Reflexions upon Science

Science and Responsibility
Summary
Do scientific honesty, methodological proceeding and explanation come up to the expectations of responsible scientific conduct? Do hierarchical organisation, given limits, and objectivity excuse us from responsibility? If so, are ethic committees and consumers able to take responsibility? This proves too much for them, so scientists act responsibly when they explore the consequences by viewing them in their entirety and when they publish their results in a comprehensible way, in the form of "medical indication texts" but what is more, in the form of comprehensible dialogues with society.
