I need a moral dilema (Europe, quote)

I need a moral dilema that i can use to discuss from different moral points of view, such as deontology. I need a specific case, any ideas?

You can see that your mother is about to push Jeffery Archer from the top floor of a building. You are standing at the bottom and only have a sniper rifle.

What should you do?

something that actually happened?

What about that scene in Spiderman where he has to choose between saving Mary Jane or the bus full of small children? Eh? That actually happened.

littleknowitall · 01-18-2007, 10:54 AM

actually that might do.

Serves you right for trying to get a serious answer from this lot.

Maybe the case of Terry Schiavo or Piergiorgio Welby.

Heres my suggestion:

If someone was hypnotised, and the hypnotist had sex with them, yet they were compliant, would it be rape if they're not mentally damaged afterwards?

Is that a real dilemma even? Of course it's not rape, the bitch asked for it!

But what if she didn't choose to be hypnotised?
