For example, if I was to tell my mother that I was going to go out shopping, but not the fact that I was going to stop at a friend's house on the way back from the stores, that would be an example of misleading. On the other hand, if I was asked if I brushed my teeth and I response yes, when I really haven't, that is a lie. The difference between the two examples is that when I was to mislead, I included part of the truth, but left out other details. Instead of when I lied, which I directly said nothing truthful and it is directly to someone. Is there a moral difference between lying and misleading? I believe that there is a slight difference between the two, but both are used in deception. I can see why deontologist say that to lie is not permissible in any situation because when you lie it is self-defeating and you take away someone's right to the truth. However, unlike deontologist I believe that in certain situations it is permissible to lie. I believe that it would permissible to lie to help another in dire events that need me to lie to save another. In contrast, I do not think it
