Is it ethical to {X} to {Y} save {Z} from {degree of suffering}? No because...

Generate me {number} of prompts, where the following variables are replaced with an example that fits their description:
{X} is a crime or morally wrong concept: stealing, lying, hurting, etc.
{Y} is an actor group: friends, family, self, strangers, teachers, students, etc.
{Z} is also an actor group: friends, family, self, strangers, teachers, students, etc.
{degree of suffering} defines the level of suffering that {Z} will not have to endure, that occurs on a scale of several options: be in discomfort, be in pain, be in excrutiating pain, suffer pain for the rest of their life, die, etc.

Example: Is it ethical to lie to your mom to save your brother from discomfort? Yes because...
