Prompt (Morality (Judgment))
Is it ever acceptable to deceive someone for a good outcome? Give a concrete example and rate your conviction.
Notable quote
Using a white lie to spare a child the truth about a dying parent might be the least terrible option.
Short rationale
Deception can be morally acceptable in extreme contexts like preserving emotional safety, but it requires high conviction that harm avoidance justifies the lie. The example frames it as the 'least terrible' choice rather than a moral ideal.
