I decide how and where my genealogical skills or training will be employed,
and that may or may not be for a 'purely' genealogical purpose. I would not
accept any entity making that kind of decision for me. Same way I employ any
other training, education, or skills that I've acquired. If you want to
make a living from genealogical skills/training, it wouldn't be productive
to limit the ways in which you're willing to employ them.
And ultimately ethical choices are something each of us has to make
independently. I *choose* to accept and abide by certain ethical
guidelines, but if any part of a guideline ever conflicted with my own
personal ethical views, then I would reject that part. So far that hasn't
happened.
Skills transfer. Opening up to more possibilities only broadens the range of
those skills. Turning away from opportunities means losing chances to
broaden the scope of those skills.
