Thanks for sending this TheEngineer. I recently post something similar. Most of the responses to my post was like; well you have no other choice so put her name on the paper anyhow... but I disagree. I think overall, adding some name on your paper is dishonest as the author of this article rightly said is form of "stealing authorship". We do not live in an ideal world but if we do not identify freaks, we may end up being one of them and that's something to worry about.
I am glad this issue is making it into mainstream media as well. Kim.
