Opinions might be divided whether scientists should be blamed for the negative impact of their discoveries or not. People from different walks of lives may take different stance on this controversial issue. Personally, I believe that scientists should be protected from the criticism for problems that caused by their inventions for the following two reasons.
인트로 깔끔하니 좋아여~~!!
First, more often than not, it is hard for the scientists to predict all of the ramifications that their research might have. In these days, society has become so complex with various field interconnected with one another in ways people do not realize. Therefore, things do not seem to follow the rule of cause and effect, and sometimes deeds done out of good intentions backfire and end up with disasters. In this regard, If the intentions were good, scientists should not be subject to criticism for the negative results of their discoveries. For example, Alfred Novel, inventor of dynamite and founder of Novel Prize, is said to have regretted to make dynamite because the dynamite was used for the weapons in World War 1. However, his original intention for the dynamite was to make easier to construct mines or caves. He was reported to say that he had not expected the use of dynamite for making the weapons that killed many innocent lives.
Also, If the scientists were subject to criticism for the negative impact of their discoveries, they are not likely to do any research and finally this deters development of science and whole society. Developments of science have changed our lives dramatically and scientists always have done their part. However, if scientist were criticized for the negative impact of the problems that they do not expect, they would lose motivation to do their creative research. For example, If the car inventors have been subject to criticism for car accident and environmental pollution, they had not kept their research continually. However, no one deny denies the fact that cars are now one on of the best inventions in the world. If they had stopped inventing the cars, we could not have the convenient to travel, shop, commute to work throughout the cars.
All in all, because of two reasons mentioned above, I strongly believe that scientists are not responsible for the negative impact of their discoveries.
