  • The SCP Foundation Ethics Committee is one of the most powerful groups within the Foundation. They don't have the most powerful and deadly weaponry, or the most advanced technology. They aren't made up of anomalies with incredible superpowers who want to do good like some kind of SCP X-Men or Avengers. No, this group of mostly normal people are plucked from other areas in the SCP Foundation and given one of the most important jobs in the world. They are the conscience of the SCP Foundation. For a group that deals with SCP-173, SCP-682, and SCP-049, as well as world ending SCP-001 entities, this is no small job. And you've just been selected to join.

    • @cursedhawkins1305
      @cursedhawkins1305 3 года назад +74

      That will probably depend on what perspective you're looking at, let's take for example Dr. Dan's case of wanting to terminate 096 because of how dangerous the anomaly is should it break containment and get to a major population center, not only did that happen but it was also an orchestrated containment breach by Dan and his assistant, after a high lose of life including both civilian as well as a toddler and MTF personal due to the gear they were given not being completely effective Dan's request for terminating 096 did get approved but what did the foundation and like the ethics committee have to say about what Dr. Dan did well he was made a D-Class and ordered to find a way to terminate 096 himself which once that was done Dr. Dan himself would also be terminated for his crimes.
      To say that some examples from the foundation are all "necessary" would be putting all of the evil examples under the rug which is probably what the 05 council want to do which can explain their distain for the ethics committee.

      They're neither, because swinging too far into either would ultimately defeat the purpose of having the Foundation. The SCP Foundation is around the neutral spectrum (lawful neutral, true neutral, and chaotic neutral)

The ethics committee doesn't fuck around and has a lot more power then people think due to what they allow the foundation to do, because when people hear "Ethics committee" they would assume it means a group in the foundation with no power trying to stop the foundation from doing everything they do, thats why the joke "How many Ethics committee members does it take to change a light bulb" comes from.

      Its lawful evil, in some cases. But seems to, when possible, allow itself to be neutral good. Very rarely is it chaotic, due to the fact it runs on a basis of 'least pain caused', but it is never truly good for the same reason.

      What the foundation does isn't pretty or fun, but when they make sacrifices it's usually to save more people. Sometimes they are cruel, but imagine how much worse it would be without the Ethics Committee. More deaths and more pain. It's all about doing the math to protect as much of humanity as possible in the end.

    I know the meme is "lol wut Ethics Committee?" but, really? If you actually read most SCP entries, you slowly come to the horrifying realization that the Foundation would be FAR worse without one, and that the Committee is a pretty crucial part of most iterations of the lore.
    This is evident from the entries which involve the Committee either not existing or being locked out by the O5s. In those case you get shit like 110-Montuak (or at least the original iteration of the thing) and the various attempts by the O5 Council to commit mass murder on everyone in the real world who has viewed or edited the SCP wiki. And no, I don't particularly think that sorta "le creepy 4th Wall breaking horror" present in SCP-5999 is particularly well written, but it still serves as a pretty good example that versions of the lore where the Committee either doesn't exist or is just a joke tend to have a Foundation that is just flat out the villain and not the anti-heroic force it is in most entries.

      If ethical means that we sacrifice some things to protect humanity as a whole, then they’re some of the most ethical people in their world.

    The Ethics Committee is actually one of the most powerful entity in the SCP Foundation. Not even the Administrator and the members of the O-5 Council are exempt from the decisions of the Ethics Committee. The best example I heard explaining this is to think of the SCP Foundation as a corporation. The O-5 Council are the most senior executives of the corporation, the Administrator is the Board of Directors, and the Ethics Committee is the Legal Department or Human Resource Department. The legal/human resource department are below the level of the executives or director board in terms of overall power and authority, but when an executive or a board member is contemplating doing something that might be illegal or against corporate policy, these departments have the authority to review the proposal and to accept of deny it. Also, when a questionable act is committed (such as committing sexual harassments in the workplace, disclosing confidential information/trade secrets, accepting donations, i.e. bribes), these departments have the authority to investigate the incident and to take disciplinary actions against the party that committed the act.

    1) how did SCP 001 EX claim mission over without neutralizing SCP 682??
    2) is Calvin lucien the current 05 - 1??
    3) how was the selection to ethics committee made??
    4) what are the different structures of the ethics committee?
    5) the administrator is a part of the o5 council or the ethics committee??

      1) either they did kill it or scp 001 EX dumped someone in taco meat and have them run 3 laps around a baseball field filled with orangutans
      2) I DONT KNOW NANI?!
      3)they were voted in via the EU and other nations if i remember correctly.
      4) i think its normal with each nation appointing one person per but i dont know who leads it
      5) no clue
