    Lesson 3. Moral Dilemma


    Activity 4
       1.  The Pregnant Lady and the Dynamite. Answer the following questions: 
        

    1. What would you do if you were one of the men? Explain why you decided to
    act that way? 10pts

    I will not allow the use of the dynamite and let the woman and her baby live.
    The action of the mother going in the cave is wrong but the baby deserves to
    experience life. At some point if the others will live by using the dynamite, it
    will lead them into facing the law by first degree or second-degree murder
    depending on the condition of the woman after the explosion.

              2. The situation or the experience you went through is a moral dilemma.


    What then is a moral dilemma? 

    A moral dilemma is a problem in the decision-making between two possible


    options, neither of which is absolutely acceptable from an ethical perspective.
    Ethical dilemma is a decision making problem between two possible moral
    imperatives, neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable.

              3. Is finding yourself in a moral dilemma, a moral experience? Why or why


    not?

    Finding myself in a moral dilemma is a moral experience because I have to


    make a decision which is either way wrong or right. It will be a battle between my
    conscience and what I believe in. It is an experience because of the pressure that I
    have to undergo just to come up with a decision that I think is best that can
    resolve the problem.

       2.   Compose your own moral dilemma.

    A cruise ship is sailing across the sea when it suddenly hit a buoy which caused
    the ship a lot of damage and may result into sinking. The cruise ship is composed
    of 12 people. Two of them are senior citizens, one is pregnant and the rest are
    members of the youth. The lifeboat can only load 10 passengers, who among
    them should be in the lifeboat?
