From the Paper:

"Ethics have been around as long as humans have roamed the earth, interacting with each other in appropriate or inappropriate manners and deciding which is the best way to lead life while around others. Throughout the centuries and millennia, thinkers and scholars and clergy have argued and defined, discussed and written, while attempting to define just what is ethical and how such behavior and actions should best be incorporated into the ethical individual's everyday life and overall existence. Yet, despite the innumerable words and volumes that have been designated to the study of ethics, despite all of the thought and prescription by government and religious institutions which have been made to individuals, ethical decisions and theories are just that: individual, personal, only able to be defined and made and instituted by each individual person for themselves."
