I got the impression it was more like science will save us if we keep improving the breed.
This was common in the 50s when science was giving us neat new shit to buy. Then we found out not everything they gave us was cool.
Corporations weren't going to take the heat so they teamed up with lawyers to blame scientists, and for good measure the schools the scientists attended.

Scientist ~ I invented a paint that will dry in half the time.

Science/Mechanix Magazine ~ Scientist invents instant dry paint which will allow JQ Public to change his house color instantly. Better make you house numbers bigger, so you can find it, in case the little woman changes color for her bridge party.

JQ Public ~ Hey this here paint don't work like S/M Magazine said. Must be the scientist fellas fault.
