David, while I admire your motivations, IMHO the vast majority of the
scientific community are already highly moral, ethical, and idealized
individuals. Certainly there are some bad apples in the barrel,
however no morality campaign will ever change this fact, and we can be
thankful that such exceptions are rare and of limited harm.

Wouldn't both your and Peter Lynds efforts be more productive/fruitful
if directed to the law, medical, political, and business communities
where ethical abuses are both far more common and harmful to the well
being of the general public?
