Ethics is not routinely taught to science students except in medicine, and I think it should be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
At the end of the day, if there are truly ethical considerations, those have to override scientific considerations.
Education is the art of making man ethical.
Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to establish truth. And upon this truth morality can be built.
Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life.
I think ethics is always there; it's not always a very thoughtful or reflective ethics.
Ethics are pre-determined and a matter of discovery, not a evolved concept.
We're coming down to an extremely unethical society. Very few colleges offer courses in ethics, and very few companies have a code of conduct or code of ethics.
My personal conviction is that science is concerned wholly with truth, not with ethics.
I don't favour ethics classes being an alternative to special religious education classes.
