The site has changed, but the Saturday Scruples<\/a> stays the same. Well, no, it actually changes each week, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n

1. You’ve agreed to sublet your apartment to someone. Someone else offers you an extra %50 a month to give it to her. Do you?<\/b><\/p>\n

If I’ve signed something (which I would do in any actual sublease arrangement) — or even shaken hands on it — then no. A deal’s a deal.<\/p>\n

2. Your boss congratulates you for a brilliant suggestion and hints at a promotion. A subordinate gave you the idea. Do you mention this to the boss?<\/b><\/p>\n

Hrm. Yes, I would. I would at least share <\/i>the credit.<\/p>\n

3. You’re a college basketball star with high grades. An infertile couple offers you $4000 to donate semen\/an egg. Do you agree to do it?<\/b><\/p>\n

Heck, I’m distracted for the moment by the idea of being a collee basketball star …<\/p>\n

Yeah, I probably would. I might even do it now, if someone were that interested in my genes — and if I were convinced that the couple in question (regardless of why they’re “infertile”) would do a good job of raising a child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
