[QUOTE="HELENz, post: 54588035, member: 191250"] Ok, so a hypothetical dilemma for you... In my Bible Study a few weeks ago, we were discussing ethics and morality (as usual). Somebody brought up the case of lying to protect someone's life. The ethical case study we used was short, simple and historical, as follows: [I]You are living during World War II. You are protecting/hiding a Jewish family in your house. An SS officer comes to your house looking for Jews. What would you do? Lying is considered a sin, but if you tell the truth the Jewish family could be killed. Would you outright lie to the SS officer to protect the Jewish family? Would you not outright lie, but not tell the truth either? Or would you, in moral conscience that lying is wrong, be forced to tell the officer the truth, even though the Jewish family could be killed? Or do you have some other answer? Discuss. [/I]If you want to broaden this to similar issues, go ahead. :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
