Ethical ambiguity occurs when decisions or actions we take have effects that can be seen as both good and bad. Frequently, this type of dilemma leads an individual to feel very uncertain of the correct action to take. A classic example would be determining the fate of many passengers adrift in a boat at sea. When there is no help around and only meager supplies to sustain the group, is it better to share equally but risk losing everyone, or deny support to some so that others have a better chance to survive? There is no clear answer and each person is left to the guidance of their own moral compass.
