Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper assessing this scenario: A friend’s daughter is gay; she is staying in her mother’s house and has a friend staying there with her. Her mother does not know that the two women are sleeping together in her home. The paper discusses the philosophies of Kant and Mill as well as ethics of care to arrive at the conclusion that the would-be informer should not share the information with the mother. If the mother truly is unaware of the situation, she will know soon enough. If she knows already but refuses to acknowledge the situation, proclamation of it by a friend disallows her choice to “tune out” reality. At best, the informer’s information will not be new. At worst, the woman could adopt a “shoot the messenger” stance and the friendship could be compromised at a time that the woman may need a friend most. The would-be informer needs to remain silent. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

staying in her mothers house and has a friend staying there with her. Her mother does not know that the two women are sleeping together in her home.
Analysis of this case requires several assumptions. If either of the two individuals are under the age of consent, then of course the
situation should be exposed right away. They are assumed to be beyond the minimum age of consent, however, else there would be no case to consider.
The central issue has nothing to do with the sex of the individuals. The case is not affected by the fact that they are two
women. They could be a heterosexual couple, or they could be two men. Sexual orientation is not an issue aside from the fact that it likely enables the
two women to more easily deceive the owner of the home. Clandestine sexual activity between heterosexual individuals of opposite sexes would be more difficult to conceal in that they
