How far do your design Ethics go?

If you're being asked to design the packaging for a food, you're supposed to make it feel like it's all healthy and fresh. But it's not. Will you?

If you're being asked to make it look animal friendly while it's definitely not.

If you're being asked to apply dark patterns. Like sneaking extra products in the basket, where if they don't watch out they don't just buy a phone, but also the extra headphones that appear free, but if you read better they're not.

If you're being asked to design an ad with a download button, that's very close to the intended product download. So that if they don't watch out, they download something from the ad, rather than what they were planning to download.

If you're asked to design something to appear free in the trial. But before they know it the user is tied to a subscription that isn't easy to cancel.

This is all very subjective. But what is your 'limit'. What will you do when your boss wants you to do this?
