Your friend shows you some books he took from the bookstore without paying for them. When you question him about it, he says, "Sure, I took them. But I'm no different from anybody else around here. That's how we all manage to get through school on limited funds. I'll be a better medical professional because of all the knowledge I gain from these books."

Answer the following with your own thoughts:

1. Do you agree or disagree with his rationalism? Why or why not?

2. What do you say to him?

3. What ethical principles/theories discussed are applicable in this case?
