Synopsis
When does scientific progress cross the line from discovery into danger?
Science has transformed civilization. It has conquered diseases, extended human life, revolutionized communication, transformed agriculture, and given us technologies that previous generations could scarcely have imagined.
But scientific progress has also produced some of history's most troubling experiments, technologies, weapons, environmental disasters, and ethical controversies.
In Science or Crime? Exploring the Dark Side of Science, we examine what can happen when the pursuit of knowledge, technological power, commercial interests, or military advantage advances faster than ethics, regulation, and public safety.
From Agent Orange, DDT, thalidomide, the Tuskegee syphilis study, human radiation experiments, and eugenics to more contemporary concerns involving biological weapons, nuclear accidents, antimicrobial resistance, geoengineering, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, autonomous weapons, transhumanism, and biohacking, this Second Edition explores cases that raise an uncomfortable but necessary question:
Just because science can do something, does that mean it should?
The book does not argue that science should be feared or rejected. Instead, it calls for responsible science-science guided by evidence, transparency, ethical safeguards, independent scrutiny, and respect for human life and the environment.
Readers will also discover 12 Ways to Spot Bad Science, including how to recognize sensationalized headlines, misleading statistics, conflicts of interest, confusion between correlation and causation, cherry-picked data, weak study designs, and claims that go beyond the available evidence.
The final sections explore practical principles for preventing dangerous and out-of-control science while preserving the enormous benefits that responsible scientific discovery can bring.
This book is for anyone interested in science, technology, history, bioethics, medicine, environmental issues, artificial intelligence, or the difficult ethical questions surrounding humanity's growing technological power.
Science gives us the power to change the world.
The greater question is whether we have the wisdom to know when we should-and when we should not.
