    Ethical Case Analysis: Read the following then determine what is asked for.

    There is a train that, much to your horror, is about to run over your beloved grown up son, who has been
    tied to its track. It just so happens that you have just enough time to flip a switch that will send the train
    down a different track, saving your son. However, tied to the other track, is your granddaughter, the
    daughter of the very son in danger of being run over. Your son is begging and pleading with you not to
    flip the switch, not to kill his daughter. What would you do?

    A. What is the MORAL ISSUE? What makes it a moral issue?


    - the moral issue is the son and her daughter that has been tied in different track. The
    thing that makes it a moral issue is that there are something that might harm them and
    there are consequences that can harm to the person that are going to be their
    superhero.
    B. What is the MORAL DILEMMA?
    - the moral dilemma in this situation is choosing who you are going to save between
    your son or his daughter, because moral dilemma is conflict or morals, where you are
    forced to choose between two or more options and you have a moral reason to choose
    and not to choose each option.
    C. What is your DECISION?
    - my decision is I will save first his daughter before going to save him, because I think
    there are possibilities that if I save his daughter, he will save his self and make him more
    stronger. I think there are still more time to save him before he die.
    D. What is your justification for your DECISION?
