The Ethics Of Photoshop 11/01/2003 11:49 AM
Is The Blood Red Water For Real? A discuss ion on egullet, of all places, suggests at least one of these shocking pictures (inside) has been retouched. A more interesting question is: is it OK to "enhance" real evidence, if the salient facts are true? Or even, more radically, if the cause is just and dedicated to save lives or relieve suffering?

Ayn Rand on Ethics

Ayn Rand on Ethics 01/16/2004 01:02 PM

In “The Virtue of Selfishness”, Ayn Rand wrote:

Ethics is not a mystic fantasy—nor a social convention—nor a dispensable, subjective luxury. ... Ethics is an objective necessity of man’s survival—not by the grace of the supernatural nor of your neighbors nor of your whims, but by the grace of reality and the nature of life.

I wish I could write like her although her sentences often feel one size too big for me.

Google Ethics Committee 05/18/2004 04:38 PM
Ido Kenan, NRG Maariv has filed a story about Google's ethics committee. He sent us this translation: Google has an ethics committee for decisions on changes to their algorithms. The committee is comprised of Google workers "who are concerned about ethics", said Dr. Eran Gabber, a software engineer with Google, at a lecture yesterday (Monday) at the Tel Aviv University. Dr. Gabber came to Israel to recruit Computer Science students for an annual Google project, where 100 students from around the world are invited to work at Google for a 12-week period during the summer. Dr. Gabber said: "We change Pagerank when we find that spammers are abusing it, but we don't change it often. There's an internal ethics committee in Google. Internally, there are people who are concerned about ethics. In Google, there are a lot of people who find ethics important". There are photos at the original article (in Hebrew). Thanks again to Ido Kenan, NRG Maariv for this story....

Scientists Take Stock of Their Ethics

Scientists Take Stock of Their Ethics 03/28/2005 03:54 AM
Taking the old adage, invest in what you know; it would be logical to assume that those working in the life sciences would gravitate toward financial investments in the health care sector. This is not to say that “insider knowledge” is the motivating factor, but rather that if one is a scientist, one has a natural affinity for science and hence might favor “science-related” stocks.

A Bloggers' Code of Ethics
http://www.cyber journalist.net/news/000215.php

CyberJournalist.net has created a model Bloggers' Code of Ethics, by modifying the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics for the Weblog world. These are just guidelines -- in the end it is up to individual bloggers to choose their own best practices. CyberJournalist.net follows this code and urges other Weblogs to adopt this one or similar practices. Integrity is the cornerstone of credibility. Bloggers who adopt this code of principles and these standards of practice not only practice ethical publishing, but convey to their readers that they can be trusted. This will be added to my just updated Bots, Blogs and News Aggregators prsentation.

Cory Doctorow: Andre sez, "You mentioned the Government Printing Office (GPO) in an entry about applying DRM to government documents. Well, my associate Domingo and I have been on to the GPO for a while now - they have a listerv that has some suspicious stuff, such as the OGE-ETHICSINFO-L list which gives ethical advice to the executive branch, and requires you have a .gov or .mil e-mail address to join and remain a member of the list. I joined the list and dumped the contents using wget in August, and turned up some interesting stuff, such as 20040419.txt, which advises the executive branch to turn down gifts from Microsoft. We filed a FOIA request with the GPO for info on their mailing list and are awaiting a response."

It has come to OGE's attention that Microsoft Corp. is offering free promotional software valued at over $500 to IT personnel at various agencies. OGE has written Microsoft asking it to refrain from doing this, citing the implications associated with the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch. We understand that the Department of the Army also has sent a letter to Microsoft asking that these gifts cease. Please advise your IT personnel that they are prohibited from personally accepting these gifts. However, OGE does recognize that an agency may have gift acceptance authority that allows acceptance of this software by the agency for its use.

Update: Daniel sez, "Using a quick google search using the term: "inurl:listserv.*.gov" i found a hell of a lot more (54k hits). some intresting stuff on there, weird what you can find on goverment sites. Some mailman ones as well.

US Doctors Want Mobile Phones In
Hospitals Too 09/27/2004 11:27 AM
While we've already written about doctors in the UK saying hospital bans on mobile phones should be dropped it appears that there's a similar movement in the US. Healthcare officials are starting to call the ban a "myth," an "old wives' tale" and "a silly thing." Some, though, are still worried, and claim anecdotal evidence that mobile phones can interfere with equipment -- despite increasing evidence that it's very specific, more reasonably blocked, circumstances that would cause the interference. In fact, some are saying that allowing mobile phones in hospitals would do much more to save lives, noting how many deaths there are due to prescription mistakes that might be solved by a simple, quick phone call in the hospital -- while also pointing out that "there is no evidence that a cell phone has ever killed a patient."

Time For Hospitals To Join The
Information Age 06/18/2004 12:59 PM
While there are some hospitals who have successf ully moved into the digital age, plenty haven't budged from their old paper-based filing system. It's not so much that hospitals dislike technology. They buy all sorts of advanced medical technology all the time. But, when it comes to administrative technology and things like computerized prescription systems - which might save lives by preventing mistakes - hospitals don't seem to care. The complaints range from doctors who are afraid the new system will slow them down, to hospitals who point out that the only benefit to these systems is to the patients (you know, the folks who don't want to die) and not the hospital itself. Yes, the health of a patient is secondary to profitability these days. Of course, considering the high price of malpractice lawsuits, you would think such systems might pay for themselves. It's certainly a political hot potato, though. Politicians are now looking for ways to force hospitals to join the twenty-first century and update their computer systems to prevent errors.
