescent light bulbs. CCSE provides incentives for home and business owners to switch to greener technologies so that they may save money while reducing their carbon footprint.

I believe that it is important to advance our understanding of the world around us, however morality should not be sacrificed in the pursuit of science. For example, I believe that the cloning of humans is morally wrong because it is equivocal to playing God.
