Scientists always face an ethical dilemma, particularly when balancing the ultimate human values, they inspire to their nationalistic, ethnic, racial, family and belief loyalties. I have seen this conflict over 50 plus years working and meeting with scientists; some are Nobel laureates and, in my reading, and studies of science history.
Today we meet a brilliant chemist, Fritz Haber, who won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He worked on ammonia’s industrial production, feeding millions of people globally via better fertilisation. Yet, he worked on producing poisonous gas during World War I, killing thousands of people.
He is revealed today by many. Institutes are carrying his name, for example, in Germany and Israel, but also considered
a monster by others.
I hope we will read and learn something about him and other similar examples to make your judgement on the ethical dilemma and the utopian image of being a scientist?
