Ruth Barchan Marcus introduces the second order regulative principle in ethical charters, which shows that the consistency of principles of an ethical charter is not inconsistent with acceptance of ethical dilemmas. According to this principle, individuals, who follow a charter, have a second order commitment to create conditions in which all the commitments are implementable without ethical dilemmas. Jureon van Denhauven applies the same principle in engineering ethics. His solution for elimination of ethical dilemmas is a technical one and by using technological innovations. This paper, by describing and comparing Marcus and van Denhauven’s perspectives, argues that van Denhauven’s examples are not instances of true dilemma meant by Marcus and his suggested solution does not help the ethical agent to get rid of the true ethical dilemmas.
