摘要：The impact of scientific progress on legal doctrine is pervasive yet subtle. Research projects such as the Human Genome Initiative, nuclear fusion, and artificial intelligence all have the potential to shape legal standards by changing the way humanity views itself; however, Culture Clash: Law and Science in America, by Steven Goldberg, warns against allowing the current trend of a preeminent "scientific voice" in matters of morality to continue. Goldberg claims that a lack of public expression of religious perspectives "allows science to carry weight far from its appropriate jurisdiction. Let this be an early warning--important values are at stake" (pp. 176-77).
