Blackface Ethics Robert Downey Jr. is donning blackface make-up in the new Ben Stiller comedy, "Tropic Thunder." It is an edgy choice, a controversial one, and, the filmmakers hope, funny. But is it wrong? Competition Ethics: The Human Body Part Rule Sprinter Oscar Pistorius runs on metal blades because he's miissing the bottom part of his legs. Is it fair that he should be banned from Olympic competition? The Ethics of Supporting the Sinner It is an understatement to say there was little sympathy for four Atlanta Falcons players when they were fined by the NFL for displaying tributes to Michael Vick during a nationally televised Monday night game. Clemens and Bonds: Together Forever When George Mitchell's report on his investigation into the use of illicit performance-enhancing substances by major league players revealed extensive steroid use by Roger Clemens and many other stars, an astounding number of commentators, both published and informal, reacted by saying this was good news for Barry Bonds. The idiocy of this conclusion is impressive, but reflects the same brain-dead, ethically-blotto logic that has followed this story from the beginning.
