> "What good has come from the advances in science?"
You're typing this on a computer, aren't you?
You haven't died of smallpox or diptheria have you?
Have you ever had an operation? Did you require anaesthesia? Antibiotics?
Are you wearing any clothes which contain synthetic fibres?
Does your home contain any electrically-powered appliances?
> "Why is science so dangerous?"
Science is simply a method of rationally investigating the universe by empirical experiment and observation. It is no more or less dangerous than any other tool humanity uses.
> "Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications?"
Of course not.
> "Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances?"
Yes – but it is important that they should.
Any actions of humans – whether scientific or anything else – should always be weighed against morality.
> "What is worth sacrificing in the advances of science?"
That depends what the particular study is setting-out to acheive, and what their odds of success are.
> "What possible outcomes can come from science in the future?"
This isn't possible to know. But we can hope for quite a few things (new treatments for bacterial and viral infection, new crops to solve the food crisis, alternative energy sources for power-generation, etc.)

Since you are applying for an education institution you must emphasize on how much this fellowship helps you in the learning process. You might want to correlate your educational background with the current research going on in their institute. Tell them how much you are interested in knowing things of your interest at advanced level and how their institute had been providing that for all young aspirants.
They don't care if this experience would help you to get into a med school or whatever but if you could tell good things about the institute such as an advanced equipment that is only of it's kind in the entire continent of north america, something that you have noticed from their website or heard from a person who actually works there.
I believe it's a genuine answer and I hope it helps.
