Letter to the Editor: Farmer levies used to promote GE The GeneEthics Network - Working to keep Australia GE-free The GeneEthics Network was founded in 1988. We promote critical community discussion and debate on the economic, market, environmental, social and ethical impacts of genetic engineering (GE) technologies. The Network campaigns for the precautionary principle to be rigorously applied to all uses of GE. We also promote community participation in policy-making processes on: GE regulation, proposed releases of GE organisms and their products, food labelling, feral animal and weed control. GeneEthics Network supporters keep an eye on all uses of gene technology. News Release: Regulator Licenses Gene and Chemical Pollution The Office of Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) today licensed Monsanto's Roundup herbicide tolerant canola for release throughout Australia - anywhere, anytime, on any scale, by anyone, and permanently. The licence does not require further reporting (other than seed sales), monitoring, review or assessment. "Australia's invaluable reputation for clean green foods and the quality of our environment will be in tatters if state governments allow the licence to be used," says GeneEthics Director, Bob Phelps.

162. European Codes Of Journalism Ethics / Europe Guide to ethics codes for media in European countries with related articles and links to selected press councils. http://www.uta.fi/ethicnet/

Databank for European Codes of Journalism Ethics Welcome to EthicNet! EthicNet is a project which aims at a comprehensive databank offering basic information on media ethics for journalism students and teachers as well as scholars and practitioners. We believe that this kind of open service on Internet may contribute to raising the standards of journalistic performance. EthicNet is a collection of codes of journalism ethics from most of the European countries, translated into English. The core of the collection resulted from numerous research projects of the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Tampere, and it has been extended and updated with information from various relevant sources. The contents of EthicNet are inevitably incomplete, and we welcome all proposals for its improvement! We would be especially delighted to receive additional codes for this collection. Efficient updating of EthicNet naturally requires continuous funding - something that cannot guaranteed at present. EthicNet is therefore a call for all interested parties to contact us for further discussion about working together. EthicNet is maintained by the Journalism Research and Development Centre at the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Tampere, Finland. The database is supervised by Prof. Kaarle Nordenstreng and Dr. Ari Heinonen.

Older browsers and/or operating systems may not display the formatting correctly. last substantive content change OCT Feminist Ethics Feminist Ethics Feminists have developed a wide variety of women-centered approaches to ethics, including those labeled "feminine," "maternal," and "lesbian." Each of these approaches to ethics highlights the differences between men's and women's respective situations in life- biological and social; provides strategies for dealing with issues that arise in private as well as public life; and offers action guides intended to undermine rather than bolster the present systematic subordination of women (Jaggar, "Feminist Ethics," 1992). Considered together the overall aim of all feminist approaches to ethics, irrespective of their specific labels, is to create a gender-equal ethics, a moral theory that generates non-sexist moral principles, policies, and practices. 1.

166. Search Engines Talks about the difficulties in getting listed in a search engine and search engine ethics implications. http://www.saintlouisflamenco.com/webmaster/searchengines.htm

Contents of this page Introduction What do search engines try to do? How do search engines get the listings they provide? How do Search Engines Make Money? ... Your Ideas Requested Introduction If you use search engines for searching, you've probably wondered how they choose which of the million hits to display first. If you've ever tried to get your site listed in a search engine, you've probably wondered how to get your site listed first so people will be able to find your web site. Based on current experience in getting the Saint Louis Cultural Flamenco Society website listed, I've found some interesting information on search engines and the tradeoff between economics and ethics. Please note I have no financial interest or ax to grind in this work. It would have saved me some time if I had understood the following before trying to get the website on the search engines. Our goal is to be listed in the first few entries when someone types "Saint Louis Flamenco" into their search engine. Since there is only one flamenco group in Saint Louis, this would seem a reasonable goal. The society is in no way controversial. With some knowledge of the search engines, the website has been designed to be easy for search engines to look over. The Saint Louis Cultural Flamenco Society website, I hope you will agree, is a website suitable for viewing by people of any age. There is no sex, violence, foul language, hate group writing. The website is a high quality website that is easy to use to get the information you want about our flamenco group in Saint Louis. The society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the arts. Like most such organizations, making ends meet financially is a challenge - there is no big money behind the society.

167. Animals And Ethics [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Consideration of moral status of nonhuman animals. http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/a/anim-eth.htm

Animals and Ethics The issue of animals and ethics is a philosophical issue mainly due to the fact that common sense thinking is deeply divided on it. Animals exist on the borderline of our moral concepts; the result is that we sometimes find ourselves according them a strong moral status, while at others denying them any kind of moral status at all. For example, public outrage is strong when knowledge of such operations as puppy mills is made available; the thought here is that dogs deserve much more consideration than the operators of such places give them. However, when it is pointed out that the conditions in a factory farm are as bad as, if not much worse than, the conditions in a puppy mill, the usual response is that those affected are "just animals" after all, and do not merit our concern. This disparity of thought gives rise to a philosophical question: what place should animals have in an acceptable moral system?

170. Sentiment As Social Justice Article from the Christian Research Institute dealing with capital punishment and rebutting the argument of a higher Christian ethic. http://www.equip.org/free/DE205.htm

Feature Article: sentiment as social justice: tHE ETHICS OF CAPital punishment by J. Daryl Charles This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal , volume 17, number 1 (1994). For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org SYNOPSIS Historically, the church has affirmed the right of the civil magistrate in matters of capital justice. Contemporary culture, in contrast, is permeated with arguments against capital punishment. Even among those professing Christian faith, there is widespread opposition to the death penalty. As a trend, the ever-increasing role of the media in manipulating public sentiment in the face of pressing ethical debates promises not to subside. While we may grant that the Christian community is divided over this issue and while we take no delight in its clarification, the church — in keeping with its earthly mandate — is to instruct the state in matters of justice. The highly publicized 1992 executions of Robert Alton Harris (California) and Roger Keith Coleman (Virginia), for better or worse, injected a new level of urgency into the debate over capital punishment. In both cases the extent to which the American public was treated to a numbing display of sentimentality by media pundits was nothing short of breathtaking. A more recent case involving a disabled murderer, Charles Sylvester Stamper, further fueled the death penalty debate on a national level. Stamper, who killed three people in a restaurant robbery, became the first person in a wheelchair to be put to death since the

section previous section interactive activity table of contents return to home related links post your thoughts You have certainly heard the word property before: it is generally used to mean a possession, or more specifically, something to which the owner has legal rights. You might have also encountered the phrase intellectual property . This term has become more commonplace during the past few years, especially in the context of computer ethics. But what exactly does it refer to? Before we explore the answer to this question, we must first discuss the existence of a very important organization: the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This organization was founded in 1967 as one of the specialized agencies of the United Nations organizations, and it has since remained responsible for the protection of intellectual property Because the WIPO is the leading authority on this matter, we turn to the text of the Convention Establishing the WIPO for a definition of intellectual property . The treaty states that intellectual property generally refers to rights relating to, among others, the following:

Your Views New Resources on the Professional Ethics Page Association for Information Systems (AIS) Code of Research Conduct Guidelines for a Victim: Dealing with Plagiarism Process Guidelines Introduction to the Professional Ethics Page It is the intention of the page editors that this page will provide a forum for discussing issues concerning the practice of ethics in the Information Systems profession. The real challenge for an international discussion regarding ethics in the IS profession is not to indulge in a never-ending debate on the feasibility or necessity of having a code of ethics, but rather, to be able to capture and share the essence of our profession so that it can provide a guiding light to the many more people who are already or who will one day be part of this profession. We intend to introduce progressively new features to this page and earnestly solicit your feedback. In particular, we would like these pages to be not only a source of information, but also a focus of debate - again, not so much on the feasibility or necessity of a code of ethics, but on ethical and professional issues that are critical to all of us in the IS community. While codes of conduct and practice are perhaps the most well-known characteristics of the debate on ethics, there is much that cannot be codified or prescribed that is worthy of discussion, including the way in which ethics is taught in the Information Systems curriculum.

179. A Better World? Chapter excerpted from 'One World The ethics of Globalization' (New Haven, 2002). http://www.petersingerlinks.com/world.htm

A BETTER WORLD? by Peter Singer Ira. W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics, University Center for Human Values Princeton University Excerpted from One World , New Haven, pp. 196-201 www.PeterSingerLinks.com [Use this version to print] ONE WORLD The Ethics of Globalization by Peter Singer other books In the fifth century before the Christian era, the Chinese philosopher Mozi, appalled at the damage caused by war in his time, asked: "What is the way of universal love and mutual benefit?" He answered his own question: "It is to regard other people's countries as one's own." The ancient Greek iconoclast Diogenes, when asked what country he came from, is said to have replied: "I am a citizen of the world." In the late 20th century John Lennon sang that it isn't hard to "Imagine there's no countries . . . Imagine all the people/Sharing all the world." Until recently, such thoughts have been the dreams of idealists, devoid of practical impact on the hard realities of a world of nation states. But now we are beginning to live in a global community. Almost all the nations of the world have reached a binding agreement about their greenhouse gas emissions. The global economy has given rise to the World Trade Organisation, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund; institutions that take on, if imperfectly, some functions of global economic governance. An international criminal court is beginning its work. Changing ideas about military intervention for humanitarian purposes shows we are in the process of developing a global community prepared to accept its responsibility to protect the citizens of states that cannot or will not protect them from massacre or genocide.
