More quotes by Robert Winston
It is important that legislation keeps pace with scientific progress.
Robert Winston
I love the French detective series 'Spiral.' It's quite brutal to watch, but I'm already hooked.
Robert Winston
However pragmatic you are, it is very demanding being a new parent.
Robert Winston
By discovering how our minds work, we can improve our learning power and unlock our true potential.
Robert Winston
You can now modify the genes of large animals, and the largest animal we are concerned with is the human.
Robert Winston
We are more dependent on science and engineering than at any other time in history. However, there is plenty of evidence that far too many people are scientifically illiterate, often having been put off science at school.
Robert Winston
There were never any doctors in my family. But my grandparents and my mother had a strong social conscience that was formative.
Robert Winston
Childhood is not dead. Children were worse off when we were hunter-gatherers they were threatened in medieval times and exploited during the Industrial Revolution. Was it any better in the time of Charles Kingsley or Charles Dickens?
Robert Winston
I don't much like being a public figure, because so often how people appear is not how they really are, and I think one of the issues about our society is that we make judgments about people on the basis of very flimsy evidence.
Robert Winston
I don't believe the fertilised egg can be equated with the sort of human life that you and I represent, or our children represent.
Robert Winston
Ethics is not routinely taught to science students except in medicine, and I think it should be.
Robert Winston
That Britain today is a liberal society is largely because of the philosophy and outlook of the Anglican Church, which did so much to shape our core values in the past few centuries.
Robert Winston
You can't be judgmental about babies. They are all have different needs. I was left with an enduring hatred of cheese because it was forced down me when I was young.
Robert Winston
I think it's important for scientists to be a bit less arrogant, a bit more humble, recognising we are capable of making mistakes and being fallacious - which is increasingly serious in a society where our work may have unpredictable consequences.
Robert Winston
Robots may cut down on infection and mean a consultant can see more patients, but wouldn't you rather meet the doctor than a machine?
Robert Winston
I don't know whether it is important to study science at a young age, though current thinking emphasises the need.
Robert Winston
Now we have technology where we can modify the genomics of individuals by gene transfer and genetic meddling, we may find that people will want to modify their children, enhance their intelligence, their strength and their beauty and all the other so-called desirable characteristics.
Robert Winston
Animal rights activists talk about cruelty and torture, some backing their assertions by publishing out-of-date photographs of experiments banned long ago. This is a misrepresentation. The work we do is performed with compassion, care, humanity and humility. I have never seen an animal suffer pain.
Robert Winston
We must not fail to recognise that television can be a hugely positive influence in children's lives, one of the greatest educators in contemporary society and an increasing influence on all the children followed in 'Child of Our Time.'
Robert Winston
Women of child-bearing age steadily run out of eggs by the continuous process of cell death. While reading a copy of the Guardian carefully from cover to cover, a normal woman will have lost on average two eggs - while, typically, a normal man will have made 70,000 new sperm.
