Is it wrong to answer a question with a lie when
1. The answer is none of the questioner's business
AND
2. To attempt to dodge the question would arouse suspicion
AND
3. To answer the question truthfully would cause some harm
For example, suppose a woman needs to take some time off for fertility treatment. If her boss asks why she is taking time off, is it okay for her to lie about what she will do with the time?
