@Curiosity-Driven Just a personal opinion: I believe it's human nature to strive to achieve, and in doing so, if one encounters a moral dilemma along the path it would be situationally dependent as to what course of action one would take. One would have to weigh the option, immorality vs. positive impact, and it would be a loss whichever would eventually be selected. The question posited reminds me of the old: Would you sell your soul to the Devil, for...? question
