Ethical dilemmas involve difficult moral choices that have no easy answers. In some cases, people may want to help others in trouble, but they might have to put their own lives at risk by doing so. For example, climbing Mt. Everest is an extremely dangerous activity, but many people attempt to get to the summit every year. Sometimes a climber falls near the path of others who are either on .
their way up to or coming down from the summit. When a climber falls and may die from his injuries, are other climbers obligated to rescue him at the risk of their own lives? Like most ethical dilemmas, there is no simple answer to this question. Each climber must decide the proper course of action for himself.
