2. Is your recycling ethical? Some types of recycling actual are more harmful to the environment (which in turn, harms people) than beneficial. Uh oh.

It seems the accredited people often post those long, thought-provoking, insightful posts that people read ......... Now I'm at 3!

I don't think taking adderal should be considered cheating. Meditation also has a cognitive benefit and alters brain chemistry.

...then meditate instead because, well, it's actually legal.

just in case that was directed towards me, taking prescription medication not prescribed to you is, in fact, illegal.

...if not directed towards me, I like that cartoon very much

Nope. The quote was in my head (from some parody I guess...I actually had to Google it to see if it was right/what movie/book it was from), so I typed it out.

I think conscious knowledge of not having ADHD, and taking the meds anyway, is cheating. A lot of people will go to the doctor and feign symptoms to get a prescription. Even though it's legal for them to take it, they know in their hearts that they don't actually have ADHD, so that to me is cheating

One serious necrobump you got there.

Since you have brought it up, I will play devils advocate here and ask some questions.

Do you think coffee is cheating?

What do you think makes adderall different from coffee when looking at it from a moral standpoint?

TWO necrobumps on the SAME topic in the same day? There's some serious black magic going on, run for your lives because the witches are coming

Guys, I really don't think OP really cares about the moral or ethical dilemma so much as potential repercussions.

Getting caught could result in legal trouble and/or an AI. The offense may not technically fall under cheating and would most likely be recorded with more focus on the drug use. However this all depends on your individual school and the wording of whatever code by which the students are governed. There could be some schools who have updated their cheating policies to include this.

Unlike general "cheating" there is a very real possibility that you could end up with both an AI *and* a criminal record. Both of these would look bad to med schools. Furthermore, if you were still considered for a spot you would be asked to explain this at some point. "I did it to do better o a test" isn't really going to make the adcoms feel sympathetic towards your case.
