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.

Modern medical research requires "informed consent" — people must understand and agree before taking part.
✅ Quick check: Why do scientists need ethical rules like consent and safety checks?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
So the search for new knowledge doesn’t harm the people or animals involved — discovery must be safe, fair, and agreed to.
Science ethics shows powerful tools need responsible limits.
