The helicity flip of a spin-${\textstyle \frac{1}{2}}$ Dirac particle
interacting gravitationally with a scalar field is analyzed in the context of
linearized quantum gravity. It is shown that massive fermions may have their
helicity flipped by gravity, in opposition to massless fermions which preserve
their helicity.
