Code of ethics

Submitted by lbonnell on Sun, 11/07/2010 - 1:00pm.

I think a code of ethics for scientists would have helped avoid some of the issues related to the Wakefield article. It could have helped prevent and minimize the damage caused by his press release and falsification of data. At the same time, I'm not really sure how such a code would be formed and who would be in charge it. There could be a fine line to censorship or trying to restrict how people think in creating a code.
