Oh dear!   This morality stuff gets complicated fast!
Everywhere you look, there are consequences.
Some expected and some totally unexpected.
All with varying levels of probability of occurrence and level of damage.
When faced with bad consequences and having to choose what may or may
not be the lesser of two evils, decisions almost come down to a coin toss.
And then you have to live with the consequences of the decision.
Maybe it will be better when AI makes all these terrible decisions for us.
