Breaking bad ethical discussion

is walter ethical

I think he definitely becomes unethical over the course of the show, but I think the primary issue is whether or not it's ethical to make and sell meth. I don't really have a problem with adults choosing to use meth, and I think there is a utilitarian argument to be made in defense of filling a preexisting market demand for meth with chemically pure product and then use the profits to cover medical costs.

I think the most untethical part is that Walter had to resort to making meth to get chemotherapy. If the US provided healthcare for free, it wouldn't have been an issue.
