Some people say that science is morally neutral, but science has its own traditional value system. For example, scientists can sometimes predict that their research will have harmful consequences. However, science’s traditional value system holds that these consequences aren't relevant when deciding what to research. In contrast, ordinary morality would require considering the foreseeable consequences when deciding what to do.
Sometimes science's traditional value system yields a conflicting judgement of what someone should do, compared to ordinary morality.
