3. Ethical Decision-Making Process 1.)Ethical Issues:  Moral constraints and the ethics in the Just War Doctrine are at risk of being lost when the physical aspect of war is taken out. No risk on the battlefield may impair the decisions of some. “Easier to pull the trigger 100 miles away” 2.)Stakeholders:  Every person on earth is a stakeholder. Enemies and Allies will eventually have this technology and capability. All stakeholders would like to see that War will stay “fair” and not be unethical. 3.)Solutions a: End Cyber Warfare Best Case: Wars stay the same Worst Case: No more advancements b: Disregard Ethics Best Case: Everyone makes good decisions Worst Case: Complete chaos c: Adapt to Changes Best Case: Set of ethics are agreed upon as a standard Worst Case: Not everyone follows rules/standards
