On science and uncertainty

Should science be slowed down by the law to regulate the enterprise more tightly to limit what we humans should know or not? Is there a genuine apprehension that science might be taking the meaning out of life? In this blog I will be extending, challenging and connecting what knowledge I hold with the essay from Discover, by Lewis Thomas

Science is something that cannot be stopped even if it becomes illegal. The human race is one that likes to discover and try reach to the end of things, as science is a topic that allows the human mind to express themselves whether theoretically or practically. Science is not only used be doctors to find cures for a sickness that has physically replicated itself over time however it also exaggerates on the topics of LIFE, not only does science discover the new areas of our body and test them to a certain extent but it also studies the things we are able to do and to the extent that we are able to reach to with the help of scientific studies.

What challenges me in the article that we have read is why would Lewis Thomas ever take into consideration that science should be banned. This not only stops the discovery of new things in life but it also, limits the depths in which we are able to reach as human beings. It stated that we should be worried about traffic on Mars however I dont think that this is the top priority for us humans right now. Instead I beleive that we should be allowed to reach the limits and expand or develop our knoweldge that we currently hold between the globe.
