assume there is no law ( common law) against the selling of fake doctors notes to students as pointed out by Isabel Edwards in the case study. do you agree with Isabel Edwards that what she is doing is 'therefore ethical'? explain your answer
Just because something is not specifically prohibited by law does not mean that it is ethical. Selling fake doctor's notes to students undermines the integrity of academic institutions and violates the trust that students, teachers, and employers place in the authenticity of those notes. It is essentially a form of academic dishonesty that helps students evade responsibility and potentially cheat their way through their education.
Ethical behavior goes beyond simply following the letter of the law. It involves considering the consequences of one's actions and the impact they have on others. In this case, Isabel Edwards is enabling dishonest behavior and compromising the credibility of academic qualifications. Therefore, I do not agree with her assertion that what she is doing is ethical.
