Okay, maybe I ain't the brightest constellation in the field of GF stars, but at the risk of availing myself to all manner of sarcasm, I'll throw it out there, nonetheless...
The other day I was reminded of a local prosecuting attorney against whom I'd recently jousted (and won) in court who was finding himself at odds with the local courts (again) after losing his previous position. It got me to thinking: are there any fields of practice within the endeavors of man wherein ethics are a required aspect?
I could think of nearly every field which asked for practitioners to be ethical, but could not come up with even one that demanded ethical behavior from those within its folds. For instance, this former PA lost his position, but continued practicing law. However, even while in the position, he routinely violated the spirit of the law. When finally caught by the letter of the law, he simply moved to another ball park.
So the question is: can you think of any field (that I have somehow overlooked) that demands all participants to behave ethically, at the peril of no longer being allowed to practice the art?

Recently in the UK the General Teaching Council tried to impose some strict new ethical standards on teachers but thankfully it was watered down.
The backlash from teachers was because the GTC was trying to impose a code of conduct outside work hours!

So far, nothing but blanks (okay, the ethnic one was spot-on). While there are certainly stated ethical requirements, I can't think of any situation wherein if a person is actually barred from the profession, they can't simply move to another region and keep on practicing.

the case has prompted calls for much thorough checking of backgrounds, that would help prevent this kind of thing.
this issue, btw, bears on the prudence of questioning the credentials of people who try to set themselves up as being knowledgeable or wise - whether it is in an important sphere of activity, like medicine or law, or a relatively unimportant one, like forum posting. it's a good habit to get into.

Originally posted by BlackampBut even in cases such as that cited, his removal was more from the standpoint of violation of club rules, than ethics, per se. When I think of ethics, I mean to convey total conduct, not just what can be explained away or chalked up to unintentional mistakes.

I guess the underlying concept here is that, regardless of the sanctity perceived, there really isn't a field of man's endeavors that isn't tainted by his lower nature. All of his efforts appear to be contingent upon personal character and man has yet to devise or ensure even one field which demands total ethical behavior in order to practice the same. Lots and lots of hidden closets...
