In Science and Ethics, Bernard Rollin examines the ideology that
denies the relevance of ethics to science. Providing an introduction
to basic ethical concepts, he discusses a variety of ethical issues
that are relevant to science and how they are ignored, to the
detriment of both science and society. These include research on human
subjects, animal research, genetic engineering, biotechnology,
cloning, xenotransplantation, and stem cell research. Rollin also
explores the ideological agnosticism that scientists have displayed
regarding subjective experience in humans and animals, and its
pernicious effect on pain management. Finally, he articulates the
implications of the ideological denial of ethics for the practice of
science itself in terms of fraud, plagiarism, and data falsification.
In engaging prose and with philosophical sophistication, Rollin
cogently argues in favor of making education in ethics part and parcel
of scientific training.
