This is Volume 2 of a selection of studies in Applied Ethics focusing on ethical issues in scientific research in aid to support students when applying ethics to their research training courses.

The need for these courses expresses the recognition that the ethical dimensions of various types of scientific research greatly affect the general population and therefore require serious study and debate.

This collection of essays addresses the major areas of moral debate regarding research: fraud and deception, controlled experiments on humans, animal and genetic research, IQ and military research.

The essays collected here represent the best efforts to date of philosophers and scientists to grapple with these interesting and difficult issues.
