I think some of the problems with moral dilemmas is not knowing one's own standards/morals and being afraid to look and make a decision. If no decision is made, it is my opinion that many more "suffer" than would if one moved "forward" and made a decision. The poor people of Omelas aren't really living in Utopia because they have to bury their distaste, fear, horror at the child living in horrible conditions. You can't unknow things and situations don't just "go away" of you don't look at them. But a lot of people have difficulty learning that I think and don't step up to the plate.

I'm personally glad you posted these problems, Alexandra, so I can better understand myself and what I think and feel when faced with difficult decisions and get an opportunity to "practice" making hard decisions in a pretend fashion.
