Simple. I will summarize pages of benefits that we can
offer humanity in this one sentence: We give them back
their "original face", that society has robbed them
of, one tiny bit at a time.

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science [...] Believing as I do that man in the distant future will be a far more perfect creature than he now is, it is an intolerable thought that he and all other sentient beings are doomed to complete annihilation after such long-continued slow progress"
