The "ethics" aspect came from the conduct of the engineers behind Therac that did not take the reports of malfunctions seriously, including a fatality - they were too overconfident and arrogant - as a result it took 2 more people to die, and many more seriously injured, before the problem was identified and fixed. We also covered other ethics-related case-studies that covered project-mismanagement leading to massive cost-overruns, especially of public-service projects - particularly when those overruns are caused by malfeasance instead of incompetence or ever-changing client requirements (e.g. embezzlement, fraudulent conduct, etc). Another one was the ethics of personal data collection.
