Engineering Ethics
NOTE: Quoted ed questions from: Engineering Ethics, Fourth Edition, CHARLES B. FLEDDERMANN, University of New Mexico (2.5 Marks) {Q1} There has been some discussion of having the federal government maintain a computer database of medical information on everyone in the United States. Some medical researchers feel that such a database might save lives by allowing access to a larger base of medical records for research purposes. Certainly, this database would make certain legitimate government functions more efficient. Is this a good idea?? Explain why? (2.5 Marks) {Q2} How can utilitarianism or rights and duty ethics be applied to issues surrounding the proper conduct of research? (5 Marks) {Q3} Think about ways in which ethical issues regarding experimentation or research have come up during your academic career. Analyze these cases and decide if you handled them ethically or not.
