Presented by: Professor Philip MacEwen

While considerable work has been done on the ethics of military drones, almost none has been done on the ethics of commercial and civilian drones. This paper will introduce the audience to some of the applications and uses of commercial and civilian drones and present some guidelines for the ethical use of this evolving technology.
