      The only ‘controversial’ things (but controversial outside of the world of science) that go on at the ICR are animal testing and, I think, stem cell research. But I would say that most other scientists have no moral objection to these things.

      Science ethics are extremely important, and strict checks are kept upon what scientists do, and how they do it. Have a look here for more information:

      Yes, I think so. The kind of work that I do is not usually controversial – most people are happy that it is being done.

      Yes, no other scientists have ever had any problems with the morals of my work.
