So there is a company selling bullshit miraculous devices which they claim can heal everything from foul breath to cancer and autism by light and magnetic pulses. They trick old, naive, gullible, ignorant or simply stupid people into paying big money for their stuff which is always "on sale, just now just for you".

The question is: if they would ask you to build a website for them (which would help their shady business grow) would you refuse their actually pretty generous offer because of moral reasons, or do it like any other job?

(I know my answer, I'm just curious about others' opinions.)

    @hube yeah, this makes the situation tricky. If someone will eventually make it, why wouldn't it be me? On the other hand though, if I make it, I'm actively helping them which is at least morally questionable.

    And while it would be lovely to play some tricks on them with the site, there would be some kind of contract I'm sure, and if they found out I did it, things wouldn't go in my favour.

    As long as the business isn't illegal, I'd probably do it. It's not up to me to make people research their purchases.

    Well I mean can you prove that its bullshit? (the methods I mean). Many people in my family use alternative medication and so do i.
    But taking way too much money for it is not okay imo! I wouldn't take the job, yes someone else will so that wouldn't make it my conscience!

    I did work on a site like that once. The questions were crazy. It was troubling. Not sure i would want to do it again. Hmmm.

    @linuxxx if a so-called healing method contradicts science and common sense, I think it is safe to call it bullshit.

    @IAmNotARobot Agree except for if it genuinely works imo.
