R is a company running gas-fired power stations in Western Europe. The Risk Committee has just received a report that a power station built to the same design and specification in a developing country has recently collapsed. The causes of the collapse are unclear, but if something similiar were to happen in Europe the consequences for R could be catastrophic.
Which of the following actions being considered by the Risk Committee are ethical?

  1. Commission a reputable firm of structural engineers to carry out a review of all power stations owned by R.
  2. Decide that the information available to date is too uncertain to take any action for now.
  3. Send experts employed by R to the site of the collapse so that they can gather information first hand on what happened.
  4. Issue a press release confirming that all R's power stations are "entirely safe".
  5. Attempt to increase the level of insurance cover against this type of eventuality.
  6. Draw up contingency plans in case some of R's power stations need to be shut down.

S Doc is an out-of-hours service provided by a country's government. The service allows members of the public to call and speak to a nurse who can advise on medical situations which are not obviously emergencies. Depending on the situation the caller can be referred to the full emergency services, or be advised to go to Accident and Emergency at the nearest hospital. Alternatively, a callout from a general practitioner (GP) can be organised; the caller can be advised of where GP services are available; advice can be given over the phone; or a decision can be taken that no further action is required at least until normal services resume on the next working day. There has been a suggestion that the nurses who take these calls could be replaced by suitably trained operatives who have available to them a specially designed expert system.
Which of the following are advantages of using an expert system instead of nurses?

  1. The operatives would be too careful and therefore would recommend unnecessary treatments or interventions.
  2. Some callers may present with complicated scenarios that a non-medically trained operative or expert system would be unable to recognise (for example, psychological issues).
  3. Using an expert system would make operatives less inclined to feel sorry for the caller and ensure that only relevant facts were considered in coming to a decision.
  4. The use of an expert system would ensure that only relevant questions were asked of the caller and that operatives did not miss something vital due to distraction or fatigue.
  5. The expert system will always follow the same path whereas the nurses may have more knowledge about some health issues and very little about others.

Answer(s): C,D,E
