Abstract
This chapter begins by examining various reasons why scientists should study ethics. Such teaching might heighten the ethical sensitivity of scientists, might increase their ethical knowledge, might improve their ethical judgements or might make them morally better people. I then go on to consider what sort of ethics scientists, particularly those who are likely to work with animals, should study, examining the possibilities of fundamental issues of ethics, ethics that arises especially in consideration of animals and appropriate professional codes of ethics. Finally, I look some possible ways in which ethics might be learnt by scientists, examining advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
