The benefits of medical research are real - but so are the potential horrors of genetic engineering and embryo manipulation.

Astronomy differs from most sciences in that we cannot do experiments; the astronomer must build up from his existing observations a picture or "model" of the Universe, and then look for further effects which should be observable if his model is correct.

Martin Ryle

Quote of the day
