Abstract
This Article investigates the steps which need to be undertaken in order to ensure that scientific conduct is legitimized—and thereby recognized—as indispensable for global peace and progress. Contemporary philosophy of science embraces the positive value of scientific investigations that are not only useful and practical but also, at the same time, view biotechnology as a tool for viewing the whole of life in a positive, affirming way. Such a philosophy must seek to accommodate what may be seen as a shared partnership rather than codify an absolute sovereignty of science.
