No matter his choices, I do not find ethical to make fun of someone in his situation. Some people here are idiots methinks.
Surely ethics pertain to a profession or group of people. Morality of course is more of a general thing but if we are discussing ethics as a group, then we must be referring to the ethics of getbiggers.
I think this thread is doing just fine. No getbigger ethical boundaries have been breached.
It's normal to make jokes about human suffering. That is distasteful to some but then taste is rather subjective.
So I call bullshit on ethical or moral breaches and say that all that's happened here is that you find it distasteful.
