Resolving Ethical Issues When Conducting Sexuality Education.

Ethical issues about conducting sexuality education often arise. This paper describes one system of ethics and how the sexuality educator can use that system to determine whether an action is moral or immoral and, therefore, the appropriate action to take for that sexuality educator to be consistent with his or her values. Ethical principles are presented along with examples of potential ethical dilemmas. Examples of common ethical issues related to the conducting of sexuality education are given. Two examples are used to show how ethical dilemmas can be resolved using this system of ethics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
