Man is an animal with primary instincts of survival.
Consequently, his ingenuity has developed first and his soul afterwards. Thus the progress of science is far ahead of man's ethical behavior. An act has no ethical quality whatever unless it be chosen out of several all equally possible. Responsibilities Recent examples of scientific misconduct have been reported in the popular press. Govt agencies are guided by their directors and advisory boards, but are responsible to Congress, so government policies have general influence on this research.
