"The Veldt" theme

The theme of the story "The Veldt" is sometimes just because you can make some technology doesn’t mean you should due to ethical reasons. In the story one quote that supports this theme is "His wife paused in the middle of the kitchen and watched the stove busy humming to itself making supper for four." Another quote that backs up my theme is "But I thought that's why we bought this house, so we wouldn't have to do anything?". These quotes support my theme because even though they could make a stove which can hum, and cook by itself. However, this is unethical because it makes the kids feel like their parents do nothing for them. This theme is especially relevant today because new technology is constantly coming up, but we must ask is it ethical. For example stem cells are a new form of technology that has not yet been fully put into play because some people feel it is unethical.
