The ethics dilemmas of scientific exploration

Abstract

The lecture compromises the indication, that the condition of the modern civilization, called IT civilization, is primarily shaped by the scientific achievements, and science itself recognizes its position as one of the most fundamental and decisive voices contributing in the process of the world's development. More often than not, it might be noticed, that science conditions the solution of the most utmost problems of life. The strong position of science among other elements recreating the culture-civilization reality has evoked ethics dilemmas. The science has been deprived of its association with freedom to become the servant of services, strictly utilitarian purposes, it has lost its exclusive character, its sense of mission to constitute one of the jobs simply carried out.
