Summary/Abstract: Science as a human activity relates to different human values, and therefore it is capable of ethic valuation, both for its consequences, as for its process and its action. For this reason, ethics cannot be separated from the scientific analysis, as the inherited conception pretended. It is necessary to research and know the different reasons of scientists to carry out some research or other. Scientific practice is social responsibility, and a scientific should not adopted behaviours contrary to that responsibility, because it can produce unintended consequences. This article aims to analyse how in the scientific activity the ethic should be the main thing
