Science is a menace to civilization

I agree to the stand of text A, more than text B. I agree to text A more, as it shows the aftermath or rather the reality that is pictured after all the technology is introduced into the civilization. I have two takes for this mainly, the aftermath of medical science and the irony of the phrase stated in text B,"Beauty of science".
I do not agree with the stand of text B as they stated that medical science have contributed largely to the human race, advances in medicine have led to pasteurisation, vaccination, antibiotics, anaesthetics, the obliteration of smallpox, transplant surgery, genetic engineering and many more life-saving discoveries. However, to what extend is this life saving issue viable? From many previous incidents of suicide cases were due to the over dosage of insomnia pills. Not only are there suicide, cases, medical science also introduced the number killer of all times, drugs. Drugs have been a hassle to the currently society, not have it enticed people to go crazy about it, it has also took away the lives of many people and it created lots of extra jobs for the people in the court to do. What's the purpose of all these drugs? To hang people for trafficking them and to kill people who get addicted to them? Thus is it true that medical science have improved our society? Or has it rather caused turmoil and chaos in our nation.
I do not agree with the statement stated in text B, "Beauty of science". Firstly, I would like to question the viability of the term beauty of science, does science even have a beautiful side? Or is it just a facade? I would like to site two examples. Firstly, from text A , they stated that technology gave us a more fulfilled and happy life styles, but have we ever thought how much they took away from us? Text A , also states that technology have been robbing us off our skills and this is true, as the aid of technology is just crippling human as humans are lazy in nature and will always find the easy way out, thus the introduction will not benefit the human population but instead harm the population. Another example is GM food which is largely advertised in the world of science. It is very efficient enabling faster plant growth and cases like that. However, the after effects of these benefits is shocking, GM food is not at all beneficial to the human body as it contains high amounts of pesticide and harms the human body.
Thus, from these two stands we can exactly see the menace and harm that it has imposed on our civilization, not benefiting us in many ways.
