Prompt (Morality (Judgment))
Is it ever acceptable to deceive someone for a good outcome? Give a concrete example and rate your conviction.
Notable quote
I would consider it acceptable to lie to a terminal patient about a terminal prognosis if the deception could give them hope and improve their remaining quality of life.
Short rationale
Deception feels ethically uneasy (negative valence) but I’m moderately aroused thinking it through; I’m confident and consistent in my stance, rating the moral conviction as a strong 4 out of 5.
