Robert Calvert - Telekinesis

Описание: From the 1986 album Test Tube Conceived.
"I am not at all opposed to scientific progress, but what I am opposed to is the possible misuse of scientific discoveries which is the main danger we face. We are now living in an almost infinitely scientifically possible world.
When you look at the advances that we know have been made already in, say, biology, we have to look very carefully, there have to be very strong controls over what is done with this knowledge. The possibility of creating human beings in test-tubes has been around since the fifties.
What is being made availbale to the public now, I don`t think is necessarily indicative of what actually is availble to scientists in research laboratories who haven`t published their papers yet. The prospects are quite terrifying that a human being can actually be created.....
It seems likely to me that they have already found a way of being able to create human life without the necessity of the womb being involved at all - I am sure they can do that. (...) I think it does fundamentally question what a human being actually is. It enables the possibility of human life being considered to be extremly expendable if it`s extremly creatable.
I mean, if you can create a human being without any trouble at all then why should you worry about getting rid of it. (...) Obviously you can`t say "stop doing this", nobody`s in a position to say that it is absolutely categorically wrong either. This is what`s quite frightening about it - there`s nobody who`s in a form of moral position to judge on this.
Having come this far from escaping religious governings, where do we stand?"
