Ethics is a vital aspect to consider in the field of science. There exists a correlation between scientific cognizance and moral obligations for action. Morality is characterized as the methodical examination of standards and values in human behavior (Briggle & Mitcham, 2012). It is an essential element in science where ethical principles should lead investigations, and this is where ethical criteria play a crucial role.
