A basis and rationale for conducting ethical analysis as part of the information systems development process, utilizing the &quot;soft&quot; systems methodology, is presented here, drawing upon the rich background from ethics theory. The trend toward socialized medicine in the U.S. with its accompanying bureaucracy and limited resource allocation, the rising specter of a renewed interest in eugenics given credibility by the technological support of chromosome mapping, exemplify a world that utilizes information technology with wider-ranging ethical implications, far beyond those of the more technically oriented, clerical replacement systems typical of early information systems endeavors. Ethical examination of the role played by the analyst is usually limited to the prognostication of a researcher biased by his or her own ethical foundations.</style></abstract><doi><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1145/227234.227244</style></doi><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12619612</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wood-Harper, A.
