Abstract:
An ethical dilemma is a situation in which an individual needs to make a choice between two or more morally
acceptable options that he or she can reasonably and morally justify or existence of a problem without a
satisfactory resolution (Beauchamp & Childress 2001; Mc Connell 2002). In each scenario, one action must be
chosen because performing both actions would be impossible. The importance of ethical decision-making lays in
the fact that very different ethical choices regarding the same ethical dilemma can be made resulting in neither
choice being a “right or wrong” decision.
