3. Moral Dilemmas

   • You are presented with two or more actions, all of which you have the ability to perform. There are moral reasons for you to choose each of the actions.
   • You cannot perform all of the actions and have to choose which action, or actions when there are three or more choices, to perform.
   • Since there are moral reasons for you to choose each action, and you cannot choose them all, it follows that no matter what choice you make, you will be failing to follow your morals.
