Lets talk ethics

Let's talk ethics. What is ethical? And for whom is it to decide if an action or statement is ethical? These are both questions that come to mind when there is much argument about weather something is right or wrong. Because our world is filled with so much diversity it is impossible to state that something is ethical because whats ethical to you is not ethical to me. For instance to Karl Marx, it would be ethical to lay a women off if she is pregnant. The argument by Marx would be that her discharge would be solely in the interest of the baby, and the long hours and hard work could tire the mother out. Her fatigue could possibly negatively affect her health which would be bad for the baby. That's where ethics is a twin-headed dragon though, because someone like Susan B. Anthony would view the same situation as a blatant attack on the economic rights of women. Anthony could argue that it is not at all ethical to lay a mother off because she is pregnant and can ultimately view it as the denigration of women's rights. Therefore are a result of its ambiguity there is no real definition of what is ethical.
            Because of the idea proposed above that it is impossible to deem anything ethical, there is no one to say whether Science is or can be ethical. However For the purpose of education lets try to assume that the possibility to deem an action or statement ethical existed. can science be ethical? Well according to Dyson science can and is only ethical when it serves to ameliorate the conditions and needs of the poor. Dyson believes that when science goes astray from that objective, and focuses more on profits and creating toys for the wealthy then science becomes evil. This idea however insane it is relates a lot to "Brave New World". In the novel the World leaders decided that hypnopedia and conforming humans was the only alternative left to a world crushed with the 9 years war. The controlling powers decided that the only way to improve the conditions of the poor, would ultimately result in the relinquishing of free will. Is that ethical? according to Dyson that is ethical, however in our society we have been pampered from our early days to be politically correct therefore losing free will would not be ethical.
           Dyson in his article made an extremely interesting point. Dyson states that genetic engineering is inevitable. He notes that so long there is an interest for humans to improve themselves by technological means genetic engineering will never be suppressed no matter how unethical it might be viewed. That conclusion is possible what Huxley saw before writing the novel and the solution that he possibly prescribes for us as the human race is to look within ourselves and really think about genetic engineering and the "ethics" that result from it.
