In GCSE Biology, the term 'ethical' refers to understanding what is right and wrong when it comes to scientific practices and experiments. It involves thinking about the impact of scientific work on living things, including humans, animals, and the environment, and making sure that any research or experiments are done in a fair and responsible way. This includes treating animals humanely, ensuring humans give consent before participating in experiments, and considering how scientific advances can affect society. Ethical science seeks to benefit the world while respecting the rights and welfare of all living things.
