      I assume the argument is the new baby has the privilege to grow up and, in all odds, die in suffering and pain like many millions each year?

      His focus, like all others who think about things from a scientific perspective and are influential, should be on solving human problems.

          Yes we saw it. The question is focus for people like yourself who are in the public eye. 'Science' needs to take a stand against our economy

          Hold on! Having science take a stand on our economy is very dangerous and unscientific, kinda like that comedian the Unscience Guy.

          Science needs to stay within the confines of the Scientific Method. For it to move into ideology is very very dangerous.

          There is no "ideology" to move to. Unless reason is an ideology.

          Ideology definition: A system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.

          Asking science to make a stand on the economy is asking it to be idrological. That's fine for entertained like the Unscience guy not science

          Yes, reason can be and ideology too. Like when someone states, science is the only road to truth. That can breed Authoritarianism.

          Out of all the scientists I've seen, Neil is one of the better ones. He is taking a stand against the denial of climate change for us.

          The massive ignorance that exists in USA is not fault of Neil, he can only do so much to help, but it's him against an ignorant population.
