Thisis very interesting. I often think about these situations and discuss them with whomever wants to listen to my ramblings...

I try to live by my principles but some things you will just not know until you are actually in this situation.

Depends on the lie. (lying isn´t always bad according to my principles, only if you are hurting somebody else on purpose...)

I would work if it was written clearly in the product description so patients can make informed decisions. I would report them to the autorities if they would lie about it.

I would quit right away! But... if i would have 5 children and no other means of feeding them, i am not sure. I guess my children would come first although i would look for another job.
If it would just be about my children having a nice holiday and nike shoes, i would also quit right away.

Harm someone, no. Lying again only if it would not harm the other person.

No, no, no and no again. I can only hope to be as strong if it would ever become reality.

But, i would use whatever means needed to protect my family.
