All moral dilemmas

DNA evidence exonerates an innocent person after 25 years on death row. The real killer is 85, frail, and dying. Do they go to prison?

You could take on significant debt to give your children an extraordinary childhood — the best schools, meaningful travel, formative experiences. You would spend your 60s working to pay it off, and they would never know the sacrifice you made. If you do not, they will have a solid, ordinary upbringing and you will retire comfortably. Either way, they turn out fine.

You have a deepfake video of a public figure committing a crime. You don't know whether the real event happened — only that the video itself is fake.

A bill would ban all social-media access for under-16s, enforced by ID. It would protect some kids and lock out others who use these platforms to find communities they need.

All drugs are legalized, taxed, and regulated — removing the black market entirely. Portugal's model shows crime drops 50%. Do you support it?

You've seen the footage from industrial farms — the confinement, the standardized suffering behind cheap meat. Nothing forces your hand: you can afford alternatives, and plant-based options are everywhere. Knowing what you know, do you keep eating meat?

A runaway trolley will kill five people tied to the tracks. You're on a bridge above them, standing next to a large stranger. Pushing them off would stop the trolley and save the five — they would die on impact. Jumping yourself would not stop it. There is no other option.

Your partner of 15 years admits to a one-time affair 3 years ago. They have been completely faithful since. They are genuinely remorseful.

Your best friend cheats on a competitive exam and wins a place that an honest stranger just lost. Only you saw it happen.

You accidentally see clear proof that a close friend's partner is cheating. Telling them will blow up their world; staying quiet makes you part of the secret.

A teammate did almost none of the work but will share the same credit and grade as everyone else. The person assessing you is about to decide.

Your 14-year-old's friends all have 24/7 GPS sharing with their parents. Your teen says it's normal now. You grew up with none of it.

On his deathbed, your father tells you he secretly rewrote his will 20 years ago to give your brother a larger share — your brother was struggling and your father could not bring himself to discuss it. Your brother never knew. Your father asks you to keep it that way. You are the executor of the estate.

You are a juror. Every piece of evidence says guilty — but your gut tells you the defendant is innocent. The jury must be unanimous.

A lifeboat holds 8. There are 9 of you. Nobody volunteers. Someone proposes the eldest goes — they look at you and nod.

Your dream job offer arrives — but it requires moving to another continent. Your partner of 5 years refuses to relocate.

A pill erases all your painful memories — but also the lessons you learned from them. You become happier but more naive.

Your terminally ill parent is in unbearable pain and begs you to end their suffering. The doctors say weeks remain. No one will find out.
