The atom bomb and still more the hydrogen bomb have caused new fears, involving new
doubts as to the effects of science on human life. Some eminent authorities, including Einstein,
have pointed out that there is a danger of extinction of all life on Earth. I do not myself think
that this will happen in the next war, but I think it may well happen in the next one but , if that
is allowed to occur. If this expectation is correct, we have to choose within the next fifty years
or so, between two alternatives. Either we must allow the human race to exterminate itself, or
we must forgo certain liberties which are very dear to us.
