Moral doubts (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scruples

(Other definitions for scruples that I've seen before include "Doubts or hesitations promted by conscience" , "Doubts about the morality of an action" , "Doubts stemming from conscience or principles" , "Feelings of doubt arising from conscience" , "Feelings of doubt produced by conscience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
