Questions for Discussion

1. Should scientists have to report their experiments to the
government for approval before conducting them so in case
something goes wrong, they have someone to blame?
Would the scientist be at blame or the government for
allowing the experiment to happen in first place?
2. Mr. De Lacey says, Most people are friendlyunless they
are blinded by prejudice. What prejudices do we see in the
world today? How does these prejudices effect our society?

3. No one is born hating another person because of the color

of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must
learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be
taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human
heart than its opposite. Nelson Mandela
