I didn't say science is evil. I said that some things are best left alone. What happens if something does go wrong? All those "smart" scientists will be wrong. The few that showed caution, will be proved right. By then, it'll probably be too late for it to matter. Sometimes, throwing caution to the wind is not the *right* way of doing things. Notice that the scientists that are pro for it, aren't saying it'll definitely not have any of these raised issues. They are saying that it's unlikely. Hedged bets if you ask me. If they can't be 100% sure that nothing untoward will happen to the planet, then we shouldn't be doing it. Plain and simple.

I know many people who don't want this experiment to go ahead. What happened to our vote? Or is it just tough luck, the science lads want to do it, so tough ****?
