No. You can do the "right thing" and have bad consequences. Those are called moral hazard.

I think you missed the point of what he was saying there Jake.

The "right thing" to do can sometimes be the "better choice" out of two worsts, but on it's own, the act itself, can still be an unethical thing to do.

Let me give you an example.

If we had to sacrifice one man's life in order to save 100 others, then some would argue that killing the one man, under these circumstances, is the "right thing to do", because it saves 100 other lives.

But on its own, the killing of a man is still an unethical and "wrong" act.

The ends don't always justify the means. Question: is the right thing always ethical? Are there times when the "right thing" is unethical?
