400 years ago, the science started the organic course. Until next first half century, the essential target of scientific system establishment expands the proof unmistakable knowledge, the core spirit of the scientific community's social norm guarantees scientific knowledge objectively, the essence of this norm is one prepare ethics norm. Along with the social function of the science sticking out increasingly, the goal of scientific system establishment has changed for the humanity and its the survival environment and seeked the biggest welfare, the science has become one important social division of labor, for this, the scientific kingdom has newly launched to built the science professional ethics construction. This new construction give the proper attention to both science seeking knowledge and the social function,which takes objective fair and the public benefit first as its ethics principle , thus has formed one new ethics norm which inside science activity.The process of scientific system establishment is also the process of science moving towards specialized and occupational. The science as one kind of the occupation forming from social division of labor, naturally has its social responsibility which it cannot be shirked. The science organic primary responsibility should be correctly effectively exercises inherits, creates and spreads the demonstration of scientific knowledge, returns society's support and trust. But this responsibility exercising, inevitably involves the assuming an occupational ethics norm question.The occupational ethics norm is producted from the social division of labor, and also performanced the benefit of main body separately. In the process of formulating concrete science professional ethics criterion, the process and the consequence of the scientific research obtained a more thorough consideration, many specialized academic societies have all formulated an extremely exhaustive professional ethics criterion, and have made the extremely specific stipulation to the scientist and the society, the employer, accepted the science experiment the person, the public and same business's relations. These stipulations transmit an important information, which the freedom of scientific research is not absolute, the science activity must observe the certain game rule.The basic ethics principle of science activity should develope the science social norm ethically .The science activity has two basic ethics principles, namely science activity objective fair-- principle and public benefit priority --principle.At the human ethics practice and phylogeny angle, we can see, many ethics question which initiated by the modern science and technology activity and the bitter experience is the human ethics practice extending necessarily. The modern science and technology is not only one kind of materiality practice, but also a development of society ethics experiment.The Science and technology which unanticipated state move forward, and infiltrate in our life , make our life we lived formerly to be more complex thanbefore. The ethics question refered by modern science and technology activity, manifested the technical behavior responsibility as the goal, the question territory has launched brand-new extending to many stratification planes, including from individual ethics extending to group ethics and collective ethics; From faith ethics to responsibility ethics extending; From autonomy ethics to structure ethics extending; From nearly from ethics to long-distance range ethics extending, how simultaneously appropriately exercises the authority, fulfills its responsibility, also becomes ethics question which the traditional society has not had. That is, the technical development is the new ethics question which brings to the human rights promotion.The technical activity as one kind of social ethics experiment not only enable ethics question which has to obtain the unprecedented development, moreover has initiated the traditional ethics and between technical development reality many conflicts, including: Technical activity and traditional value idea conflict and traditional value idea pattern and technical time complex ethics reality conflict. The development of modern science and technology has caused the science and technology to become omnipresent factor in the human society and its the environment, the stratification which technical ethics involved also therefore obtains the unceasing development: Among technical common in vivo member in ethics question, technical society interpersonal ethics question, technical time culture border ethics question, technical time person and natural ethics relations, have unfolded the technical ethics new dimension .Through the technical value loading and its process reconsidering, we can see, technical and ethics,this two kinds of factors benign interaction, appears especially importantly to achieve its practice goal - to benefit the humanity and its the survival environment.
