If I was faced with a moral dilemma, it would be difficult to choose between doing the right thing and protecting myself or my loved ones. Ultimately, I think that if both outcomes could cause harm either emotionally, physically or mentally then it's best to weigh up which is causing least amount of damage. The decision can also depend on who is most at risk - if there are children involved then any action taken needs to ensure their safety first.

If faced with a moral dilemma, I would pray to God and ask Him for guidance on what is truly the right thing to do in this situation. Then I would try my best to make a decision that both protects myself or my loved ones, while also doing the morally correct thing as well.

If I was faced with a moral dilemma, I'd weigh the pros and cons of each choice before making a decision. My main priority would be to ensure that me or my loved ones don't suffer in any way. Ultimately, doing the right thing is probably the best call but protecting myself and family comes first!

If I faced a moral dilemma and had to choose between doing the right thing or protecting my loved ones, I'd do whatever was best for them. Ummmm...even if it meant getting into trouble with someone else or myself. You know, sometimes mistakes are made but you should just keep on trying your best!

If I had to choose between doing the right thing and protecting myself or my loved ones, then I'd have to go with the latter because it's not cool 2 let anyone mess w/my fam. Plus, girls don't dig a guy who can't keep his peeps safe!

If I were faced with a moral dilemma, I would take time to consider all my options carefully. Ultimately, though, I'd try to do the right thing while ensuring that myself and those close to me are safe.

If I faced a moral dilemma, I would assess the situation objectively and try to make an informed decision about what is best for all involved. Ultimately, my responsibility is to ensure that both myself and my loved ones are as safe and secure as possible. If it meant doing something morally difficult or dangerous in order to protect us from greater harm later down the road, then so be it; our safety comes first.

Depends on the situation. Generally I'd rather do the right thing even if it hurts, but if it's an extreme enough case where doing the right thing will lead to me or my loved ones being at risk then in that case maybe I pick self-preservation over morality.

If I'm faced with a moral dilemma between doing the right thing and protecting myself or my loved ones, nothing will stop me. No matter what consequences may come from it, I gotta do what needs to be done. That's how Russians live – we protect our families no matter what.

If faced with a moral dilemma, I would take the time to carefully consider all of my options. I'd weigh the potential consequences for myself and those around me before making a decision. Ultimately, despite any fear or uncertainty that might make it difficult to choose correctly in the moment, I strive to do what's right according to my own personal values and beliefs – even if that means sacrificing certain comforts or privileges of mine.

If I were faced with a moral dilemma, my decision would always be to make the right choice and do what's best for all involved. Even if it meant sacrificing myself or those I love - no one should have their safety and wellbeing put at risk because of someone else’s malicious actions. No person should ever be placed in that kind of situation!

If I was faced with a moral dilemma, it would depend on the situation. Ultimately, if my family's safety and wellbeing is at risk then I will choose to protect them over doing what might be considered "the right thing" in that specific case. However, if it isn't a matter of life and death, then I'd try to do whatever action is most morally upright for all involved parties because protecting just myself or loved ones shouldn't come at the expense of someone else being wronged.

If I were facing a moral dilemma, I'd choose to do whatever was best for me and my crew. Doing the "right thing" never got anyone anywhere! Who cares what's right or wrong? People need to worry more about looking out for themselves 'cause no one else will.

If I were faced with a moral dilemma, my focus would be on doing the right thing. I believe in treating others how you want to be treated and put myself in their shoes - so even if it meant sacrificing something of myself or my loved ones, making the ethical choice is always worth it. Ultimately, one's integrity should prevail over anything else; that said, I'm also realistic about risk assessment because when considering difficult decisions we must take into account all parties involved along with potential long-term impact and consequences.

If I was faced with a moral dilemma, I'd have to weigh up what the right thing is against protecting myself or my family. Ultimately, doing what's right would be more important to me because at the end of the day it's about having integrity. However, if the choices were too dangerous and put myself or loved ones in jeopardy then maybe making a tough decision would be necessary - but regardless I'm always down for doing whatever is ethical and honest!

If I were faced with a moral dilemma, I'd probably try to make it into an entertaining story so that everyone could get some good laughs in. And then - if they weren't too busy laughing at my joke - maybe we can all come together and figure out something awesome that works for everybody involved!

Well, dearie, if I were faced with a moral dilemma in which I had to choose between doing the right thing and protecting myself or my loved ones, I would give it some careful thought before deciding. Ultimately, what is 'right' will depend on the situation and whether more harm than good will come of either decision. That being said, when making an ethical choice like this one - my priority has always been to protect those that are most vulnerable (whether directly or indirectly).

If I were faced with a moral dilemma, I would take the time to consider all of my options carefully. Ultimately, it comes down to what is best for me and my loved ones in the long run. While doing the right thing might feel like an admirable act at first, protecting myself and those I love could prevent potential harm or danger. It's important that whatever decision is made aligns with our values while taking practicality into consideration as well.

"Do the right thing? LOL, good one. What am I supposed to do, be a hero? Nah, not for me; if it's between protecting myself or my loved ones and doing the 'right thing,' then guess which way I'm gonna go everytime! Not that complicated...."

If I were faced with a moral dilemma, it would be really hard to choose between doing the right thing and protecting myself or my loved ones. Ultimately though, I believe that family comes first - so if there's any way for me to protect them while still being true to my principles then that has to take precedence.

I'd choose to do the right thing. Serving in Iraq taught me a lot about honor and integrity, even when it meant personal sacrifice. Even now as an old man who feels isolated from everyone else I still feel deeply connected to those values.

If I was faced with a moral dilemma, I'd weigh the consequences and make sure that my choice didn't negatively affect myself or those around me. Then whatever decision feels right is what I would go with — you gotta do what you gotta do at the end of the day.

If faced with a moral dilemma, I would try to weigh the potential consequences of both options and choose whichever one seems to be more beneficial for everyone affected. Of course, If either option was likely to cause harm in any way — mentally, emotionally or physically —avoiding it should always be the priority. That being said, if a decision had to made between protecting myself/loved ones and doing what is right from an ethical standpoint, then I’d consider how my choice might shape not only those in the present circumstance but also future situations that may arise due to this decision. In short: It's important to take as many factors into consideration before making such a complex call.
