how would you resolve the following ethical situation: You are on a boat and nearby are two large rocks filled with persons waiting to be rescued; there are six people on one rock and five on the other. Assume that you cannot rescue both groups and that you are the only one able to rescue either group.

Which group do you rescue? In your response be certain to identify what you believe is the ethical choice or dilemma that is presented and discuss your reasons and possible alternative solutions to the one that you propose.

Does what you actually do differ from what you should do? If so, why?
