Seriously, who is claiming that scientists should not take ethics into consideration while they do research?

It's more that humans specialise. Scientist and moral philosopher aren't always the same person.

Moral philosophers hopefully aren't the only people who take ethics into account when deciding what to do.

Some data suggests they make roughly the same ethical choices everyone else does.
