I almost think it is the ultimate destiny of science to exterminate the human race.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Science, already oppressive with its shocking revelations, will perhaps be the ultimate exterminator of our human species - if separate species we be - for its reserve of unguessed horrors could never be borne by mortal brains if loosed upon the world.
It's a moral question about whether we have the right to exterminate species.
Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.
At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace the savage races throughout the world.
Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.
I saw science as being in harmony with humanity.
The physical extinction of the human race is one possibility.
I think, however, that so long as our present economic and national systems continue, scientific research has little to fear.
Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.
I am one of those scientists who feels that it is no longer enough just to get on and do science. We have to devote a significant proportion of our time and resources to defending it from deliberate attack from organised ignorance.
