Scientists always face an ethical dilemma, particularly when balancing the ultimate human values, they inspire to their nationalistic, ethnic, racial, family and belief loyalties. I have seen this conflict over 50 plus years working and meeting with scientists; some are Nobel laureates and, in my reading, and studies of science history.

Today we meet a brilliant chemist, Fritz Haber, who won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He worked on ammonia's industrial production, feeding millions of people globally via better fertilisation. Yet, he worked on producing poisonous gas during World War I, killing thousands of people.

He is revealed today by many. Institutes are carrying his name, for example, in Germany and Israel, but also considered

a monster by others.

 

I hope we will read and learn something about him and other similar examples to make your judgement on the ethical dilemma and the utopian image of being a scientist?

CHAPTER 1 Confession

Confessions of Saint Augustine   Chapter I Great art Thou, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is Thy power, and Thy wisdom infinite. And Thee would man praise; man, but a particle of Thy creation; man, that bears about him his mortality, the witness of his sin, the witness that Thou resistest the proud: yet would man praise Thee; he, but a particle of Thy creation. Thou awakest us to delight in Thy praise; for Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless, until it repose in Thee. Grant me, Lord, to know and understand which is first, to call on Thee or to praise Thee? and, again, to know Thee or to call on Thee? for who can call on Thee, not knowing Thee? for he that knoweth Thee not, may call on Thee as other than Thou art. Or, is it rather, that we call on Thee that we may know Thee? but how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? or how shall they believe without a preacher? and they that seek the Lord shall praise Him: for they that seek shall find Him, and they that find shall praise Him. I will seek Thee, Lord, by calling on Thee; and will call on Thee, believing in Thee; for to us hast Thou been preached. My faith, Lord, shall call on Thee, which Thou hast given me, wherewith Thou hast inspired me, through the Incarnation of Thy Son, through the ministry of the Preacher.
