Opposing information from boffins causing moral sensitivity? (10)
I believe the answer is:
conscience
'moral sensitivity?' is the definition.
(sensitivity to right and wrong)
'opposing information from boffins' is the wordplay.
'opposing' becomes 'con' (I've seen this in another clue).
'information from boffins' becomes 'science' (boffin can mean a scientist).
'con'+'science'='CONSCIENCE'
'causing' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for conscience that I've seen before include "having moral standards" , "morals" , "Sense of morality" , "Inner voice" , "Sense of moral correctness" .)
