List Of Moral Dilemmas
Though it is highly unlikely that we would be faced with any moral dilemmas of such grave nature as the ones mentioned below, it would be interesting to find out how we would react to them. Imagine you are in these difficult situations, and see what your answer is to each one of them. |
Concentration Camp: As an inmate at a concentration camp, your son is going to be executed. The mean guard orders you remove the chair from under your son's feet and cause his death. The guard informs you that if you fail to follow his order, then he will not only kill your son but another innocent inmate. So, you end up with a moral dilemma -- cause the death of your son or save an innocent inmate?
The Accident: You are an emergency healthcare worker. You rush to an accident scene and are shell-shocked. The victims are your wife and her secret lover, both bleeding and stuck in your wife's car. Your wife is grievously injured and her chances of survival are very slim. Her boyfriend, however, has a less serious injury and immediate attention would take care of it. Whom do you attend to first?
Spam Filtering: You work as a network administrator in a big company, and it is your day-to-day responsibility to monitor emails. One day, you receive a request from your co-worker, who is the spouse of a close friend to allow her to receive an email. While going to through the mails, you discover that your co-worker is cheating on her husband, and the email is from her lover. You are not supposed to divulge official email records to an outsider, yet it kills you that your friend is being had. You are in a dilemma as to what to do.
