Engineers and doctors are driven to abide a code of ethics because they don't want to kill people. If there was software which was safety critical (maybe NASA code), then I'm sure that the developers would have the same kind of ethics.
I'm a power systems engineer involved in designing offshore oil and gas facilities. We frequently have to shoot down dangerous hare-brained schemes from clients who want to save a little cash. Thank god for the national standards though, they usually back us up. Which is another thing - failure to adhere to standards is a legal offence (especially if the oil rig explodes).
