An ethical dilemma would be "I could demonstrably cure cancer if I did this thing that violated consent"
Right. So what I'm saying is *rarely* do we encounter situations where two applicable ethical codes conflict.

well, that's more like it! happy to stipulate to that.
-
Right, and only in those cases can we get a dilemma. Otherwise we just have an unpleasant failure.

There's no dilemma if it's "act ethically vs. not"
-
agree. just as "I don't want to clean up after my dog" is not an ethical dilemma.

Usually, it's a conflict with a desired outcome or potential outcome with ethics
-
yes those are very common. scenarios i have in mind posit two distinct ethical goals at odds (like your consent example).
-
So we agree.
-
yes i think we differ on the degree or commonality of such things but my own context likely colors my perception of that.
