Science and Politics

This might sound strange but I was specially interested in the role of science in the bi-lateral communication between the US and Cuba. I am personally very amused by science fiction and in how science can become part of our moral struggle and political manifestations. I consider that science can sometimes clarify or complicate -both relatively important to any sort of dialogue- the best interest of humanity.

In this sense I was surprised in how modern science -specifically in the form of artificial insemination  became a key element of the foster of a mutual agreement. I specially feel that the relationship between Cuba and the US is archaic and based in a world that was controlled by the cold war. This manifestation of science, that is unique to modern times,  produced a dramatic change in how their continued the conversation. In that sense, science helped to contributed to laws that were constructed before this scientific developments. This new resources somehow founded a loop-hole in a system that didn't spect the advancement of science. At the same time the idea of motherhood, motherland, soil and territory are ambiguously put into trial by this procedure as the place of being doesn't designate specifically a state of being.

Questions:

-How can science help in the development of other political struggles?
-How does maternity can affect the mutal understanding of completly opposite sides of an ideology?
-How - even with newer methods of reproduction- the human basic components of life (maternity, existence, personal goals) can make us realize that we are more similar than what we think?
-How can science change ideology?
