Science & Medical Ethics

📋 What it is

Science ethics sets rules — like consent and safety — so discovery never harms the people or animals involved.

🗣️ Coach says

New knowledge is great, but not at any cost. Science ethics asks: did people agree (consent)? Is it safe? Is it fair? Powerful discovery needs guardrails so it helps without hurting.

🧠 Memory hook

Discovery needs guardrails: consent, safety, fairness.

What did justice say to mercy?
"We don't always agree, but the world needs both of us!"

😲 Whoa!

Modern medical research requires "informed consent" — people must understand and agree before taking part.
