Turtles are toxic; they secrete poison that may make your kids horribly sick.’The guy had his kids stop tormenting the turtle right away. Was this lie justified?” From a letter by David Weinrich, published in “The Ethicist” by Randy Cohen, New York Times Magazine, January 16, 2005 Assignment: Is lying acceptable or even obligatory at times? 5.
