Abstract

In this paper, by examining the idea of a 'Hippocratic Oath for scientists', promoted by Sir Joseph Rotblat, oaths for medical professionals and scientists and the definitions and relationships of different moral norms such as oaths, codes and guidelines, we propose an oath for bioscientists with justifications based on professional and organizational ethics.
