Father Verspieren asked to be "seriously prudent" in communicating the results of scientific research to the public opinion: "One must be plain but not restrictive, without hiding anything. But above all one should not let in any dangerous ideology that tries to reduce man to an object, to deny the equal dignity of all human beings. This can lead to much abuse and lots of negative repercussions on man’s life". The Jesuit father mentioned, as an aberrant example, some statements made by a lecturer of Princeton University, that the life of a disabled man is worth less than that of a healthy man. "Some scientists like to show off in the eyes of the public opinion he denounced , not least because in this way they get money to fund their research". In addition, father Verspieren spoke of research in "bad chromosomes", which would be used to detect "evil" people. "Behind this is the ideology of a superior race he explained and the assumption that all human qualities are biological and inherited. In the attempt to prevent society degenerating or even neutering the poor in spirit". Hence the invitation to scientists and communicators to be prudent in reporting about such delicate issues. Because, he highlighted, "science has the absolute duty to respect human dignity".
