Alot of Truth to That Statement

"They (politicians - ed. note) want to portray science as something dangerous - to delegitimize it,” he said in a Haaretz Magazine interview. “They point at one technology as if it is the only one that endangers mankind. They warn that duplication will permit an entire army of duplicated soldiers, or little Hitlers. Politicians say `We will forbid the dangerous, inhumane research.’ As if they do not decide what society will do. Science does not decide, nor does it dictate. Science only invents things. It is duplicitous when politicians say that the scientists, not they, are the ones who are endangering the world."

The above was taken from a Haaretz.com article, titled “Science invents, it doesn’t decide," which was written by Tamara Traubman.  The speaker quoted in the article is Michel Ravel, and he is one of Israel’s leading scientists.  At least that is what a leading scientist states.
