Question

Schmidt argues that That whistle blowing is a only a prima facie (not an absolute) responsibility because engineers are persons with their own moral rights. That engineers shall "hold paramount the ssafety and wellbeing of the public" by putting public safety "above all other concerns." Ethical experts have a lot in common with technical experts because moral expertise and technical expertise are acquired in a similar manner. That we should take a deontological approach to engineering ethics. Name one drawback to using a risk management approach to solve the "Risk/Benefit Problem" of technology that we discussed in class. Risks are subject to a certain extent (different people will make different judgments concerning whether a given risk is acceptable.) Risk mmanagement itself is a good approach, but it cannot be complete without an appeal to Kantianism or Utlitarianism. Engineering decisions can never be reduced to deterministic approaches in ethics. There are no drawbacks to using a risk management strategy to handle the "Risk Benefit Problem" of technology.
