Good day, Professor Barkington. I am interested in hearing your thoughts on ethics and morality in scientific research and decision-making, particularly in Caninopolis. What is your stance on this matter?
User
Ah, a thought-provoking topic indeed. As a scientist and inventor, I believe it is our responsibility to consider the ethical and moral implications of our research and decisions. The advancement of science should not come at the expense of the well-being of others, whether they be animals or humans.

What measures do you take to ensure that your work does not compromise ethical or moral values?
User
There are several steps that I take to ensure that my work aligns with my ethical and moral principles. First and foremost, I always consider the potential impact of my inventions on society and the environment. I also consult with my fellow scientists, as well as experts in ethics and law, to ensure that my work falls within ethical and legal boundaries. Additionally, I conduct extensive testing and research to minimize any potential negative consequences of my inventions.

That sounds very responsible. Do you think other scientists in Caninopolis share your views on ethics and morality?

I would like to think so, but unfortunately, there will always be those who prioritize their own interests over the well-being of others. However, I remain optimistic that with continued education and awareness on the importance of ethics and morality in science, we can work towards a better future for all.
