Question ID:PT54 S2 Q12 Passage:Ethicist: Although science is frequently said to be morally neutral, it has a traditional value system of its own. For example, scientists sometimes foresee that a line of theoretical research they are pursuing will yield applications that could seriously harm people, animals, or the environment. Yet, according to science's traditional value system, such consequences do not have to be considered in deciding whether to pursue that research. Ordinary morality, in contrast, requires that we take the foreseeable consequences of our actions into account whenever we are deciding what to do. Stem:The ethicist's statements, if true, most strongly support which one of the following?  Correct Answer Choice:DChoice A:Scientists should not be held responsible for the consequences of their research.  Choice B:According to the dictates of ordinary morality, scientists doing research that ultimately turns out to yield harmful applications are acting immorally. Choice C:Science is morally neutral because it assigns no value to the consequences of theoretical research.  Choice D:It is possible for scientists to both adhere to the traditional values of their field and violate a principle of ordinary morality. Choice E:The uses and effects of scientifically acquired knowledge can never be adequately foreseen.
