Should physics students take a course in ethics? - Physicists respond

A survey was conducted of a subset of the physics community in order to gai n insight into attitudes towards integrating ethics into the physics curric ulum. The results indicated significant support among some groups for such an integration yet also revealed significant barriers to this process. Resp ondents were also asked to suggest topics which should be covered under the heading of ethical issues in physics. The great variety of results indicat es both that there are many issues worth investigating and that many in the physics community have given a great deal of thought to these issues.
