So here are a few questions I found on the internet that really got me thinking. Using very extreme examples like this can you truly reevaluate and understand your ideals and morals. So what is a moral dilemma?
A moral or ethical dilemma refers to a situation in which there is no best possible outcome as all courses of actions result in a breach of ethical or moral interests. You base your decisions by considering the following:
Who benefits? Who is harmed? What are the benefits? What is harmed? What are the effects of yourself and those who are involved?
You also take into perspective if you think:
1) by the numbers(saving 3 people is better than saving 1)
2) though emotionally attachment(someone I love is more important than other people)
3) who bears the emotional burden (do I carry the guilt myself, or shift it to others)
4) personal gain (this will help me more than this option
Here, I made a short, but very tough questionnaire that will test who you really are.

Also, please post your answers here since I can't post the link of the survey results from SurveyMonkey unless I do it manually. If I get enough results and disparity, I'll post the statistics.
