Knowledge, as has been proclaimed, continues to be the foundation of modern society. With the desire to know more, Man has pushed the boundaries of science, and discovered millions of brilliant new inventions and concepts that have totally revolutionised the world that Darwin knew.

In our brave new world, it is hardly audacious to think that micro-chips embedded in the human brain will one day become an acceptable form of identification, and much less that tomorrow scientists will find a cure for cancer. .
Yet, intelleligence may not always be to our advantage. While gene therapy may well save millions of lives, what is to prevent a Hitler incarnate from gaining world domination simply by the click of a mouse? In the surge of new discoveries and new ideas, it is easy to be snared by the lucrative temptation of using good for bad.
