Una volta superati i "sermoni retorici", che da più parti si fanno sulla pericolosità della scienza, e quando siano stabiliti i confini tra la conoscenza scientifica e le sue applicazioni tecnologiche, si capisce meglio l'indipendenza della scienza dalla questione etica del bene e del male. Ciò tuttavia non comporta – sostiene la Vassallo – l'aver già risolto tutti i problemi che sono legati alla tecnologia, anche nelle sue ricadute sul corpo femminile, né si può dire superata la necessità di ricordare che l'aspirazione al conoscere rientra nella stessa costituzione dell'essenza umana. Tornare a chiedersi che cos'è la scienza serve piuttosto a limitare il ruolo dei valori non epistemici, che possono al limite entrare nel contesto della ricerca, ma non in quello della giustificazione razionale della verità scientifica.
