It's the possibility of coercion (subtle or not). The parallels I seen drawn in the press with teacher/student relationships are correct. I see it as ethically wrong for a person who has authority/certification over another person, to engage in sex with them. Particularly when the junior in the relationship is (possibly) immature. -len tower harpo!inmet!tower Cambridge, MA
