In the short tale "Emperor's New Clothes" by Hans Christian Andersen, the Emperor hires the swindlers because he loves wearing fancy clothes and a important procession is around the corner. These two swindlers promised him "the finest, best suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who is unfit for his position or hopelessly stupid". Since the Emperor's ministers didn't want to admit that they could not see the clothes, they lied to the Emperor. Eventually, the Emperor lied himself too and as a result he went naked to the procession.

Sauron [17]
In my opinion, no. If it was okay, the human population wouldn’t be so big for one. Also it’s not right. Yes people will test the limits, but that doesn’t give someone the right to end another’s life for it.
