Responsiblity Of Research Workers In Regard To Human Welfare
Fishermen James Daley and two others from Stonehaven, N.B., recount a harrowing incident in the Bay of Chaleur when five whales, 40 to 50 feet long, charged their 25 foot boat as they tried to cut a dragging anchor line. The men describe the danger, near-drowning splashes, and the moment they lifted the bow above water. The piece then shifts to a commentary by Sir Richard Gregory and others on scientific responsibility, ethics, and the need for formal limits on research, warning that unchecked discovery can save or destroy lives.
