Ethics for life sciences engineers

Engineers and scientists don’t work as solitary individuals alone on an island and unconnected to the wider world. Typically, they work in teams and organisations, which have their own rules, norms, and practices.  Organisations also have taken for granted assumptions that are part of their culture, as well as ‘narratives’ or stories that people tell which help them to explain (to themselves and others) why they do what they do.  Organisations also have (both formal and informal) power structures, which impact upon what decisions people feel they can make.
