Human value seems to have traditionally dealt with an individual’s moral choices within a life-time, or as ONE lived one’s life. Now, the demand of “sustainable practices” cuts against the assumed or meta-level individualism within prior moral reasoning. Perhaps “the afterlife” increasingly will become a doomsday reference used by people who want to ensure there will be some kind of sustainable LIFE here, at least for others, after their own personal death.
It is also interesting to ask if the commoner on the street has a scientific orientation or does your average secular person still kinda have a religious orientation, one focused on the promise of technology.

Clearly, technology is not science, and many people who demand and want technology have no scientific orientation. If we actually look at people’s practices, they mostly value individual or personal freedom.

Kevin Montgomery [CEO, Intelesense Technologies]
Abstract:
Never before in the history of mankind has our ability to acquire data about our planet and its inhabitants been so prolific. Data from in-situ sensors deployed worldwide, human-generated data (surveys, land use patterns, etc), and satellite imagery and remote sensing data have produced an enormous amount of information totaling in the hundreds of gigabytes per day. This data, coupled with the broad ubiquity of the Internet has led to an unprecedented wealth of information available at every desktop. However, while each group or project may be an expert in their own area of focus and thus develop data and knowledge in their field, the environment is inherently integrated with the climate effecting the soil and oceans, the plants and animals reacting to their ecological context, and all related to a humankind that is both affected by, as well as an agent of change, of their environment. What if it were possible to integrate all the information that has ever been collected and to make it freely and easily available, within an environment that allowed one to browse this information regardless of source or format, integrate it across all fields of study and to visualize it interactively, collaboratively, quickly and easily? Such a tool could allow the climatologist to examine their interrelation with the biologist, ecologist, and other environmental researchers, as well as the epidemiologist and others related to humankind.

The first sequence of an individual human genome presented by Dr. Jonathan M. Rothberg to James Watson in May 2007.

Dr. Rothberg is the father of Next-Generation sequencing and the founder of 454. In this ceremony Dr. Rothberg presented to Dr. Watson his genome, the first individual human genome (as documented by public release on the entire genome on the world wide web), and the first individual human genome ever done on a chip. Dr. Rothberg was also responsible for the development of emulsion PCR, and clone free shot-gun library preparations that have made next generation sequencing a reality.
