Ethics in science range from issues of authorship to issues of life and death. What was once common practice and commonly regarded as sound science is now recognized as profoundly unjust and even sometimes murderous! In this course we will explore the gamut of ethical issues in science and debate the merits of each. From the chromosomal double helix to Tuskegee, we will explore the past challenges of scientific ethics, how the issues were viewed in the past and how they are currently regarded.
