Being ethical means conforming to certain moral principles. What moral principles? Logically, they should be principles of conduct of universal nature accepted forever. But it seems it is not what actually happens. Morality has greatly changed throughout the ages. What was vastly accepted at a certain time in history, was refused years later. What was scandalous yesterday is welcomed today. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. But, if history teaches anything, there may be a "moral revolution", as it happened in the Middle Ages in Europe as a reaction to the excessive freedom of customs. Or maybe not. Who knows? Time will tell if history really repeats itself.
