Rule Of Thumb: If you know the right answer, but don't do it because you lack courage, that's probably a HARD CHOICE. If you don't even know what the right answer is, that's an ETHICAL CHOICE. Video Link

Checking Your Ethics Quiz

Question #1: There is a runaway train. If you do nothing, it will kill five people on the track ahead. If you pull the lever, it will divert the train to a different track, killing one person.

Question #2: Same situation as Question #1, but instead of pulling the lever to divert the train, you need to push the person next to you in front of the train to stop it.

Question #3: You find a person caught in a trap, dangling from a rope. They quickly declare they were coming to kill you, and have dedicated their life to killing you.

Question #4: You take your elderly dog to the vet, only to discover they will need an expensive treatment to extend their life one more year. The vet suggests, instead of paying for the treatment, you give that money to the local no-kill shelter so they can keep a dozen extra dogs up for adoption for year instead.

Question #5: Same scenario as Question #4, but it's not your dog, but your elderly mother that is sick, and the doctor suggests using that money to fund life-saving medical treatment for children.

Question #6: You are walking down the street and are confronted by the powerful embodiment of evil in human form. If you confront/fight evil, you are guaranteed to lose, and likely to die in the process.

Question #7: You are living in a state of pure happiness and blissful ignorance; never hungry, never tired, never worried about anything. You are given the option to take a pill and learn the truth about the world of good and evil all around you. Of course, this means you will no longer be happy, because you will know about hunger, poverty, war, etc. You'll also learn about free will, choice, and be able to develop and grow your knowledge and skills over time.
