Ethics revisited; further ethical explorations for biocommunicators
Abstract:
This article explores further ethical considerations for biocommunicators. The focus is on professionalization and the need for professional standards to guide conduct and decisions. What makes formation of an ethical code for the profession of biocommunications desirable? Examples of issues facing the profession and general areas which may need to be examined in order to form a code are considered in relation to a philosophy of professionalism. The pros and cons of forming an ethics code are discussed. The authors call upon biomedical communications professionals to conscientiously deliberate the advantage or disadvantages of a code of ethics to the future of their profession.
