4.2013 August 3, “Boundary problems”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8847:
Economics is a messy discipline: too fluid to be a science, too rigorous to be an art. Perhaps it is fitting that economists’ most-used metric, gross domestic product (GDP), is a tangle too. […] But as a foundation for analysis it is highly subjective: it rests on difficult decisions about what counts as a territory, what counts as output and how to value it. Indeed, economists are still tweaking it.

In good conscience, innovative assaults on the inmate, such as lobotomy and electroshock therapy, could be added to other "treatments," such as coercive custodial care, deadening routine, water cures, and strait-jackets.
3.1997, Ian Shapiro, Will Kymlicka, Ethnicity and Group Rights, page 90:
Just as dissenters should be free to dissociate themselves from beliefs and practices (and so, communities) they cannot in good conscience embrace, so should communities be able to dissociate themselves from those who do not wish to conform to their ways, and whom they cannot, in good conscience, tolerate.
4.2016, Heinrich Meier, On the Happiness of the Philosophic Life, page 141:
For if “the good work” keeps him dependent and weak, it is no longer good for Rousseau, and if it is not good for him, he cannot do it in good conscience.
