Yes, I definitely think it is ethical to alter digital photos. Altering them can make them more creative and can make a seemingly nice picture a work of art. I believe that all pictures should be allowed to be altered. Some magazines and people may not use this tool for the best, but I don't think that people should have to have a "license" or something crazy like that to alter pictures. Those that work for magazines and could cause serious damage with Photoshop should be responsible enough to not use this power for the wrong reasons. So no, the answer does not depend on the reason for the alteration. Photographic integrity is harder to  guarantee by altering digital photos but once again that is up to the morality and honesty of the photographer.
