We deeply regret Sen. Frist`s endorsement of an embryonic stem cell research policy that would turn living human beings into commodities for exploitation. ... Treating living human embryos as mere fodder for experimentation crosses a vital ethical line an...

The question is, why are politicians so eager to be president? What is it about the job that makes it worth revealing, on national television, that you have the ethical standards of a slime-coated piece of industrial waste?
Dave Barry
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.
Omar N. Bradley
When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the religion of amulets and holy places and priestcraft: Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes
C.S. Lewis
The challenge in playing Bess [in Breaking the Waves] is that, in physical, psychological, intellectual, moral, ethical and political terms, she`s a disaster - part saint, part clown. But she has an infinite capacity to love and believe. I tried to make t...

When I realized I was going to have to be a whore, to put my face on the label, I decided that the only way I could do it was to give away all the money we make. Over the years, that ethical stance has given us a 30 per cent boost. One in three customers ...
Paul Newman
I am not sure what I am going to do for my next film, but I certainly believe that I have no right to tell another couple whether they can or cannot be married. That is simply not allowed in my ethical book of standards. I am a very spiritual person - I d...

On human embryonic stem cell research: "I found that the cloning of human embryos will be used in the process and that, for me, I have an ethical problem with that. Why do I, as a taxpayer, have to fund something I believe is unethical?"
Mel Gibson
You might hold an ethical position that it`s wrong to lie, but if you have plans for a war in Iraq, and you want to keep them secret for practical reasons - to reduce casualties, perhaps - and someone asks you about those plans, you may need to lie for a ...
Peter Singer
Whether that`s a suspension, whether that`s booting someone off the team, he has to take decisive action. It`s an absolute, rock-bottom, moral and ethical kind of thing. When it happens on your watch, you`ve got to deal with it.

Baris Cetinok
They`re passing legislation against something they don`t even understand, which is kind of scary. There were lots of rules and regulations I built into it personally to make it safe and ethical.
John Lockwood
The soldiers thing, I think the Italians picked it up first. I`ve done interviews with the Italians, the French, Amsterdam. ... They were very critical, saying the US wouldn`t pick it up, because it`s such a sore spot. ... It raises too many ethical quest...

The repudiation of the primacy of understanding means the repudiation of the norms of judgment as well, and hence the abandonment of all ethical standards.
Alice Raine
The mind cannot support moral chaos for long. Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.
John Dos Passos
The formation of character in young people is educationally a different task from and a prior task to, the discussion of the great, difficult ethical controversies of the day.

Art Hawkesworth
The best part? Probably being able to portray such a respectable, ethical, intelligent, strong woman. That`s still pretty rare in our business, unfortunately.
Catherine Bell
The American people expect public servants to be able to police themselves. But instead of designing a system to enforce ethical conduct, Tom Delay and his cohorts have implemented a self protection system. Obviously, it wasn`t good for democracy.
