How Science Works Scientific Knowledge - Uses - Limitations.
Scientific knowledge can used to develop technology. The results
of improved can be more useful to some people than to others.
For example, developing genetic changes to crops to make them
grow in hot dry conditions might be more useful to people living
nearer the equator than the poles. Improved technology can be
expensive and some people might not benefit because they do not
have enough money. For example, radiotherapy used to treat
cancer may only be available in richer countries. Scientific
knowledge has limitations. There are some questions which can
not be answered because the evidence is incomplete or
inconclusive. This type of question can be answered by science
in the future after doing further research. There are some
questions which can never by science. Science can tell us how to
do things but not whether it is good or right to do things.
People look to philosophy, politics or religion to answer these
questions. Links How Science Works S
