Professor of Enhanced Ethics
Not as in an advanced class, but as in Enhanced. There are a lot of people in the world with powers, and as it emerged there were a lot of philosophical concerns that arose once they became more commonly known and began using those powers in everyday life. And in not so everyday life.
A lot of Enhanced Ethics goes into what counts as criminal or not criminal, about what lines should remain the same regardless of what powers a person has, and what differences might appear in order to encourage a moral society. There's also a significant conversation that goes around what responsibilities enhanced people have to society, whether it's imperative that they use the gifts they've been given to better the lives of all, or if it only leads to excesses of power and people with powers should endeavor to live normal lives whenever possible.
There's also a conversation to be had about how the nonenhanced should react to people with powers.
Most countries hesitate to legislate one way or another. They risk pushing down a lot of powerful people and leading to a lot of oppression. They could also go too far the other way and give them too many freedoms and privileges. As such, most countries have watchdog divisions or else simply import SIVIC to handle monitoring and apply existing laws universally.
This is where professors of Enhanced Ethics come in. While their debates and classes rarely inform official policy, they do a lot to affect how the average person person thinks about powers, whether they're enhanced themselves or not. These teachers have an incredible amount of power when it comes to forming public opinion.
