Would you rather: Moral & Ethical dilemmas
I love the 'would you rather' game. My daughter comes up with some very odd ones like would you rather eat a tree or be a dinosaur? Most of them are like that. Kids are silly. How about some moral and ethical would you rathers?
You will be successful in whatever you do as a career but one of your closest friends will never be successful and will always be a failure. Would you do it?
Your spouse has an incurable but not fatal disease that inconveniences both of your lives all the time. You are given a magic pill that will cure your spouse but they will hate you forever. Do you give them the pill?
You and your best friend work together. Your friend embezzles a lot of money and tells you about it. You promise not to tell anybody. An innocent coworker is charged for the crime. Do you rat your friend out?
You can reverse the effects of global warming with the press of a button but in doing so will kill all the dogs on Earth. Do yo press the button?
A genie will grant you 3 wishes but with every wish a kid that you don't know dies. Do you ask for the wishes?

Intriguing questions indeed! I'll address only the embezzling-friend one: "...An innocent coworker is charged for the crime. Do you rat your friend out?" It would depend on how many cows had been orked by this person, and whether it was consensual or not. I disapprove of embezzling but don't know what orking is, so I'd let the two of them work it out.
The first question doesn't fall into the moral/ethical debate. Success or failure is driven by choices each individual makes.
Spouse and magic pill. That almost sounds naughty. 😺 No to the magic pill. I can live with incurable and not fatal, but couldn't live with Himself hating me for trying to help.
Yup, I would rat my friend out for embezzling funds. It's the right thing to do.
I'm not a dog fan so I'd press the button. If it was a question of killing all the cats in the world, no way! 😺
Genie and 3 wishes. No.
Eat a tree or be a dinosaur. Well, I eat broccoli.That's like eating little trees so I'd like to be a dinosaur.
NO NO NO no no no nonononononono. Stop the unhappiness. Give every story a happy ending.
Love,
Janie
Talk about tough questions! So first off, I would be a dinosaur but one that eats trees. I would be a success and then Help out my friend..the Lard ass. I would give my spouse the pill so he would be pain free and then take a nice vacation. My friend would burn because that is no friend. She..or he would let an innocent person take the rap which means they would not be a true friend to me. Besides how disgusting is that. Sorry, climate change but I could not push the button unless I could dress every dog like a cat and trick the wish, but I would dress up Trump like a dog. I could never take the wishes unless I was living in the 1880’s and I knew the 3 wishes would blow up 3 kids I choose-Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini. Otherwise, I would but my last wish would be that no child dies from my 3 wishes
I didn't know Robin William's Genie carried a glock.
The only one I can truthfully respond to is if I would rat out my embezzling friend. You bet. S/he is no friend for putting me in that position in the first place.
The rest need a happier ending than any of these choices you have given us.
Wow, I'm not that nice a person!
If under all dogs you mean Killary, Tony Blair, Barrack Osama and similar creatures... then yes!
All dogs go to Heaven but I wouldn't be the one to send them there.
LOve the "would you rather" game. I often play with newbies by starting off with: "would you ever kiss an elephant's butt?" The answer is always no, but then I say, "I can make you say you will." After them insisting they would never, I ask, "would you rather kiss an elephants butt or lick a subway toilet. After much reprimanding me for even asking this disgusting question, they always answer "kiss an elephants butt. YES!!
Those are some pretty tough calls.
Maybe I'm getting old. I passed this test with 100% without even breaking a sweat!
My daughter loves this game as well. Here are my answers in the order asked.
I would work hard to gain my own success in what I am naturally good at.
This is a tough one - If it makes my spouse happy then I'm all for the pill.
No - Snitches get stitches!
I take the fifth on this one.
No, I'd politely decline the use of any wish.
#1 - the friend will always be a loser of his/her own making. you keep on truckin'!
#2 - spouse would take the pill and I would give it to him
#3 - turn that cheating fucker in to the cops!
#4 - no, I like doggies
#5 - nope, no wishes
I do not like these kinds of dilemmas, so I'll abstain. Although the last one is easy. No wishes for me. I might ask my brother about the second one. He and his wife are currently living that one...
No, I couldn't be truly happy knowing that my bestie wasn't. Her unhappiness is my burden as well.
I have an incurable but not fatal (right now) illness, so in my situation, I would never take the pill knowing that I'd hate my spouse forever. I wouldn't not give him one if the tables were turned either.
No, I would not turn in a friend. MYOB.
I can't imagine my life without a dog in it. If the planet is going down, we're all going down with it, including dogs.
No. I would never choose my happiness over the life of a child.
No to all!
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
No.
No.
Okay, time for lunch.
I can have peanut butter and jelly or a BLT. But, there's poop on the BLT. Which would I rather eat?
BLT.
Because...bacon.

Really many thanks
Don't get too personal with the people you work with. It's best to keep things professional at all times with the people you come into contact with. Personal relationships can get in the workplace. Avoid the risk your position.satta king
