This introduction looks at a range of ethical issues that are of interest to science and religion. As new fields of discovery open up to scientists, questions of morality are asked by society about whether we feel certain lines of scientific experiment are appropriate for us to go down. Think for a moment about the issues of cloning or of GM foods, these are issues that are on our TVs and in our newspapers all the time.
