1. If I am one in that situation, I would choice to use the dynamite to rescue the greatest
number of people than the pregnant women only, I know it is a hard decision to make and
both of you want to stay alive without any of you getting killed. But if there is any option,
we will think of a way that both parties involved will survive. This situation is really hard
especially the women is pregnant with an innocent child in her tummy, but I think if the
situation really needs to pick using grenade or letting the pregnant women alive i would
choose the one that will result to a more people survivor which is using the dynamite that
will kill the pregnant woman but will save more lives.

2. A moral dilemma is a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two
courses of action, either of which entails transgressing a moral principle.  It exists when
available choices and obligations do not allow for moral outcomes. In such instances, a
choice or an action is anticipated or required, and all of the available alternatives violate
some moral obligation. Moral dilemmas are not uncommon when organizations and
individuals are working to satisfy competing interests, or when personal morals and
professional obligations are directly opposed. Those who are not familiar with its true
meaning frequently use the term "moral dilemma" in criminal justice literature. Authors
frequently use it to discuss the option between moral and immoral activity when referring
to immoral or unethical behavior that has serious repercussions. Unless the moral option
clashes with another moral responsibility, the choice between moral and immoral
behavior does not include a real dilemma.

3. Yes because even if you choose in a situation that will also result into a damage it also
save more morally result, but still it is a hard decision and it takes a lot of courage to
decide in that situation. All I can think is that the decision in that situation is more moral
if there are more survivor.
