Nowadays, science and technology is influencing the world in every aspects including people's thinking patterns, notions, and life styles. As a result, scientific research has been more and more important in the human society. Undoubtedly, it has advancing the world. Yet, with the development of science and technology, some problems have occurred, such as the problem of scientific morality. This problem becomes increasingly notable. The loss of scientific morality leads to environmental pollution, resource abuse, high-tech crimes, large-scale antipersonnel weapon making, as well as plagiarism. However, the loss of scientific morality doesn't result from science and technology itself but result from desire for benefits, stress of competition, irrational exploitation of resources, and unreasonable and even illegal use of scientific achievements. As a matter of fact, it is brought about by human value crisis and human spiritual crisis. In brief, the loss of scientific morality is represented in diverse forms and caused by complex factors.
