Ethical Dilemma
During my forty-eight years of life I have encountered many morally ethical decisions. Some decisions I have made ethically and then others I have made just for my own selfish interests. Until recently I have never had to make a decision as hard as the one I am about to explain. To start off I must explain my family situation.

Michele the one closest in age top mine has a four year-old, and Mandy the youngest has two boys ages seventeen and five. Neither of my sister’s children’s fathers are in their life. We have always had a great relationship caring for each other’s families. We were all raised catholic, but it was only my youngest sister Mandy who was still practicing.

An ethical person often chooses to do more than the law requires and less than the law allows.
