patient; I will maintain the utmost respect for human life, from the time of its conception, even
under threat, I will not use my medical knowledge contrary to the laws of humanity; I make these
promises solemnly, freely and upon my honor.

[14] Juramento para Estadísticos (1952)
Like Euclid and all the other great thinkers who have used symbols to reveal the truths of nature,
I will be a seeker of truth.
Realizing that numbers are only a shorthand convention for describing past events and forecasting
trends, I will search for those fats expressed in numbers which show relationships and
events most truly.
Though surrounded by clamor of the marketplace or of the political arena, I will not be a fraud,
who selects figures to prove chicanery and misnamed conclusion.
[15] Credo de los ingenieros adoptado por la National Society of Professional Engineers (EEUU), Junio de
1954.
As a Professional Engineer, I dedicate my professional knowledge and skill to the advancement
and betterment of human welfare
I pledge:
To give the utmost of performance;
To participate in none but honest enterprise;
To live and work according to the laws of man and the highest standards of professional conduct;
To place service before profit, the honor and standing of the profession before personal advantage,
and the public welfare above all other considerations.
In humility and with the need for Divine Guidance, I make this pledge.

As a scientist my highest value is truth. I am obliged constantly to search for the truth, and
to say what I believe to be the truth whenever I have the occasion.
As an intellectual I believe that the greatest human weal may be attained by using knowledge
and understanding.
As a teacher I have to place foremost the wise development of my students, not making
their growth subservient to my ends.
As a member of a profession I am bound by certain rules of conduct on which the majority
agree. I accept the fact that to violate these rules may injure the group to which I belong,
and this I should not knowingly do.
As a citizen I have certain work to do and responsibilities for the common good, and when
called upon I shall not evade my duty to state, country, and mankind.
