The article says that 'science is founded on uncertainty', this was an easy concept to understand as scientists always make hypotheses about various things, whether they are right or wrong, they still have to make assumptions until they are proven wrong. The thing that helped extend my knowledge was when it said that there is no single field in medicine or in biology that is 100% certain. It also said that the more we learn about different creatures, the stranger life becomes. This made me think and I realised that it is somewhat true as when more and more things come up it becomes difficult to comprehend everything as we have to question everything that we already know. " Soon there will be earnest proposals that science should be slowed down by law to regulate the enterprise more tightly," This particular statement in the article fascinated as well as confused me as it led me to think why would you possibly slow down science? It also said that there are things that human beings are better off not knowing, but to me, that is no reason to stop researching and discovering new things.
You have demonstrated a good understanding of the reading. You should attempt to illustrate your ideas whenever possible.
