Engineers have a certain line that they will not, cannot cross. Doctors work the same way. While the romantic in me would like to believe this, there are too many counterexamples out there for me to just accept this generalization.

As a consequence they have to take extra steps (like always letting everyone know about these codes of ethics) to maintain trust.
