- Subject: RE: handwashing ethics
- Lines: 7
-
- if you are secretly observing people in restrooms I think that there is
- a clear ethical problem. There have been lawsuits (successful) related
- to such spying. Some of the spying in the lawsuits has been for
- voyeristic reasons and also for security reasons (retail stores, etc).
- I wouldn't be comfortable doing a study like that unless the handwashing
- area was clearly seperate from the toilet area. Some restrooms do have
- a seperate lounge area with sinks. -- gary carson
