Science is many things but at its core, it is fundamentally human - to strive to understand, to seek out, and to know.

And as we strive to do find out more about the world while adhering to strict codes of conduct & ethical boundaries, it is that human element that can sometimes cause the trouble - where the search for answers collides with what is morally questionable.
