Why this dilemma matters
There is no clean answer here — the dilemma forces a trade between two legitimate moral claims. Choosing “Yes. Repair without truth is incomplete” prioritises a more principled outcome; choosing “No. More damage may not help anyone” gives more weight to a more pragmatic outcome.
Worth asking yourself
- Which value should matter more here?
- Would you defend this choice to someone affected by it?
