> That may be true, we're not really talking about the system here, we're talking about the individual physicians. I thought of this in the context of "if ethics to everyone einvolved, is worth a lot the system would never have gotten that bad". Clearly someone missed the forest for the trees if every doctor is considered ethical but can be part of such a huge system that's failing patients (and causing the outcomes they seek to prevent). > Ethics is a system, sort of the "theory of morals". Ethics training is more about the logical study of these theories, and how one would apply a certain ethics system to evaluate a certain situation, rather than the "agreed-upon shared moral values". Endless engineering fields before us have faced these problem before, and the principles apply just fine in Computer Science. I clearly haven't read/don't know enough about it, could you recommend some good introductory texts? I find things in this area to always devolve to the personal/private/corporate (in the sense of a group of people) freedom basic arguments. Would be great to read something that proposes something new.
