 Since lying is pro tanto wrong any specific lie can turn out to be justified if there are reasons that outweigh the ones making it wrong. And defenders of paternalistic lies argue there are sometimes harms avoided or goods produced that outweigh the harms of lying. Anti-paternalists argue that such calculations fail to take into account that lies interfere with important values such as the autonomy, liberty, and rationality of the person and these values may outweigh the harms avoided or goods produced.
