Re: Ethical Dilemma

I guess it depends on your definition of ethical. I would think alot of people would agree that turning in work, in an academic environment, is on balance an unethical act for a variety of reasons (unfair to other students etc.).

I don't see why an "academic environment" deserves special treatment. I agree that taking credit for someone else's work without their permission is a little unethical. But here, the person doing the work doesn't want credit, he just wants a couple hundred bucks. It's not like the futures of everyone in the class will be altered if the kid gets an 86 on the paper instead of a 74 or whatever.
