Revise: Scientific vs non-scientific questionsMerely writing “there is an ethical issue” is not enough. State the choice or conflict. In this example, the issue could be: whether the benefit of increased food production justifies exposing people and the environment to the chemical’s possible risks.
When an ethical issue is involved, state the conflict explicitly and summarise at least two different viewpoints with reasons. Do not merely write that people disagree.
