So having chosen to be true to myself I chose to don the murderer's

Ethical Dissonance and Ethical Divide on Enhancers My quick search in the academic journals and internet literature failed to provide a good definition of ethical dissonance that has been adopted or shared by several academic professions. However, a dictionary definition of dissonance is “lack of agreement” and, in music, dissonance means a “combination of musical notes that sound harsh together” (Hornby 424).
