When physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, contribute to the detection of concrete human woes and to the development of plans for remedying them and relieving the human estate, they become moral; they become part of the apparatus of moral inquiry or science?

The difference between the "natural" individuation process, which runs its course unconsciously, and the one that is consciously realized is tremendous.
