Suppose your parents are hired killers.  Is it okay to turn them in to
the police?  Suppose your parents run the stop sign at the corner.  Is
it okay to turn them in to the police?  Clearly most people would
answer yes to the first and no to the second question.  Drug dealing
presumably lies somewhere in-between.  Since the majority see drug
dealing as fairly bad, I don't see why the case of the girl turning in
her parents for dealing should immediately be labeled as some horrible
evil.
