Scientific methods are usually applied to questions in any of the physical sciences, where it is possible to observe natural phenomena of various kinds and to make hypotheses about how systems work. For most sciences, tests can be constructed that 'control' one or more of the variables observed so that inferences can be made about how the control of these variables has affected the variable of interest. Direct experimentation is not possible in fields like astronomy, but with very sophisticated means of observing the heavens, important knowledge can be gained.
One aspect of scientific method is that once a hypothesis is made, one can begin asking questions about how the truth or falsity of the hypothesis will affect other parts of the system, and observing those parts then refutes or gives support to the hypothesis. Even though astronomy does not easily lend itself to experimentation, this concept of hypothesis testing is still a very powerful astronomical tool. Or you can ignore all of that because the answer you are looking for is bioethical. :]
Science can only answer questions of the phenomenal universe, meaning those phenomena that can be observed and subjected to testing and possible falsification. Science cannot address the supernatural since, by definition, the supernatural goes beyond the natural world and is not subject to the laws and theories determined by science. Science also cannot address metaphysical questions since, also by definition, these questions address matters beyond those that can be subject to scientific scrutiny.
Science can only answer questions about the physical world.

Why can science solve some questions but not others?
We do not know for certain what questions cannot ever be answered by science; we can certainly say which questions have not yet been answered by science, but we do not know what new information may be obtained by scientific research in the future. However, some types of problems do seem to be more amenable to scientific enquiry than others. Science has a particular method, based on observation and logical analysis. This is an excellent method for many types of problems, but perhaps not for all types of problems. Some things may depend more on feelings than on logical analysis.

What kinds of questions cant be answered by science?
Questions that ask about opinions can't be answered with science. As a teacher, I have students rephrase their question more specifically so that it can be answered by science. Their proposed answer to the question is their hypothesis. This is why science cannot demonstrate religion as a hoax, as much as atheists would like to believe it. Unfortunately for believers, science cannot demonstrate the truth of religion either. Religion is one of those regions beyond the pale of science.
