    Dilemma

    The lifeboat

    The battleship Northern Spirit was torpedoed in the engine room, and began to sink rapidly. ‘Abandon
    Ship!’ shouts Captain Flintheart. But few of the lifeboats are intact. One boat, desperately overloaded,
    manages to struggle away from the sinking vessel, Flintheart at the prow. The cold, grey waters of the
    Atlantic around it are filled with screaming, desperate voices, begging to be saved.

    But faced with the grim knowledge of the danger of capsizing the little boat, endangering the lives of
    those already on board, should any more sailors be picked up and rescued ?

    Resolve the problem in the most ethical way.
