The term "ethics" refers to "moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity". For example, a doctor could have a medical ethics issue relating to doctor-assisted suicide ((which is now legal in Canada) for a terminally ill patient because the doctor's Hypocratic Oath says that they will work to preserve life.
It has been suggested that it is important for those involved in software engineering to have a strong sense of ethics.
