I do tend to skip over the ethics articles. Since I tend to be more interested in the scientific aspect of, "well, what's possible?", and I'm absolutely the sort of person who would not think about "if we should", because that's more of a political question, to me.

Well, I probably _would_ think of "if we should", but more in the context of what should be allowed as business practice, rather than scientific progress.

But, thankfully, I tend to find the various, "what should be the ethical stance of computer people on x?" articles more boring than contentious.

And I haven't been tasked with implementing a system that I find unethical, thankfully.
