We can try to wish it away but that will fail. Instead we have to build our social ability to deal with what we discover. In general when left to human desires and needs science does seem to maintain a semblence of respect for social concerns. It is when virtual constructs such as corporations get ahold of the fruits of science that we see them abused in the name of corporate profits rather that benefitting humans.
Within corporate ethics survival of the corporate entity takes precidents. What benefits a corporation may not benefit humans. And this is the reason we must remain in control of corporations.
