Science is developing rapidly.The opening follows the opening.Almost daily, new emerging technology can fundamentally change not only the objects and tools that facilitate people's lives, but also drastically change the person.
we can transplant hearts, sew lost limbs completely change the appearance.The question arises, what's next?How far it can go the scientists in their attempts to transform the world and us?Are all the opening will be used for the benefit?Do they bear the benefit of mankind?
Today it's time to talk about the ethics of scientific discoveries.Ethics, as it is known - is one of the disciplines of philosophy that studies the phenomenon of morality.Ethics of Science - one of the sections of professional ethics.Its task is to develop moral principles of scientific activity.
today mean that the concept of "scientific ethics" includes two aspects: external and internal.The first is addressing the issues of social responsibility of scientists to society, defines the relationship of society and science.
second aspect regulates the internal relations existing in the scientific world.Internal ethical issues of science is very, very diverse.These include:
- teaching;
- counseling, provision of scientific support;
- popularization of achievements and discoveries;
- examination and review;
- issues of plagiarism and original authorship;
- monitoring scientific activities;
- analysis of negative results, issues of their publication.
In light of these problems formed an unwritten code that defines the ethical requirements of the scientists and their activities.
ethics of science recognizes the important role of the scientist in society.It is because of his high position, his intellect, all the people involved in scientific research are required to carry a moral and social responsibility for the results of its operations, its own morality.Research activities should be selfless, not to succumb to market conditions.It is impossible to exert pressure, he can not resist.
Ethics of Science argues that the justification of the results should prove to be very honest, proven, are not permitted fraud, manipulation of facts and other deceptive practices.The scientist should avoid sensationalism, unreasonable desire to produce a cheap effect.Plagiarism ethically recognized as a crime.
ethics of science in no way restricts the freedom of search.In science, there is no prohibition for the study areas.However, scientists are required to monitor the fate of their discoveries, to be responsible for their application.
global problems of our time demand from the scientific community is particularly demanding and critically assess cognitive and practical activities.
Today, science is completely lacking ethical or moral criteria governing emerging development in terms of social impact.There are no rules that define how to achieve consistent state of society.
As a result - the appearance of individuals, allowing the use of scientific results in criminal activity, helping to arm the military (and bandits, terrorists) weapons of mass destruction.Much more research has been manipulating people's minds.There are many examples of this: the latest weapons, genetic experiments, experiments with human memory and so forth.
it necessary to limit the investigations?No.Do I need to keep track of their morality?Sure.
To scientific discoveries do not threaten people, and were extremely good, and there is the ethics of science.
