Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from
29 to 36The 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
Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways to curb
environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality of his life Many
scientists believe that
underlying
the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population A rise in
population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the waste products of which increase the
pollution of air, water, and soil The question of how many people the resources of the Earth can support is one of
critical importance
Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they indicate the need for
biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements
necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet Although many of man's present and future problems
may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biological
ramifications
that could
affect the very existence of life itself
