Why this dilemma matters
Survival dilemmas force a trade between short-term safety and long-term cost. Choosing “Autorizzare l'attacco, salvando i tuoi soldati e completando la missione militare a caro prezzo” prioritises protecting yourself first; choosing “Rifiutare l'attacco diretto, cercando un'alternativa più rischiosa per le tue truppe per rispettare la vita innocente” gives more weight to protecting others first.
Worth asking yourself
- Could you live with the outcome you skipped?
- Who pays the price you avoid?

- You can go back in time and kill one person as a baby — preventing a genocide that kills 10 million people. The baby is innocent.
- A plane is going down. There are 6 survivors but only 4 parachutes. You have one. Do you give yours up or keep it?
- Your group of 13 reaches a fortified shelter — already occupied by 8 strangers at capacity. They refuse to open. Your group includes children. You could force the door; they have no weapons.
