Morality and Science Should Be Separated, But To a Certain Extent

I feel that science and morals should be separated, but not to much as to where they harm living beings very badly. I feel that morality and beliefs should not be introduced in science experiments because it may make a person dismay certain facts that do not agree with their beliefs or it may cause them to change the outcome to please the public and have more people that hear of this information to believe in what they believe in.

One thing that has been a big part of science that has had many morals intrude on it's study is cloning. A lot of people may say that cloning is unethical because it violates the value of life and makes people act like god since they have the power to create life. First of all, that is a personal opinion about how it makes them act as though they are God. Second of all, if scientists are able to continue their research on cloning and put their own morals out of their way it may be able to save and continue many lives later in the future.

Many arguments have been made for and against cloning. But overall the benefits seem to outweigh the cons. As stated in the article earlier said, if a person clones their own heart at a young age they could use it later on in life if they suffer a heart disease. But there are many arguments against it, which are mostly based on peoples morals, one being that it violates life and makes it worthless. But this can save many lives, and create new beings as well for those who cannot create any longer. These are just a few reasons why I feel morals should be separated from science.
