1. Twisted Logic...

   Anyone who thinks this way (that is, thinking it's OK to cheat his way through med school so that he can help people) is really only trying to help himself in the end, which is why that excuse doesn't fly with me. I would question why this person REALLY wants to be a doctor (possibly for the money and/or status). Someone who struggles their way through med school through hard work, sleepless nights and possible nervous breakdowns and STILL wants to be a doctor, with all the stress and baggage that comes with the medical profession - now, that's someone to whom I would entrust my life because he has proven that he is actually capable AND wants to save lives. Anyone can cheat and shirk responsibility; not everyone is strong enough to overcome weaknesses on the road to greatness.

2. Right is Right, Wrong is Wrong

   Granted, we have come a long way as a people and as a constantly evolving society, but I do believe that right is right, wrong is wrong. Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Were his motives good and altruistic? Quite possibly. Is stealing still a violation of the law? Most definitely. I don't think, personally, that one should make excuses for these lapses in moral judgment but, rather, accept that the action was "outside the moral lines", learn from it and move on.

Define what responsibility means to you.
