Does anyone feel like they're an immoral person?

I am not a moral person or a good person. Much like the rest of my ochem class, I actively cheated on homework. I've done homework for other people and gotten paid to do it. I don't mind insulting people or scaring the hell out of them. I've committed a variety of unsavory personal indiscretions. I am racist and a eugenicist, though I don't act on either.

It's a strange sensation. I care about people and donate to charity. I have moral outrage. I just enjoy being an dingus...though not in gaming. Most of my friends are good people. I'm not. So odd.

At least you're honest, I suppose?

The point of administering a test is to see how much a student learned. I understand that getting good grades is important for applying to medical school but they're not the main goal because they're supposed to show that you can understand concepts and apply them. It becomes a problem when people are taking easy classes for grade protection. There's nothing inherently immoral about getting help from your network (this is how the real world works).

Holy **** 3 likes from touchpause in one thread, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

I know. I felt kind of dirty after I did it. I read your post and was like "I agree with that! I'm going to like it" then I realized it was yours and was like

OP, you sound pretty normal to me. Nothing wrong with loving bitches and money. As long as you aren't hurting anyone else, who cares. BrainOnFire sounds like he has much bigger issues than you do.

Also, be careful of people who seem extremely "moral" on the outside. It's often a cover-up. Example: Craziest girl I ever dated was an evangelical christian. This girl had absolutely no morals whatsoever, but if you asked her about it, she would probably start quoting bible verses and praying for your salvation. lol

Here's a moral gray area for you: Say you have a friend who is anxious/hurt/unable to focus. Do you give them your Xanax/hydros/Adderall?

Pfft! No. Please don't just give anyone prescription medications. They can go to a doctor and get some themselves, and the physician will determine whether or not certain substances may be harmful to them, specifically.

How is this a gray area? Why would you give anyone your prescription drugs? That's like a felony

They're suffering. You have the prescription, so you can empathize. They're your friend.

This is also unbelievably common. Heard a conversation about all the leftover pills this woman had that would help her friend's back at Barnes and Noble last night

I would recommend them a psychiatrist and offer to take them.
I can be empathetic for my friend, but I can't prescribe them drugs.

I have Xanax, and I would never give it to any of my friends or family. It's not an OTC deal, it's a prescription med with a huge risk for abuse

I would hardly call being "anxious" and "unable to focus" suffering. If we had prescription drugs that could save a life otherwise doomed, I think most of us would not hesitate to share. However, this is much less common.

Besides, giving someone some of your drugs is a temporary fix, it does nothing to fix the root of the problem.

Just because it is common, doesn't make it a grey area or ethical. Plus, chances are, a person knows very little about their friend's medical history, or what else they may be on, so giving them meds that were prescribed for you, is a bad idea.

I absolutely do find this to be unethical, and I consider it cheating personally. Many professors reuse exam questions. I had one professor in college who was like this. By looking at old exams, you are obtaining an unfair advantage over your classmates, and if there is a curve, you are skewing it against other classmates who obtained their grades without an unfair advantage. At my school at least, a professor could easily report you and you would be expelled for this. The only time I think it would be fair game is if you asked the professor ahead of time, and even then I would personally feel badly about the advantage unless the materials were in the public domain.

Different strokes I suppose. If I cleared it with the professor I would have absolutely no qualms about reviewing old exams that were not in the public domain. More power to me for taking the initiative to get permission first.

Also, to the person who suggested the OP go into banking: LOL. A common theme I've noticed in my years of lurking SDN are that medicine attracts different types of personalities, and this is evident in the oft-quoted idea that there is a specialty for every personality type. It's naive to think that everyone going into med school all have the same moral compass.
