Just because there's a professional organization that pushes a set of ethics, does not mean they will be anything resembling the type of ethics you are envisioning. Building tools, your ethics generally get framed with regards to your client - not the subjects your tools will be used on.

Traditional engineerings have longstanding concepts of ethics, plenty of professional organizations, and even professional licensure. This does not stop mechanical engineers from adding to USG's weapons disparity or civil engineers from constructing more profit-center cages.
