No - it helps us combat disease, create a digital world and understand the planet we live on.

It depends... on who is applying the knowledge and what they set out to do.

50%

Maybe - but surely it's more dangerous to act without checking the facts first?

    Knowledge is important, but eg for vaccines people could be harmed by side effects, so I think all knowledge should be treated carefully.

    It depends on who has the power, who is affected and how the discussions are put forward using the knowledge obtained.

    Hmm...It truly depends. I mean, if scientists discovered a cure for a deadly disease that knowledge would have to be shared.
