Yes, it can be ethical. If the name change is done to protect the privacy of the person, especially if the story involves sensitive or personal information. Also, in fictional stories, changing a name can be a creative choice to fit the fictional world better without causing harm to the real - life inspiration.
There are both ethical and unethical aspects to it. On one hand, in journalism or non - fictional writing where facts are important, changing a name without proper justification can be unethical as it may distort the truth. However, in fictional writing like novels or short stories, it is a common and generally acceptable practice. Writers often change names to create a more engaging or fictionalized account. For instance, a writer might change the name of a real - life acquaintance they met briefly into a more 'fictional - sounding' name for a character in their story, as long as it doesn't cause any harm to the acquaintance.
It can be a bit of a gray area. In some cases, it might be okay if it's done to protect the person's privacy while still getting the essence of the story across. For example, in a fictionalized account of a real - life event where the real name might cause unnecessary harm or unwanted attention to the individual.
It can be to fit the genre or setting of the story. In a fantasy story, a name like 'Gandalf' is more appropriate than a modern - day name like 'Bob'. So, changing someone's name to match the fictional world you're creating helps to immerse the reader in the story. Also, it might be to avoid any potential legal issues if the name is too similar to a real person who might object to being associated with the story in a certain way.
One potential consequence is that it could mislead the audience. If they later find out the real identity was changed, they might feel deceived. Another is that it could cause legal issues if the person whose name was changed feels their reputation has been damaged.
One important ethical consideration is getting permission. If you use someone's name without permission, it could be seen as an invasion of privacy. Also, you should ensure that using the name doesn't harm their reputation. For example, if you use their name in a negative or false context, it could lead to legal issues like slander or libel.
I'm not sure as I haven't read the 'sake story' specifically. There could be many different names for the cat depending on the context of that story.

No, it is completely unethical. Sexual orientation is a natural and fundamental part of a person's identity. Using hypnosis or any means to try to change it against someone's will is a violation of their autonomy and basic human rights.
It depends. In the world of publishing, it's common to hire ghostwriters, which is a form of paying someone to write a story. However, when it comes to personal or creative work where authenticity is key, it's not really ethical. For example, if you enter a writing competition and pay someone else to write your entry, that's cheating.
As I don't know the cat's name in the story, I can't say if there is a special meaning. But usually in stories, names can have significance, like reflecting the cat's personality or its role in the plot.
No, it is not ethical at all. Such behavior involves inappropriate and unethical actions that violate moral and social norms. In any relationship, respect, propriety, and ethical boundaries should be maintained.
