RAEL\u2019S COMMENT:<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
And he is absolutely right! Because it\u2019s moral and ethical values that will push humanity to finally destroy nuclear weapons.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Humanity is entering a new stage in its development when abandoning moral and ethical values may cause a larger catastrophe than a nuclear war, Russian President Vladimir Putin told the guests of the 19th World Festival of Youth and Students in Sochi.<\/p>\n

The moral and ethical component is an \u201cimportant circumstance\u201d for any type of activity in modern society, Putin told the young scientists at the festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the nearest future, humanity may enter and will, most likely, enter a very difficult and important period in its development and existence,\u201d he said, referring to recent scientific breakthroughs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019ve said now may be more dangerous than a nuclear bomb. Therefore, no matter what we\u2019re doing, we must never forget about the moral and ethical basis of our business,\u201d the president reiterated.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything that we\u2019ll be doing must benefit the people and empower humanity, not destroy it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Putin used genetic engineering as an example to illustrate his words, saying that this discipline can bring both positive and negative results.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great\u201d that it can provide the possibility to change the genetic code of people suffering from serious diseases, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there\u2019s another component to this process. Humanity also receives an opportunity to meddle with the genetic code, which was created either by nature or, as people with religious views say, God,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n

The possibility of \u201ccreating a human with predesigned characteristics\u201d is already around the corner, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt may be a genius mathematician or musician, but also a soldier, who will fight without fear, compassion and regret, without pain,\u201d\u00a0Putin warned.<\/p>\n

The head of state expressed hope that the young scientists who were presenting their projects in Sochi would take his words to heart in their future work.<\/p>\n

The 19th World Festival of Youth and Students runs until Sunday at the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi.<\/p>\n

Earlier, President Putin said that the 2017 event was expected to bring 30,000 people together, becoming the most representative in history.<\/p>\n

The festival, organized by the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) along with the International Union of Students since 1947, is being held in Russia for the third time after being staged in Moscow in 1957 and 1985.<\/p>\n
