Don't know if this belongs in Emotions overflow, but here are a couple of moral dilemmas...................answer them and feel free to add more.


A Father's Agonizing Choice

You are an inmate in a concentration camp. A sadistic guard is about to hang your son who tried to escape and wants you to pull the chair from underneath him. He says that if you don't he will not only kill your son but some other innocent inmate as well. You don't have any doubt that he means what he says. What should you do?



On a lighter note perhaps....................The fat man

A fat man leading a group of people out of a cave on a coast is stuck in the mouth of that cave. In a short time high tide will be upon them, and unless he is unstuck, they will all be drowned except the fat man, whose head is out of the cave. [But, fortunately, or unfortunately, someone has with him a stick of dynamite.] There seems no way to get the fat man loose without using [that] dynamite which will inevitably kill him; but if they do not use it everyone will drown. What should they do?

chose the lesser evil. I don't know but killing one and saving many would be a good choice.

......if i have only that choices...then i'd rather sacrifice one life to spare more life......for a moralist view perhaps.

How about if your Mum and Dad can't swim but both have fallen into a lake from a boat?

You are a strong swimmer, who do you rescue first?

my mom.

I'll kill myself so I'll float and they can use me as a floater.

...syempre si mommy..wala na kasi si daddy.. :'( :'( :'(

Hindi kaya mahirap yan pre? Paano cla makakalapit sayo kung sakali malayo ka sa kanila?

Strong swimmer ka nga diba? Hindi ba pwede hatakin mo clang dalawa or unahin mo ung isa, tapos isampa mo sa boat tapos balikan mo ung isa 

di kasi talaga marunng si OL lumangoy. hehehehehe!!! piz OL..

Here's another but try and add some yourselves

A madman who has threatened to explode several bombs in crowded areas has been apprehended. Unfortunately, he has already planted the bombs and they are scheduled to go off in a short time. It is possible that hundreds of people may die. The authorities cannot make him divulge the location of the bombs by conventional methods. He refuses to say anything and requests a lawyer to protect his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination. In exasperation, some high level official suggests torture. This would be illegal, of course, but the official thinks that it is nevertheless the right thing to do in this desperate situation. Do you agree? If you do, would it also be morally justifiable to torture the mad bomber's innocent wife if that is the only way to make him talk? Why?

Yeah do whatever is necessary to the damn animal. All criminals are animals and should be treated accordingly... even if that means involving their loved ones... they brought it to themselves anyway. That's just my opinion since I have a passionate hatred for all scum.
