ethical science
Morally guided inquiry
Ethical science is scientific practice conducted with moral responsibility—respecting human subjects, avoiding harm, maintaining honesty in data and methods.
The phrase often appears in discussions of research guidelines: The committee ensures all studies meet standards of ethical science.
It can also describe science directed toward beneficial ends rather than destructive ones.
