Yet another iconic figure has fallen to the natural course of life. Michael Crichton was one of my favourite authors, and probably can be seen as the person whose writings have influence me to consciously remind myself that science with no ethics or morals is a dangerous science. Being a person of science and medicine, Crichton was in the position where he could use fiction as a vehicle to convey the dangers of amoral science, in a way that is more convincing than one who is not a person of science.
That said, we've lost another good science fiction writer. Rest in peace, Michael.
