How does it relate to Frankenstein?

When we try to satisfy our thirst for knowledge, we only end up wanting more of it. What are some things science will never be able to solve?

No, science will not find solutions to all human problems... if humanity had no problems, they'd invent them. Humans are too complex & diversified an animal to find a "one size fits all" solution to their problems. Chuckle, if that happened then scientists would have nothing to do & that in itself would create problems. Problems drive the human race & without them, we'd simply waste away.
The most challenging problems facing us are determininng what we & our fellow humans really want from life... that is far different from what they say or even think they want. Offering more options in life will be helpful, but will not solve all the problems. Extending our life span will create far more problems than even we can solve.

No. Most human problems are not technological or even physical. Despite the wishes of New Age and other dreamers, the nature of man is to do evil, not to do good. Science can't help that. Frankenstein is fiction. Rather, look at the news. How many of the awful things you see could have been prevented by science?

Lol. Not likely, because as a principle, new needs rise for every satisfied need.
And I guess this would relate to Frankenstein because in the book Dr. Frankenstein seeks through science to overcome death, the ultimate frontier.

I agree with Obama's science czar in that if human life isn't intrinsicly valuable and worth protecting simply for being human, then our worth must be based on something else, such as our developmental stage, cognitive abilities, self-awareness, etc. That means a newborn isn't really any more valuable than a fetus if the parents don't want it. A baby doesn't have the mental power to "care" one way or another whether or not it is killed, just like an insect or a potato. They do not even show signs of being truly self aware in a way that we do until the toddler stage. It doesn't matter if they can feel pain - pigs can feel pain to and we kill them to make incredibly unhealthy and unncessary food stuffs. Not to mention a pig is much, much more intelligent than an infant. Even then we could kill them "humanely" by putting them to sleep like we do with pets so that there is no pain involved. This man is being logically consistent. If a mother and father CHOOSE to euthanize an unwanted newborn that NO ONE else has emotional attachment to, no one else should have any say in the matter, just like they have no say in whether or not a mother aborts her fetus. We could also probably save a lot of money by euthanizing unwanted babies put up for adoption. Not to mention they wouldn't have to grow up in foster care and become criminals or something. Also, they won't have to grow up unwanted, which is worse than death from what I hear. Personally, I am not a hypocrite and I think human life is valuable any every stage of development. I do not believe a developing human goes from "valueless" to magically gaining "personhood" the moment it completely pops out of a vagina. I believe women have rights, but not the right to kill another developing human being out of convenience, just like she cannot dump her newborn baby in a dumpster. That's why I'm pro-life.

Yes! Science will perfect the ultimate pill that we can take, which will make us feel like there are no problems at all! Problems are only in the mind. In nature, there are no problems, s**t just happens.

when science fixes one thing, usually something else needs fixing then
also, we will never finda solution to all of the problems, b/c things evolve and adapt aroung the meds and treatments

no, because whenever science find solution to a human problem, another problem comes up.

Only God knows the solution to all problems, and He will reveal solutions to us in His timing not ours. or sometimes He will not reveal a solution so we can grow and mature.

no. we seem to find more difficult issues every decade. Look at AIDS, and HIV (they're actually different) and drug resistant TB. and those are only the ones we KNOW about!!
