For every profession I can think of that has a requirement to protect client confidentiality, professionals in training are instructed that the response to questions that would violate client confidentiality is "I'm sorry, but I cannot answer your question." One might even go so far as to say "without my client's explicit permission to do so." But lying is considered unethical for them.
I guess I misread your question, then; I thought you were asking if there were conditions under which it is ethical to conceal the truth.
One might posit that, if fiction or fantasy is lying, then entertainers and authors may ethically lie. Even there, though, the standard disclaimer "this is a work of fiction, etc." comes to mind; we require those who make their living by telling entertaining fabrications to state, up-front, that their stories are fabrications. |
