You are part of a development team that is responsible for converting data from a legacy (already existing) system so that the data can be incorporated into a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. During the process of examining the existing system and its data, you discover that several country location fields were mismanaged by the existing software, resulting in the company selling GMO (genetically modified organism) seeds not explicitly listed or labeled as being GMO in the affected countries. GMO seeds are completely unregulated in some countries, regulated and legal in others as long as they are labeled as GMO according to local regulations, and completely banned in yet others.  Question:Based on the Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, how (in general terms) are you supposed to react? Cite at least four points/sub-points that apply to this situation
