[QUOTE="bone_naga, post: 6214920, member: 85939"] I think we can all pretty much agree on the mind control scenario. So far no one has said otherwise. For mind-reading, that's a bit different. Sure it's murky waters at best, but is it really that different than all the other things people do to get laid? Some people are really good at reading body language or picking up on other cues and telling others what they want to hear. Some people go ask around (usually if they both share the same circle of friends) and basically research what that person likes so that they can make themselves a more ideal match. I'm not saying everything people do is ethical, but it does bring up a good question: how far is too far? This reminds me of a news article a while back where a woman in Israel accused a man of rape because he had lied and said he was Jewish when he was in fact Muslim. Now I really don't think it's the best way to go about things, but I also don't think it even approximates rape. So I see mind-reading in a similar fashion. Sure you won't get any gold stars that week for good behavior, but it's a pretty minor breach of ethics. [/QUOTE]
