In this piece, the Dalai Lama talks about the relationship between science and ethics. In this piece, he explains to us how science has been advancing too fast and past what we find to be Ethical. He first goes on to talk about the genetic makeup and gene mutations in humans. gives us a variety of reasons as to why we shouldn’t genetically customize our babies, and why we shouldn’t gene test to see if we are positive for a specific genetic disease. Mostly during this part Dalai Lama brought up the fact that gene testing and genetically modify a person brings up a lot of ethical questions that seem to get overlooked. He also touches on the facts of cloning and what it could do to benefit humans in society. He did say that he’s not opposed to it but once again he brings up ethics, and this seems to be the main attraction of the paper. How can we make monumental scientific achievements, but at the same time make sure everything is within ethical reasoning.

Claim: In order for scientists to continue with scientific milestones they must educate the public on these milestones, and the pros and cons of each scientific discovery. The more educated the general population is on their scientific studies the more we can balance them with ethical reasoning in society.
