The very idea of having such a meeting in the first place, is an ethical motivation, one made on the basis of common concern. This is a good example of what I'm talking about. I acknowledged early on that ethics inform objectives. That has never been in question, I don't think. I think we can reasonably infer that the objective of that meeting, for example, was to identify the most effective way to spend a set amount of money for human benefit. That's an ethically based choice. But after ethics has informed the choice of objective, how does ethics drive the decision making? It seems to me, as I've said before, that methodology is what gets you to where you can place top priorities on this or that.
