The classic utilitarian scenario of taking one human life to save thousands (i.e. killing someone about to set off a bomb, or something more morally ambiguous like killing a sick person who might spread a new and dangerous virus if allowed to live)...

I think one should be the ethical dilema you had when you were supposed to write a paper about YOUR ethical dilemas, but instead were tempted to ask for outside help.

I figured this one would come up but, the main part of the paper is writing about what I would do in the situation and why I would respond in that way. I am just having some trouble with 32 situations to put myself in.

A classic:

A new vaccine for an uncommon, serious disease has been created. The guy who makes the vaccine is selling it for 100 times what it costs to make. You have a dying wife at home with this disease. You can't afford the vaccine, and the creator won't allow you to draft a payment plan. Do you steal the vaccine, and is it right to do so?

The biggest, worst, and most frustrating ethical dilemma that I see on a daily basis is FRATERNIZATION.

It's everywhere in the professional workplace. In private industry, the federal govt., the military, everywhere. It will completely bog down efficiency, financial flexibility, and the betterment of the organization/department. All because a director, supervisor, manager, or someone in leadership has a 'friendship' with someone, or gives preferential treatment to someone who's otherwise a parasite to the operation.

I can't count for the life of me how many times that a colleague less qualified, who has a fraternizing relationship w/ the 'leadership', get preferential treatment or go unpunished for wildly inappropriate behavior/actions/etc.
