SITUATION ETHICS


Many years ago, I had a friend that told me this story -

Being young and perhaps a bit naive, she traveled to Washington D.C. to join the C.I.A. She wanted to serve her country and felt that she could make a difference. Before C.I.A. had gone very far with their interview - my friend was told that she would be fitted with a diaphragm and would be expected to sleep with people to get useful information. My friend was a religious woman and this went against her moral code - so she politely thanked them for their time and she went home.

My question is - what would you have done? If the nation's security was dependent on the information that you could obtain - would you do as she was asked?
