Ethics - Further to Ess, Walther and Waern

1) Until a professional code emerges, one ethical possibility, that will still permit Internet researchers to go global but act within local rules is to simply expect them to rigorously apply the golden rule - 'do unto others ... etc.' - a temporary shelter perhaps, but well worth considering. 2) Certainly Laud Humphries did not apply this rule when he wrote and released Tea-Room Trade in the seventies and look where that debate went. 3) Privacy rules go so far in the UK that if you are being harassed by a telephone crank, you cannot obtain a call trace. A delightful system that fully protects the rights of the harasser! Cheers, dr. david neice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David C.

I think some of my postings might have disappeared, because I sent at least one link once before. I have only found one link that is pertinent to Internet ethics, and a lot that deal with etics related to "human subjects". The Internet ethics link is a result from a workshop on ethics and is written by and found at: Frankel, M.S., Siang, S. (1999). Ethical and Legal Aspects of Human Subjects Research on the Internet. www.aaas.org/spp/dspp/sfrl/projects/intres/main.htm Hope to be able to continue the interesting discussion!

It would be more than appropriate not only to held conferences outside the US but also to organize them in such a way that they could be run as a set of virtuallyinterconnected conferences in various parts of the real world. In any case it would be appropriate to form a conference committee for 2002 and start preparing the event if it is to be in Europe. Michel J. Menou mailto:Michel.Menou@wanadoo.fr
