Dangerous research : When science breeds nightmares

Love the line taken from NYT article. Attached below.
Never dismiss a given question in an essay. It was inspired for a reason.
How would you partition the points and allocate the due attention it deserves or would much of it depend on context and circumstances as well?







5 Questions. Tease out the trends within-


1. ‘How inventions and discoveries are used is not the concern of the scientist.’  Do you agree?


2. To what extent can the regulation of scientific or technological developments be justified?


3. Would you agree that unlimited scientific research is the only way to make real scientific progress?


4. To what extent is it acceptable for private companies to be involved in financing scientific research?


5. To what extent is it acceptable for private companies to be involved in financing scientific research?






5 useful articles below. Be mindful of those (the first?) who appear to answer the question in a fluent way but are evasive in their approach. The points are useful though. How would you get them to engage question directly using readings and discourse markers taught?
