Science only tells us what is possible, not what is right.

Explain what this statement means. Argue instead that science helps us to
judge what is right. To what extent can science help us to make decisions
about what is right and wrong?
Science is very powerful. It has generated the knowledge that allows us to
call a friend halfway around the world or to vaccinate a baby against polio.
The reach of science might seem to be endless, but it is not. Science does
not make moral judgements about what is right and wrong. For example,
are scientific cultured organs ethical justified? Is euthanasia a good
solution to preform? Questions like these are important, but scientific
research cannot answer them. Individual people must make their own
moral judgement in the end. There might be no limit to science, but that
does not mean every research and every new invention is right.
However, sometimes science can help us to decide what is right or wrong.
It can help us learn about, for example, terminal illnesses and the history
of human and animal rights. This gained knowledge can inform out
opinions and decisions. Besides, moral judgements have to do with human
well-being and human well-being is something that we can look at through
the lens of science. Hence the scientific method can help us explore
answers to moral and ethical questions. Progress in science will lead to
new knowledge and this new knowledge might change the way we think
about these questions. For example, if someone knows more about
terminal illnesses he might change the way he thinks about euthanasia
because he figures out that patients with these illnesses are suffering
unbearable.
Therefore, science can help us describe how the world is and then we have
to decide how to use this knowledge. Ultimately, science cannot lead us to
a set of objective ethical values. The individual can only decide these
ethical values.
