I would argue that your premise that science and ethics are mutually exclusive (they must be if you can say good&#x2F;bad for science <i>but</i> good&#x2F;bad for ethics) is completely, utterly false.<p>science := 1) the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment; 2) a systematically organized body of knowledge on a particular subject<p>ethics := 1) moral principles that govern a person&#x27;s or group&#x27;s behavior; 2) the branch of knowledge that deals with moral principles<p>To take an either or approach to endeavors which touch on both science and ethics is to immediately set out with a means to ends vs ends to means approach depending on where one&#x27;s priorities lie.<p>I&#x27;d argue that ethics is pervasive and pertinent across every and all human endeavors, including ethics, and that the task is to work the scientific process in an ethical manner. <i>Not</i> to put the two at odds.
