Hello everyone! Today I come with a moral post haha.
A moral dilemma is a brief narrative in which a problematic situation arises that presents a conflict of values, since the moral problem they exhibit has several possible solutions that conflict with each other. This difficulty in choosing a behavior requires a moral reasoning about the values that are at stake and requires a reflection on the degree of importance we give to our values.
Since the values and the moral of each one come into play a lot. I recommend not saying what they would do in each case.
10. Maritime salvation
You travel on a ship that has an accident. Along with 30 survivors, you go ashore in a lifeboat, but the boat does not support so many people and it is decided to keep only 7 people in it. Do you think it would be morally permissible to save some people from throwing others overboard, especially seeing that, otherwise, the whole world will drown?
9. Pain of a loved one
You have a loved one who suffers from a debilitating and debilitating disease that makes you suffer from unbearable and agonizing pains. They have tried all possible solutions, medical and alternative and nothing .. Finally, this person with such end to so much suffering decides to die. However, his condition is such that he can not do it on his own. He asks you to please help him to die. You, knowing that this is illegal, would you help him?
8. Child slave
You are a slave boy in Africa and you work 20 hours a day making carpets. One night, he has a dream: God descends from heaven and tells him that nobody, not a person in the world, will buy those rugs. How would you feel? Disappointed and distressed by both work and suffering, or, satisfied because no one will benefit from their abuse.
7. The fat man
An uncontrolled tram is heading towards five people. You are on a bridge over the track and could stop the train passing by throwing a large weight in front of it. While this is happening, only a very fat man is found beside him; In this way, the only way to stop the train is to push the fat man from the bridge onto the track, ending his life to save another five. What would you do?
6. Money thrown away
You and your family live in a very poor country. Their savings are over, they have no food and their family dies of hunger. One day, you are trying to find some kind of food to feed your family, when something happens. You find a big sack full of money that has fallen from the back of a truck. That money would be a fortune for his family, but there is an obvious drawback. That money obviously belongs to another person, and using it for his family would be to steal. You could ask your landlord for a favor, but surely you will not believe it is for your family, then ... Would you return the money, or would you take it to use for your family?
5. The sleepover
A while ago, her 14-year-old daughter made a sleepover with her best friend and both had a great time. Now, her daughter asks her to perform another sleepover, but with a male friend. Neither his daughter nor he is seen as a couple, but you are still unsure about whether something might lead to their having sex. You do not want to distrust your daughter, but ... should I leave her?
4. The cure
You and your best friend were stranded on an island. Both are infected with a deadly virus. They find a medicine that can cure them, but it is not enough for both of them. How would you and your friend choose who should be saved? Would you still take it with the charge of conscience of having let it die? Would not anyone take it?
3. The kidnapped daughter
You are a judge presiding over the trial of a suspected bank robber, which you know is innocent. However, something terrible in his life has happened: The enemies of the thieves have kidnapped his 9-year-old daughter and keep her hostage. You do not know where they are and the police have tried to locate you without success. She is afraid that the kidnappers may be abusing her or even torturing her. The kidnappers left an anonymous note saying that if you condemn the thief, they will release your daughter. What would you do?
2. The paramedic
You are a paramedic who is going to help a dying child who has suffered a car accident. On the way, a loved one, whom you love very much, suffered an accident too and with medical assistance may survive. However, if you are going to help your loved one, the child may die and the other ambulances will surely not arrive in time for any case. What would you do: would you go help your loved one or the child?
1. Sophie's decision
This dilemma is a real fact. You and your children are prisoners in World War II. They are in a concentration camp. The manager tells him that he must choose one of his two sons to send him to the gas chamber. If you do not choose, you will take them both. What would you do in that situation?
