But can you say with much likelihood that the benefits of that sort of science (in isolation) greatly outweigh the downside? Can science, from this point on, ever (hope to) offset all its outright deaths?
Can you say that the universe's "asking price" has gone up because of some ad hoc scientific advancements. Or that, in a thousand years from now, also the future will still revere the current set of noted scientists?
