In the book "Do you think what you think you think?" I found many interesting ethical questions which might show you that your moral and your ethic is contradictory.
For instance... if you can save either a man or 5 people, but if you save the man the other 5 people die and if you save the 5 people the man dies, should you save the 5 people instead of the lone man? Most people would agree to save the 5 people, arguing that one should look the greater good, and it is the greater good to save many lives instead of one life.
What if the man is family of yours? What if he's your father, or your son? Here many people would change their dicision and save their family instead.
What if instead of 5 people it were an entire city, 10 million people? Should you let your family member die to save 10 million people or viceversa?
