Copyrighted text

The CorenSearchBot correctly notes that much of the text of this article is copied from another web page:

http://blogs.nature.com/news/thegreatbeyond/2007/09/hippocratic_oath_for_scientist.html

As the text is the seven principles of a code to be adopted by all scientists worldwide, it is logical to assume that this text will not have any copyright.

Link Schmink. IMNSHO, the “professions” differ distinctly from the equally honorable “trades” in (at least) one crucial way: every pr’n or trade has principles that are breached only at the members deep peril. One frequently relevant distinction is a ‘’need’’ for deep clarity (not about precise details, but about hard-to-nail-down judgments that true professionals have to not simply follow, but to “cleave to”). The professions refine … ‘’’push’’’ the precision of … of ethical judgments further than the trades for two reasons: 1. The stakes ‘’tend’’ to be greater. 2. The technical judgments that are meaningfully feasible are (often) more precise, and more formally stated. (WiP/TbC’d) — ex-Jerzy, -JerzyA, etc.; addition TBC, hopably in the next 18 hrs.

Hypocrisy?

Is there a way to expand this article so as to outline the "issues" that "scientists" see as setting them apart from those other members of society similarly empowered (the other Professions), and thereby, in some quasi-mystical manner, to elevate them above any enforceable requirement for ethical conduct? The deification of science achieved by virtue of being "understood" as being concerned only with the pursuit of "truth" is one. If it is the only one then it could have it's own section. The obvious "problem" is that doing so might foster some debate, but simply outlining the main reasoning for and against ethical conduct in science should be simple enought to summarise.
