The Ethicist: Online Cry for Help

Date: July 27, 2007
Author: Randy Cohen
QUOTE: [1]...A young man e-mailed me saying that his mom beats him up...Should I advise forum moderators, who have his personal information? [2] At the medical school I attend, we were assigned sites for [a] course, some of which are an hour’s drive away. We are permitted to trade sites among ourselves. One student offered $50 for a swap. The deans threatened him with an official letter of unprofessional conduct, although he violated no explicit rule. Was he unethical to offer to pay for an easier commute?
