Ethics is a branch of philosophy, not a branch of science (although scientists can still strive to be ethical).

What is ethics of science?

Ethics is a branch of philosophy, not a branch of science (although scientists can still strive to be ethical).


Why is ethics a science?

Ethics is usually a discussion in philosophy. However there is the interdisciplinary study of the philosophy of science, which has a branch that deals with ethics in science. Though not often noticed ethics is BEHIND science. Ethics is not science, it is the base of science. All the basics of Western Ethics are 1 to 1 copied to 'science'. The very basic of western ethics is presuming a mind body split. That means that PER DEFINITION reality is seen as sum of immaterial things (metaphysics) and material things (physics). Immaterial things are 'soul', 'mind', 'consciousness', 'understanding'. This assumption when related to 'soul' and 'spirit' is often called 'creationism'. Believing in 'consciousness', 'understanding', .. is not different at all, but now called 'rationalism'
