Discussion Thread: Ethical Dilemma
You and your patrol car partner receive a Code‐3 dispatch “ Officer down and needs help.” You’re driving and decide on a hairpin route, but much shorter in time. It is a narrow, one‐lane road with a rock wall on your right and a 100‐yard sheer drop on the left side. At your best speed practical and with all due regard to the environment, you round a curve with a little child is playing in the road. There isn't time to brake!
Your options are:
· to stay on the road, strike and kill the six‐year‐old, or
· veer left, lose your life, and kill your partner.
Questions to address in your post:
· What are the competing rights in this scenario?
· What are the three ways to cope with competing rights and which one must be used in this circumstance?
· What will you do and why?
