    The agent faces a moral dilemma in choosing between inflicting pain on the loved ones of a culprit to gain information, or not doing so due to it being morally wrong, which could allow more people to suffer. While sparing loved ones weighs less, quantity alone cannot determine the right choice. Human rights and avoiding violence should be considered, though authorities may have few options left. Ultimately, saving millions of lives may outweigh going against the law, despite it being a difficult moral dilemma.

    The agent in the said situation could be the authorities and the moral dilemma at hand is having to
    choose between two conflicting sides— to inflict pain in the loved ones of the culprit or choose not to
    because it is morally wrong but has to note that if this choice be chosen, a number of people would be
    affected and suffer. Though we could say that the latter weighs way heavier than the former, we can’t
    also say that quantity is a means of weighing things in this critical state. Human rights were also at stake
    in this case, and violence should never be a means of settling things. It is apparently prohibited in the
    eyes of the law, and persons in authority are not exempted to that provision. But that could be their last
    resort. At the end of the day, no matter how much we argue about two opposing sides, we still has to
    find which choice elevated over the other—to save the lives of millions of people, even if that means
    going against the law prescribed. Moral dilemma it is.
