In the Aberdeen Three, three civilian managers were prosecuted for violating the RCRA in allowing the unsafe storage of hazardous chemicals that posed a health risk to workers, civilians, and the natural environment. The managers claimed they were unaware of the companies storage practices. Yet in law, negligence is not an excuse for culpability, and the managers were given jail time and fines. The issue here is that a company existed which did not comply with the laws that were meant to protect people, and managers at the company enabled that moral laxity by not reporting it, not doing anything it, and hence endangering many people with their negligence. Engineering ethics application would have looked at the relevant factors (legal, ethical, moral, social) and shored up the company's chemical storage practices (Fleddermann, 2008, p. 47).

more tactically satisfactory mothers in the form of cloth giving no food. Other young monkeys were given a choice between wire mothers that did not provide food and cloth mothers who did give food.

They study concluded that if simulated adequately, surrogate motherhood was
