Scientist provide us with information regarding the natural and/or the physical world. They cure unknown diseases, create weapons of mass destruction, clone people and animals, and much more. Doesn't sound like its that harmful does it? Oh, but it is! With the increasing in technology and intelligence, the outcome of science will just get worse. This will be dangerous for the future of humans and animals and the physical world. I don't believe that scientist know what the outcome of what they are doing, or consider science, going into it. They just see the effect after the damage is done. For instance, in the legendary story of Frankenstein, the scientist Victor Frankenstein creates this monster, just to test out science, and after creating the monster it had negative affects on mankind. The monster caused havoc among other humans and in the city of which they were located. Victor never knew that this would happen, but he saw what happened and it wasn't positive. This is just creating something close to humans.
Also, with a great scientist by the name of Robert Oppenheimer, he created something that could wipe out a whole country, the atomic bomb. It started the Civil War and with technology increasing, i'm pretty sure there is something that can destroy everything on the planet. We don't need bombs on our planet that can get rid of human-life as we know it.
There are many positive attributes of science but there are many negative outcomes that affect the environment, our health and our planet. No one knew by creating a car that uses gas would release emissions that create global warming and not allow gasses to leave the planet. Yes, science create a easier way of living for us, yes it helps us understand the physical world we live in but it does harm us and will continue to harm us in the future.
