The biologist's role in society as well as his moral and ethical responsibility in the discovery and development of new ideas has led to a reassessment of his social and scientific value systems A scientist can no longer ignore the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of his findings as he is with the basic research in which he is involved This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of a laboratory balance As a member of society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man's control of his environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionary development
As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human traits are made to order, may soon be a reality As desirable as it may seem to be, such an accomplishment would entail many value judgments Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for change? In cases of genetic deficiencies and diseases, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the possibilities for social misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits

A To urge biologists to solve the problem of surplus human population
B To advise biologists to carry out extensive research into genetic engineering C To conduct a survey of the biologist's role in society
D To emphasize the biologist's role in solving the world's problems

B the development of new ideas C his manipulation of genes D his basic research
Câu 41: The pronoun "they" in paragraph refers to _ A effects of genetic engineering misuse
B cases of genetic deficiencies C possibilities for genetic deficiencies
D discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms
