That's a good point who would have possession of the child?

RE: Moral Dilemma

CD's response seems the most rational to me. The simplest way to look at it is, what action am I taking? I am either directly hurting a person or I am not. It is only my choice to harm the young girl in the room with me, NOT the loved one who is at the mercy of the villain. It is in fact his choice to harm my loved one if I refuse to harm the girl. In that case the choice is easy; I would not rape the young girl. Were our positions reversed, I can imagine that I would be extremely disturbed at the thought that someone violated a child just to spare me from torture.
Or to put it another way, what if you were on that end of it and afterwards you had to face that child and explain why it was better you than him/her?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Not only that, but by raping and impregnating the child, you are now directly responsible for putting an infant (YOUR child) into the hands of a psychopath. Saving your loved one is the most selfish, least moral choice.

Assuming he was going to let us go, we'd do what we could to rescue the girl and kid. I'm not sure what the point is with the emphasis of it being your kid, though. Yes you're the dad, but it's with a stranger and there's no real planning or bonding or anything. It's like if I donated sperm and found out some stranger had a kid with my sperm. It's not like I'd be asking for visitation rights or anything.

There aren't really any details besides that. I just think that having sex with someone is better than sitting in a room hearing my loved one get tortured.

It's not stated as a condition of the dilemma, and I certainly wouldn't assume that a psychopath would do such a thing. if the consequences were limited to just having sex with someone, I would agree with you 100%.
Fighting the will of one's captors, when one has no possibility of escape, or is otherwise coerced... is not wise.

If he's crazy enough to do this, he's crazy enough to rape her himself. Where would the fun in that be? I raise you: it is far more thrilling to see them squirm.

She may adapt to it, and may realize some day that it was necessary. My loved one's death will not be temporary, and my loved one will not have any chance to adapt to it. I'd therefore do oit. There are a lot of 'mays' present here. Quote:Now, if you turn it around and make it a 14 year-old loved one (a daughter or niece or something), and a stranger being saved, things would appear very different to me. I hope this 'rich bastard' gives you a perfect view of the pain this stranger is feeling. We wouldn't want you to enjoy yourself too much. Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
