I think if you asked people who cheat if it was ethically wrong, they would admit it cheating is indeed unethical.

But we are really great about rationalizing away ethical issues. I suspect is a good grade is worth more than a personal sense of ethics.

As much as a med school wants ethical students, they want students with 4.0s more.

Then we are lost. Someone willing to cheat to get good grades will cheat in many other ways.

Perhaps, but I don't think that's actually true.

Cheating in school is just an easier or more assured way to get a better result. When you find a way to do things better in non-academic settings, you get rewarded.

Things that are truly unfair are regulated and tested for with steep penalties.

I think most people would admit the academy is a bizarre place with rules that don't really apply in other contexts. In school it matters that _you_ came up with a solution. In most other contexts, it just matters that you have a solution.
