, 1998), 235.34 Diane Vaughn, The Challenger Launch Decision: Risky Technology, Culture, and Deviance at NASA(Chicago: University Press, 1996).35 It should be noted that such an interpretation is no longer unanimously accepted. Vaughn, who coinedthe term ‘amoral calculation’ (previous footnote), argues persuasively that the well-accepted interpretationof the Challenger tragedy as a result of engineers being unwilling to strongly voice their opinions and themanagers being unwilling to listen to the engineers is over-simplified and misleading. See both Vaughn’sThe Challenger Launch Decision and Lynch and Kline’s “Engineering Practice and Engineering Ethics.”36 Derek Parfit, Reasons and Persons (Oxford: University Press, 1984), 381-387.
