daf Why do doctors in lab coats torture and twist other forms of life in the name of "knowing" or "saving lives"?

Because when you're playing God, the end justifies the means.

Why do politicians incarcerate people and send them to die for the right to their empty promises and living lies?

Because when you're sitting in a beach house on a billion dollars, rubles or pounds..the end justifies the means.

And why do humans hurt our babies minds? Why do we change them? Why do we mold them to be like we are..if we lock our doors and hurt each other?

Because when you're afraid that life, left to it's own devices might spin out of control..the end justifies the means.

So why DO humans kill other humans?

Because regardless of who is killing who, the end justifies the means.

dafremen Dr. Dimitri Sasselov, eminent astronomer in search of planets outside of our solar system..had this to say in the June 2008 issue of Discover magazine:

Discover: Why SHOULD we be searching for life outside of our solar system?

Dr. Sasselov: We have to know.

(Later in the article)

Discover: Do you think that discovering life on another planet will change life here on Earth much?

Sasselov: "It did not make a big difference 450 years ago whether Earth was the center of our solar system or whether the sun was. It's the same now. Nothing really would change."

To summarize: We have to know because it wouldn't change anything.

Ahhh the shelter from reality, designed for and by inbred intellectuals, which we call academia..
