The poem is not in any way opposes science which I have most trust in, however I criticize and express my ambigous feelings for all its coldness, hopelessness, lack of moral and emotional bias which I think to be the driving force to keep on living and fighting against (preventing and curing) physical and mental disease, suffering and premature death (not mentioning obvious limiting factors to life, society and balance of the ecosystem). Clearly, this is a deliberate misunderstanding of some moral principles behind science, economic progress, systems approach and cybernetics with a purpose of making any fellow scientists realize the heavy responsibility that comes with scientific and medical knowledge and ethics. It is also an indicator to the pressure that the dawn of transhumanity puts on the mind and body of the individual alike.
