Abstract
The professional abillty profit group made up of the physician, the lawter and engineer and so forth creates a unique code of ethics from the aspects of the characteristics of each profession and the organization and maintenance of that group. On this point, there are many reseachers who citea code of ethics as the most characteristic element of the profession. However, on the other hand, there is the ethicist who insists that "the whole notion of an organized professional ethics is an absurdity - intellectual and moral. Furthemore, I shall argue that there are few positive benefits to be derived from having a code and the possibility of mischievous side effects of adopting a code is substantial." However, there are further consideations. There are critics who insist that in the first place, just because a profession shuch as that of physicians has "special status" in society, it cannot be said that "the special ethics," which originate from the nature of that profession, that is, "the uniwue code of ethics," are necessarily in the profession, too. Is there a professional ethics code for certain groups and for certain situations as expected? And is that really useful? It is necessary to clarift the problem sphere of the code of professional ethics.
