Wife-Poisoner Hired as Ethics Lecturer: Medical ethics lecturer Piers Benn told Reuters criminal convictions and teaching ethics were not necessarily mutually exclusive.

"But I can't see any logical contradiction between being able to think about ethical questions and being able to do rather criminal acts."
