The dark side of science





The dark side of science

The human mind can be the darkest place in the universe

Immoral science means causing unnecessary pain to another living organism. That means that animal cruelty is one sign that there is something wrong. In the orders that were written to scientists is written that the living organism must not hurt or unnecessarily humiliated in the name of science. Of course, we have the right to defend ourselves against the attack of animals and other humans, but we must not cause unnecessary pain to animals and people.

And if we must end the life of the organism, that must be done by causing the minimum pain. This means that the tests of medicals and other things must be done by using the cell cultures and another kind of tissues, what is created by using biotechnology. Because the used cells are identical, that means that the results of the tests are fully comparable. That's why we should use cloned cells.

Opportunity makes criminals, and big opportunity makes big criminals

Evilness is the part of human nature, which is the thing that we must realize when we are selecting the research staff. And when we are thinking about politics and other kinds of things, the opportunity makes criminals. If the attitude of the nation is careless, or the attitude to some kind of minorities is racist, that would create the atmosphere, where the brutality is accepted.

When we are thinking about the most brutal science in the world, the human experiments, what are a symbol of pure evilness, we are always wanted to believe that those things happened only in some Nazi death camps, but the thing is that there are millions of people even in the modern world, who have not full citizen rights, or who would suffer because of the lack of the properly trained medical persons or lack of medicines. How many people have faced the situation that the lack of anesthetic has caused the pain in the dentist? And how many times our dentists have said, that this would cause little pain, and how we know, is the pain necessarily?

Those questions are difficult, and that's why the medical staff must have high moral. But when we are thinking about places, where evilness is accepted, like in concentration camps, the actions, what doctors are done is getting over the limits of understanding in the human mind.

When we are thinking about the hunger experiments, what were made by nazi doctors, we are always wanted to believe, that those tests, where the human was starved to death were made because the persons, who were ordered and made those tests were simply evil. But the tragedy is, that those tests had a very dangerous background.

The hunger experiments: a manifestation of pure evilness

The idea of hunger tests was that if the person would be kept in absolute hard conditions, the most valuable individuals would be selected by using that way. This thing is called "eugenics", and it is one of the evilest parts in anthropology. The idea was fastening the evolution and natural selection. And this kind of thing was "justified" the evilest actions, what were made in the name of science.

But there were also sociological aspects in that brutal treatment. The idea was that the leaders of the society were uncovered because other inmates would give them food. And the last and the most horrifying thing, what was the purpose of the absolute hunger, uncovered what was the most important part of the nervous system. The idea was that the absolute hunger causes in the human body the reaction that the other cells would give their life for upper cells.

So was this science? It was an immoral shame for the entire society, which was responsible for that kind of thing. In those tests, what is done also in many other places than in KZ-camps, we see the brutality and evilness of mankind. And when we are thinking about things like animal cruelty, we must realize, that every evil person starts the career as the animal mutilator. Then they continue their actions with humans.

The ancient Olympic games and their role in society

The ancient Olympic games and their role in society

As we might know, the Olympic games had a much deeper meaning in antic Greece than just games. They offered a place for the discussions about peace and alliances because they were a natural place, where also kings can visit. So there were many other things, which were done around those games, and the sports were not in primary reason, why some kings visited in that area. Hot weather kept people inside or seeing the games, and that caused that the kings could discuss like outsiders didn't hear, what they spoke in their tents.

The ancient Olympics of antic Greece was hosted by the city named Elis, and those games were done in the holy area of Olympia. Those Olympic games were five days of competitions, where athletics race against each other, and then the winner got glory and money. Except in the horse race, where the money was given straight to sponsor, and the driver of the horse got the payment from the sponsor.

Or officially that money was given to a horse, but of course, they were used by the sponsor. And, of course, officially the athletics were private persons when they participated in the games. But those athletics gave gold and glory for their hometowns, and that is one reason, why the loss in those games was a shame.

Even if those athletics were private persons, the city offered them to change to practice for the Olympics and that means that those persons had coaches. When we are looking at the historical texts, the sportsmen gave a small gift to the statue of Zeus, when they won those games. The thing is that those gifts were cheap, and they were symbolic gestures for the gods, that they allowed that man to win the games. And as you might know, that those athletics were trained by professionals. Those gifts were the marketing merchandise, what the coaches used to offer their services.

And training of those athletics was expensive. I don't know did those athletics themselves know that there was big money behind them. So if the sportsman was caught for deceit, that person must buy the small statue of Zeus for the god, and that statue was the mark that money and time, what those athletics were cost must give back. But there is one question in those Olympics, and that is, why they were hosted by Elis?

That is because those sportsmen must dare to try hard, and that means that the place of Elis or the Olympian holy land was chosen for the place of the games, which was kept in the hottest time in summer at every fourth year. The reason for that was that there was a break in agriculture, but the hot weather kept people in order. But there was one thing, why those ancient Olympic games arranged.

That thing might be ancient eugenics. In that time noble families of Greece lived in total isolation, and marriages were allowed only at the same level of people. That means that those families were sharply marked in the family trees and the bloodlines were very important because one handicapped person might risk everything. So the new blood or genetic material, as we would say in modern times should be best what can get. And the Olympics were the perfect place for selecting that new blood.

The thing was that those sportsmen were perfect fathers for the children of the princesses. They brought fresh blood for the royal families of Greece, and that's why they were used for ancient eugenics. The Greeks were known that wealthy people gave wealthy children. In ancient Greece, those people knew, that also things like personality traits are descending. So that was so-called ancient eugenics. And in that time the noble families were living in total isolation, which means that they must get the new genetic material, and that thing was given those athletics. So this kind of thing is a very good way to explain things like DNA manipulation.
