| 3.7.1 J | Funding | "Scientific research is funded by society, either through public funding or through private companies that obtain their income from commercial activities. Scientists have a duty to consider ethical issues associated with their findings. Individual scientists have ethical codes that are often based on humanistic, moral and religious beliefs. Scientists are self-regulating and contribute to decision-making about what investigations and methodologies should be permitted.
Candidates will be able to appreciate how science and society interact. They should examine how science has provided solutions to problems but that the solutions require society to form judgements as to whether the solution is acceptable in view of moral issues that result. Issues such as the effects on the planet, and the economic and physical well being of the living things on it should be considered." | 4 |
