Just doing their jobs? Scientific responsibilty from nuclear physics to genetic engineering

The question of whether scientists shoud be considered responsible for the application of their research has been a controversial one, both within the scientific community and broader society. Taking examples from atomic physics and genetic engineering, "Just doing their jobs?" considers scientific responsibility across a range of applications, in the midst of both positive and negative consequences of scientific research. "Just doing their jobs?" offers a challenge for scientists to assume responsibilty for subsequent applications of their research, and offers strategies for responding to this moral ownership in a way that respects their roles in both science and in society.
