The teaching of ethics in science is ever more important in current global society where the products and
byproducts of science and their uses and applications threaten our very existence, and impose upon our psyche,
fundamental questioning of our own worth and value as intelligent and compassionate beings. Science has long become
the superior lord over man’s mind and bodily compositions as we have nurtured the subject to dominate us and suppress
the archetypal primitive nature, while antonymically and oxymoronically representing the powers of birth and death;
creation and destruction over us. Our ethics and sense of sensibility and values have been so misshapen and relativized by
science and scientific knowledge and ideals, that the very dimension of human conscience has been damaged beyond the
scope of the “classical mad scientist” and has become the caricature and harbinger of confusion, death, disaster, fear,
sickness and even hopelessness. Ethics is part of the philosophical tradition of care and caring that regulates the
boundaries of human venture into the darker outcomes and application of science. It speaks to the human conscience and
teaches us how to use the knowledge and fruits of science to create and cure rather than to destroy and devour with
hostility. Science without ethics is science without social responsibility, and we have time and again seen how a lack of
social responsibility displayed by both professionals and corporations has negatively impacted individuals and society in
varied and many ways. Educational institutions teaching science must make greater efforts to make “Science Ethics” an
important and mandatory course for science majors. Specifically defined, Science Ethics (Ethics in Science, Ethics and
Science) or Applied Science Ethics as it could be called, deals with teaching socially responsible actions by exploring
moral and ethical dilemma in the application of science knowledge, stakeholder considerations and scientific protocols
relative to the profession and discipline of science based on various ethical paradigms.
