	Ethics - WikipÃ©dia
		There are several sub-branches of applied ethics examining the ethical problems of different professions, such as business ethics, medical ethics, engineering ethics and legal ethics, while technology assessment and environmental assessment study the effects and implications of new technologies or projects on nature and society.
		Each branch to characterize common issues and problems that arise in the ethical codes of the professions, and define their common responsibility to the public, e.g.
		For example, the issue of abortion is an applied ethical topic since it involves a specific type of controversial behavior.

	Consequentialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One idea suggested as a middle course between 'genuine egoism' and 'genuine altruism' is ethical fitnessism, which claims that the fittest behaviour is right.
		Ethical / Moral Egoism can be understood as individualist consequentialism according to which the consequences for the agent herself are taken to matter most.
		Utilitarianism, on the other hand, can be understood as collectivist consequentialism according to which the consequences for some large group (humanity perhaps, or all sentient beings) are of the greatest moment.

	Talk:Ethics and evolutionary psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I don't think Dawkins actually uses the term "ethical fitnessism", but he may have mentioned "ethical fitness".
		Namely, "fitnessism" is, at best, a minor footnote in the overall topic of evpsych and ethics, so someone ought to write up a more comprehensive article under which this one can take its properly small place.
		I'm fairly familiar with Dawkins' popular writings, and but for the idiosyncratic title it seems a fair statement of one ethical calculus based on sociobiology.

	Sociobiology
		Usual political argument is, that even if racism was adaptive, it still wouldn't make it ethically acceptable, because the ethical considerations should be based on the harm racism causes for those who are the target of it.
		Scientific critism of this kind of research usually centers on pointing out that these theories often include only those aspects of the processes they are dealing with which can best be used to come to "politically preferred" conclusions.
		Such theories are bound to draw fire, both on political and scientific grounds.
