Science without social responsibility?

This issue can be connected directly back to big-business motives. Somewhere along the way, people started learning (and teaching) ruthless business ideals involving pure numbers-punching and zero concern for ethics. In order for scientists to get funding for projects, they need to 'streamline' there plans, thereby making their projects more appealing to the big-businesses who are providing funding. Social responsibility is something that is easy enough to cast aside, in favor of making a project seem more attractive. Often times, denial of social responsibility can take a while to manifest as a visible problem and it could be difficult to trace the problems back to a single cause by the time they are realized. For this reason, social responsibility is way down on the list for people operating in a strict capitalistic way, unless of course they can MAKE MONEY on these ideas!
