Our skulls contain an insatiable brain of answers. He doesn't always ask the right questions. Our world needs to gather the right information. Perhaps it would be enough, but we can debate it, to ask the right questions. Wouldn't progress lie in the right questions? Questions can help us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we live in, when designed and thought through correctly. These are the questions I asked myself while reading this excellent book by Gregory Stock.

Loved this book because it didn't give any answers. Questions, questions, questions. Exploring the messy business of ethics and discovering that gray is the proper color for our decisions.
