Ethical Dilemma: Therac 25 --Programmer --
Therac 25 was a machine designed for cancer treatments. Due to poor design, the machine ended up severely injuring 6 patients. The programmer has been identified as someone who likely didn't have formal training, and who worked alone on a safety critical system. The dilemma is whether the programmer was qualified for such a task and if it was immoral, considering the age that it happened it.
