- Ethics is the study of morality, of what is "good" or "right". In transhumanism, a behavior can be good or right in 2 different ways:
* good for one transhuman: it helps it survive
* good for all transhumans: the behavior is adopted by all transhumans. This behavior must respect the golden rule This definition thus depends on the result of the behavior, which cannot be predicted perfectly. So the morality of an act cannot only be determined approximately.
- Barack Obama has taken the lead on reforming the way Washington works. He's got the strongest plan of any primary or general election candidate when it comes to returning American government to its owners - the people. Senator Obama's plan for open, transparent, and honest government is the cornerstone of his reform program; until we change the way things work in Washington, trying to make meaningful change happen in things like health care, the environment, and energy is going to be incredibly difficult.
- Ethics is the branch of philosophy asking what we ought to do.
- Central to permaculture are the three ethics. • Care for the Earth • Care for People • Fair Share Ethics are culturally evolved mechanisms that regulate self-interest, giving us a better understanding of good and bad outcomes. • Care for the Earth The Earth is a living, breathing entity. Without ongoing care and nurturing there will be consequences too big to ignore. • Care for People If peoples needs are met in compassionate and simple ways, the environment surrounding them will prosper. • Fair Share We are provided with times of abundance which encourages us to share with others.

After RuneScape 2 was officially released, he continued to play on the same account "Dodger27" on RSC, and made his current main account to play RS2 with. In the early years, Woodcutting was his favorite skill, getting it in the high 90s before ultimately quitting the game in early 2007, having approximately 1450 total level at the time of quitting.
- Ethics is the study of oughtness, an unfounded branch of philosophy which deals with what eggheads on the Nerd Patrol think of right and wrong. A Code of Ethics? No thank you. The Holy Bible is the only true source of right and wrong. Ethics is just a fancy word East Coast Liberals use to try and take Jesus from where he belongs: Deeply entrenched in our hearts, our government, and our courtrooms. The US Senate even has an ethics committee. Anything Congress forms a committee to investigate, oversee, or regulate is just plain wrong (like steroids).
- Ethics (from the Ancient Greek "ethikos", meaning "theory of living") is one of the major branches of philosophy, one that covers the analysis and employment of concepts such as right, wrong, good, evil, and responsibility.

- Ethics is the branch of philosophy that seeks to determine how one ought to act in a particular situation. That is to say, if focuses on how one might be able to determine right or good action in any given situation. Different schools of ethical thought arise from different areas. Religion often plays a central role in ethics. The ethics of most people come directly from their religious upbringing, or lack thereof. Many people believe that the best forms are at the very least derived from religion, if not identical to the teachings of the religion they subscribe to.
- We observe very clearly that everything in this world is in a state of flux and change. The process of renewal in life is a principle underlying the law of creation. In the same way as we believe in the immutable and enduring character of the law of change, we are also forced to believe in certain immutable concepts and to consider them eternal and everlasting. Among these immutable principles are the laws of morality and human excellence which we are forced to observe of the judgements of sound reason and to lead our lives in accordance with them. One of the most significant factors underlying the success and failure of societies, their triumph and defeat, is the moral factor, whose decisive role in the lives of nations is so evident and conspicuous that no one can deny it.

| abstract | - Lieutenant Worf is seriously injured, almost killed, when some containers fall on him. He wakes up in sickbay to find that his spinal cord has been crushed, resulting in paralysis. Dr. Beverly Crusher has Dr. Toby Russell, a neurological specialist, called onto the Enterprise. The two doctors find themselves in uncharted territory: in Klingon medicine those who are paralyzed are allowed to die. Klingons with these kinds of injuries usually often perform the Hegh'bat, the Klingon ritual suicide. Commander Riker goes to visit Worf in sickbay. Worf asks him to help him commit ritual suicide. Riker is shocked and repulsed by what Worf is asking for–to hand him a knife and leave him to stab himself in the heart. Riker refuses to help Whorf, because in his opinion Worf can still live out his life, even if crippled. Alexander, Worf's 9-year old son, is upset over his father's accident, and even more upset that Worf will not allow Alexander to see him in his condition. It goes against Worf’s Klingon culture to be seen when in a disabled or injured state. Dr. Russell proposes a new surgical procedure for Worf to Dr. Crusher. Dr. Russell believes that she can use what she calls a Genitronic Replicator to create an entirely new spinal column for Worf. But it would be the first time she had done this on a living being. Despite this, Russell wants to continue. At first, Russell and Crusher have Worf try using devices to transmit impulses to the appropriate muscles. But when it is revealed that Worf would not have full mobility, he refuses to use the devices. Against Crusher's wishes, Russell proposes the Genitronic procedure to Worf. Meanwhile, the USS Enterprise-D diverts to render aid to the USS Denver. The Enterprise medical staff begin treating casualties. Dr. Crusher discovers that a patient under Dr. Russell's care had died after Russell tried an untested, experimental treatment. Outraged by Russell's reckless choice of a radical approach over conventional treatment, Crusher relieves Russell of duty, and tells Russell that she will not be permitted to practice medicine on board the Enterprise. Captain Picard meets with Dr. Crusher after he learns that she has relieved Dr. Russell of duty. She had found that Starfleet had refused permission to allow Russell to use living subjects for her procedure (the one she had proposed to try on Worf). Crusher says that Worf was basically healthy for the time being, but that if he went into surgery he could die. Picard tells her that she should consider allowing Russell to perform the operation. He tells her that the only way to save Worf's life is to do this. Even though Crusher knows Worf could have a full life even with this paralysis, Picard knows that Worf's Klingon upbringing says that his life was over the moment he was struck by the container. Meanwhile, Riker studies the Klingon death ritual, and finds that Worf's son Alexander – his only immediate family member – would need to be the one to help. It is not Riker's place to help Worf commit suicide. In light of this, Worf summons Alexander to sickbay and informs him that he has chosen not to kill himself, but instead to try the experimental surgical procedure suggested by Dr. Russell. Worf goes into surgery. Everything seems to go right until the end of the operation, when suddenly Worf crashes and dies on the operating table. Crusher goes to tell Alexander that Worf has died. Alexander demands to see his father. When they come back they find that Worf's synaptic functions have reactivated; his brain also had a backup system. This allowed him to survive the operation. Soon his body begins functioning again. While thrilled that Worf will recover, Crusher is disturbed by Russell's attitude of "the ends justify the means.” Crusher tells Russell that real research is a slow and painstaking process, which sometimes takes a lifetime, and that she cannot abide Russell's shortcuts. Dr. Crusher to Dr. Russell: “You take short cuts. Right through living tissue! You put your research ahead of your patients' lives. And as far as I'm concerned, that's a violation of our most sacred trust [as doctors].” Directspirit (talk) 07:54, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

- Ethics actually consists of rationality toward the highest level of survival for the individual, the family unit, the group, mankind, and the future race and extending to include all life forms, the planet itself and, ultimately, everything beyond that taken collectively. Ethics are reason. The highest ethic level would be very high level long-term survival concepts with minimal destruction, along any of the dynamics. Ethics is a personal thing. When one is ethical it is always and only by one’s own determination and is done by oneself. One can never force a person to be ethical, because that subjection to force immediately removes from the person the element of self-determination and makes a slave of him. Without full self-determinism there is no real ethical conduct. Ethics rests on one’s faith in oneself, one’s belief in one’s own honour and good reason, and one’s freedom and ability to implement optimum solutions to survival along all dynamics. More than anything else Ethics refers to the base from which one is operating. Ethics is the stance one takes in life, it is who and what one considers oneself to be. It is the position from which one acts. Ethics is the base. A being is basically good. This is a fundamental axiom of life. A being wants to survive at a very high level and wants others to survive in this way too. It is only as a result of the errors and stresses of life that the being has moved away from this goodness and now seems at times to be evil or wrongheaded. The proof of this is that one can remedy the effects of these past stresses and errors and wind up with a very good, very high survival individual. But one cannot do the opposite – one cannot “remedy” the goodness in a person and wind up with an evil being. And even if one should try to “remedy” a person in this way one can then undo that and recover the basic goodness and strength that is inherent in the person. A being is basically good. Ethics deals with the rehabilitation of that inherently good and strong person, and in the survival actions which then flow from him or her in acordance with and in harmony with their basic goodness and their goals.

(DS9: "The Ship", VOY: "In the Flesh") Vulcans were particularly known for being ethical. (DS9: "Bar Association") Chief among guiding principles of Starfleet was the Prime Directive, though according to Chakotay, there were "many times when Starfleet personnel have decided on strong ethical grounds to ignore it". (VOY: "Prime Factors") In 2259 of the alternate reality, James T. Kirk protested Spock's moral objections to USS Enterprise's mission to kill John Harrison, saying, "I'm not going to take ethics lessons from a robot!" (Star Trek Into Darkness) While attempting to procure dilithium crystals from the Halkans, James T. Kirk noticed the similarity between Halkan and Federation ethics, in that they would rather die as a race than allow anyone to take even one life with the power of the crystals. Later, when mistaken for mirror Kirk, Tharn refused them again for the same reason, but with more certainty. (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror" ) Jean-Luc Picard was interested in ethics, evidenced by his bringing a copy of Ethics, Sophistry and the Alternate Universe along with him on his vacation. (TNG: "Captain's Holiday" ) Q expressed his distaste for Picard's ethics when the captain refused the temptation to visit Tagus III, which would break Taguan law. (TNG: "Qpid" ) Picard later debated ethics with Moriarty when the latter wished to give consciousness to the hologram of Countess Regina Barthalomew. Picard argued that the moral and ethical implications of creating another sentient holographic character deliberately were vast; Moriarty countered, asking if it was morally acceptable to deny him his beloved to ease the captain's conscience. (TNG: "Ship in a Bottle" ) Artificial lifeforms such as Data and The Doctor were programmed with ethical subroutines to allow them to make moral choices. (TNG: "Datalore" ; VOY: "Equinox, Part II") In 2369, while Keiko O'Brien was on leave on Earth, Miles O'Brien took charge of her school on Deep Space 9. One of the homework projects he assigned to the older students was to write an essay defining what ethics was. Nog claimed Vulcans had stolen his homework as the Ferengi did not have ethics. (DS9: "The Nagus") Quark had a low opinion of Human ethics; nevertheless, he once confided to his mother that prolonged exposure to humans was developing his conscience. (DS9: "Ferengi Love Songs")

Among these immutable principles are the laws of morality and human excellence which we are forced to observe of the judgements of sound reason and to lead our lives in accordance with them. One of the most significant factors underlying the success and failure of societies, their triumph and defeat, is the moral factor, whose decisive role in the lives of nations is so evident and conspicuous that no one can deny it. The real nature of the human being lies in its unlimited capacity for development and perfection. These capacities, faculties, and aspirations are embedded in man's very being and precede his consciousness of his own self. In the opinion of educationists and experts in training, the control of emotions and feelings and their confinement within certain moderate limits is the most fundamental problem of human life. Any kind of development in a person's spiritual faculties must be regarded as an enduring asset. Their growth and nurturing is far more important than the knowledge and information that persons gather at various levels, because they use their inner capacities at every moment of their lives. Though the light of reason with its natural radiance illuminates the panorama of life, it is possible that man's innate and deep-rooted instincts, which are the vital sources of every activity in life and which should be obedient tools and means at the disposal of reason, may go out of its control. By getting disoriented from their true axis, they may obstruct reason's vision and restrict its influence in such a manner that the thoughtless person is compelled to follow such inclinations as are opposed to logic and his personal interests. It is here that we realise the important role of morality in life and the great responsibility that lies on the shoulders of experts in matters of guidance and training. On the other hand, the practice of moral principles involves a certain amount of hardship and privation. Often there is a contradiction between these principles and certain human urges. As a result, the satisfaction of these urges becomes possible only by turning one's back on those principles. Hence a training that does make spirituality its basis cannot resist the shattering blows of instinct. Those who lack the safeguards provided by spirituality are soon carried away by the winds of desires. Because such a training lacks a force that is durable and stable so as to be able to sustain a person in advancing against the pressure of desires in all circumstances. Religious faith is the most important guarantee for the practice of human principles and the biggest support for ethical values in man's struggle against passions and instincts. Man can liberate himself from the clutches of harmful urges and motives through faith in a Creator Whose sovereignty extends over all creation and Who knows the secrets that lie hidden in every creature, and through faith in the reward and punishment of the Day of Judgement, as well as through pure and wholesome ideas Well it's a long article I will try to make it short unless then it's here
