ABSTRACT

Much of the literature related to computer ethics has a narrow focus; there has been little discussion among Information Systems (IS) professionals of the uses to which their work may be put. Some of the more harmful uses of computer technology are discussed. The case is argued for a Hippocratic oath for IS professionals.
