[IMPORTANT INFORMATION]
1. Please list the first 3 roles of Ethics Committee and what it is they do as part of the foundation and Site Administration?*
The Ethics Committee is in charge of upholding humane and ethical morale codes present within the SCP Foundation along. Alike the name Site Administration, members of the Ethics Committee are tasked with managing and enforcing the proper etiquette required to keep the operations of the Foundation running smoothly and effectively . The three main roles or objectives which ECM always follows are:
The surveillance of daily activities conducted within the facilities by any foundation personnel, including how containment procedures are done, SCP experiments are handled, and how we utilise D-class subjects. It is a fact that no clearance-level or position can restrict the committee's observance of the ongoing activities.
Secondly, the Committee assists foundation personnel on verifying what is considered unethical, cruel, or an unnecessary waste of resources. In other words, they help run the facility in ways of resource management and everyone's morale.
Lastly, the Ethics Committee are tasked with re-educating people who have done wrong, when they have been proven to be immoral. When found guilty, ECM may exercise justified punishments according to the foundation's legal codex in order to ensure stability and morale throughout the foundation.
2. Can you explain the 3 Lessons of the ethics committee and why they are important?*
The first lesson of the Ethics Committee is that the foundation is not at all inherently evil, and that we do what we do because it is necessary. Some may think this because of our use of D class, but we make sure that they are treated with respect and that they are treated fairly.
The second lesson is that we do not rule the world, or even contend to be in that position. But that we serve the world. We have this much power because many people believe in our cause, and we need this power only to contain and research the anomalous; who can be extremely powerful.
The last lesson is our duty to the world, the P in SCP stands for protect and we do that to the best of our ability. We make sure civilians stay safe and out of harms way, while maintaining secrecy so people can have the peace and comfort of normality. Our goals are not to: conquer, destroy or profit. We do what we do out of love for the world.
3. Why do you think you should be accepted into the Ethics Committee?
I think I should be accepted into the Ethics Committee because of my dedication to the foundation's cause, my good decision making and my sympathy of other people. I can read a situation and what the people want and make judgment calls all according to standard ethics.
4. The SD, HoEA and SA start to contradict each others orders thus creating casualties in the field, what do you do?
I would first see who's orders are the most reasonable, my criteria being: is it safe, is it humane, is it beneficial. If I don't see a clear winner, then I would then judge who has the most authority over the situation. Say HoEA controls outside negotiations and relations, while SD controls all onsite activities. If neither of them have reasonable orders then I would check the site advisors orders. And then, if the side I choose has orders that have unnecessary wastes of resources or is unethical, then I would try to sort the situation out the best I can with my own orders. Although this would be a absolute last resort.
5. You witness a HR order a shooting of an infected personnel while he begs for his life, what do you do?
I would ask the HR what the person was infected with, and then ask why did he terminate it if he was seemingly sentient and aware. If his reasoning was unethical or unreasonable I would give disciplinary action depending on how serious it is (from euthanization all the way to murder).
6. A Nu-7 unit complains to you about being picked on by his colleagues for under performing, how do you deal with the situation?
I would discipline the offenders verbally if the offence isn't too bad, but I could resort to advising a CO on the situation and even look into the offenders being demoted to a lower rank if the offence is really bad.
