To quote (roughly) a line from Jurassic Park: "You were so concerned about figuring out if you could, you forgot to ask if you should." That might be a big part of this polling figure:

> Another interesting poll result from the University of Virginia . . . has to do with the public's perception of science. "Question 3: Scientific research these days doesn't pay enough attention to the moral values of society." Fifty-six percent agreed strongly (25%) or somewhat (31%), versus only 37% who disagree--(23%) somewhat, (14%) strongly. What does that tell us? Perhaps, people are beginning to perceive science as a special interest rather than an objective source of information and advice.
