One of my favorite quotes from Jurassic Park: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they never stopped to think whether they SHOULD"

It's the job of scientists to continually explore and discover. A group so singularly minded often times requires some sort of outside checks and balances to ensure they are considering the morals and ethics of their activities.

I don't think the Bush administration is a particularly good group to be doing this monitoring, however, as his deep religious beliefs make him equally single-minded in the other direction.
