In this essay, we demonstrate that the field of computer ethics shares many core similarities with two other areas of applied ethics. Academicians writing and teaching in the area of computer ethics, along with practitioners, must address ethical issues that are qualitatively similar in nature to those raised in medicine and business. In addition, as academic disciplines, these three fields also share some similar concerns. For example, all face the difficult challenge of maintaining a credible dialogue with diverse constituents such as academicians of various disciplines, professionals, policymakers, and the general public. Given these similarities, the fields of bioethics and business ethics can serve as useful models for the development of computer ethics.
在本文中，我们论证了计算机伦理领域与其他两个应用伦理领域有许多核心相似之处。在计算机伦理领域进行写作和教学的学者以及从业者，必须处理本质上与医学和商业中所提出的伦理问题在性质上相似的伦理问题。此外，作为学术学科，这三个领域也有一些相似的关注点。例如，它们都面临着与不同群体保持可信对话的艰巨挑战，这些群体包括各学科的学者、专业人士、政策制定者和普通公众。鉴于这些相似之处，生物伦理和商业伦理领域可以作为计算机伦理发展的有用范例。
