UFie Ethics 101 by Naruki2006-11-19 12:55:59
  85 by hyzenthlay 2003-06-02 09:47:16
(I just don't think I could resist bumping up an insurance estimate a bit.)

But I am confused about a couple of questions :

The porno one threw me. I do not see it as an ethics issue. That question seems to assume sex is 'wrong', and yet a later question asks about sleeping with a stranger in a bar. Is it always unethical to hide things you know your family dissaproves of from them?

The drug one was funny too. Is it asking if drugs are evil, or just if you let legality lead your ethical thinking?
