202 SCIENTIST 



The questions raised in this chapter are obviously very 

 complicated and far-reaching. I have no intention of com- 

 ing to any conclusion about them. All I hope is that enough 

 has been said to discourage the commonly held idea that 

 science has nothing to do with values. Though science is 

 not a method for deciding value questions, it clearly bears 

 on them at many points. By its skill in defining questions 

 and predicting the results of alternate courses of action, 

 science can certainly suggest answers, even though it can- 

 not by itself decide between alternatives.
