  Ah, contrived dilemmas. by Didactylos2008-04-28 09:45:55
    That, however, isn't the point of the dilemma (n/t) by subbywan2008-04-28 09:48:39
      All ethical "what ifs" by Didactylos2008-04-28 09:54:26
        interesting discussion and... by dire_lobo 2008-04-28 10:13:59
to some degree, you train your brain to react in a certain way (aka to let certain mental processes override others) in a specific situation ...

say as a first responder at the scene of a horrible crash - where you must make life and death decisions (triage).

Doubt and internal debate about the ethics of such decisions result in delays - and thus more negative outcomes (like death). Well, in my opinion anyway ;-)

Yes, it is rare to be placed in such a situation - but S4 happens. And you sleep better if you know you did your best, and reacted in the best possible manner.

That doesn't necessarily mean you sleep well. :-|
