A young person is facing a moral dilemma. Their country is involved in a military action in a foreign nation, and they have been conscripted by the government for the war effort. Unfortunately, their mother is suffering from a terminal illness, and she has no other family. The person and their mother, with whom they still live, are very poor, and a soldier’s salary will not be sufficient to pay for the care that the mother requires. If the person leaves, she will definitely die alone and in great pain in their small apartment, without the medical or palliative care required to aid and comfort her. The question we are pushed to consider is what should the person do in this situation? Should they go and fight, or should they stay home and care for his mother? (These, by the way, are the only alternatives).
